Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mormon Menace: A Discourse Before the New West Education Commission, on Its Fifth Anniversary at Chicago November 15 1885 The first of these writings affirms the loss of divine favor to whatever scheme of colonization or state-building that attempts to carry by covering up a great iniquity. The brilliant opening of Joshua´s campaign for the possession of the land was checked by the bad faith of one man in trying to make gain out of something God had given over to destruction. No more success against the enemy till the sin of Achan, his agreed for the spoils, was avenged. The forbidden thing in the midst of the camp of our New West cluster of coming states, indexed by this occasion as with burning finger-point, is the Mormon menace. The second writing named is a patriotic prayer, good for all time when any scourge, like locusts to the oriental farmer, has smitten the land. "Spare Thy people O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach." No sentiment is more deeply imbedded in the history of our country, starting at Plymouth Rock and carried westward by the early migrations, than that our splendid public domain is a sacred trust. These vast prairies, fat bottom lands, mountains packed with treasure, have ever been esteemed by the devout as a divine heritage. When, therefore, any part of the country is menaced with moral evil, it concerns all the rest to come to the relief of the exposed point. The body politic, the family, our common Christianity have all been infected by the poison of polygamy. The morals of Salt Lake are felt by the cities of the interior and the East. The life of our people is so intertwined by trade and travel and social sympathies that moral isolation is impossible.
