Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mormon Saints The History of the Mormons contains many strikingly interesting features; and speculation as to the probable future of the Church in the United States is being freely indulged in by those who have watched the actions of the unbelievers in regard to the Latter Day Saints. The Supreme Court has recently decided that the dissolution of the Church under the Edmund´s law was constitutional; so that as a corporate body it has ceased to exist, and its property is to be administered by Federal officials. Those who continue to practise plural marriage are being rigorously imprisoned, and the latest ´revelation´ has caused the abandonment of the teaching of polygamy. The Gentiles are out-numbering and out-voting the Mormon dwellers in Salt Lake City.Will the repressive legislation and the influx of Gentiles, weaken the hold of the faith upon the minds of the present followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young; and prevent the accession of youthful converts to the Church? What are the characteristics of the Mormons? Are they misguided fanatics or vicious people? How should they be treated by those people whose views are antagonistic? Is polygamy still secretly practised? Is the faith a rational one, or based on superstition? What lessons may be drawn from this history of bloodshed and persecution, and the struggle to found a settlement in a strange land?
