Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marriage: Monogamy and Polygamy on the Basis of Divine Law, of Natural Law, and of Constitutional Law; An Open Letter to the Massachusetts Members of Congress, by One of Their Constituents, With Observations on the Opinion of the Supreme Court in Reynolds Vs; Unite Gentlemen, - To you in the Congress of the United States, representing Massachusetts, in which State I am a voter, and therefore one of your constituents, I desire to express some thoughts on the existing so-called Mormon problem. I address you in this open letter, rather than in a private one, hoping thereby to reach, besides your own, other candid and intelligent minds. Judging from items in newspapers and somewhat irritating articles in religious journals, one might at first glance infer that the whole nation was inflamed, with good reason, against the Mormons. But closer observation has led me to think that the excitement is a manufactured one; kindled and kept alive in the cities and larger towns, mostly by ministers, priests, and zealous members of sectarian churches. They denounce polygamy, a social and religious institution of the Mormons, as a "crime," an "evil," an "abomination," a "stigma," and use many other strong epithets and appellatives to express their detestation of the Latter-Day Saints and their peculiar marriage institution. But I have not yet seen any clear and candid arguments against the Mormons, or their polygamy, that justify the censures so profusely and ministerially showered upon them.
