Mormonism

The newspaper called The New York National Police Gazette reveals a host of the most disgusting stories relating to the behavior of this sect by the Salt Lake. The writer reports to that paper of Utica, “The system of polygamy is now in full force here. President Young has 90 wives. A few days ago, 16 of them were riding along the road in a large carriage, and 14 of them had a small child in their laps. It is said of Heber C. Kimball, the second person in the Trinity, that he has close to the same number, among which are a mother and her two daughters. Every man can have the number of wives he is able to care of, that is, after the woman is chosen and approved by the head men. Volumes could be written of such unseemly and disgusting stories of the circumstances of these things. The alarming truth is that even now hosts of men are leaving Great Britain to join with the Mormons, despite all the odious reports made of them.

The Mormons in California

Dear Sir,

My brother has sent to me the issue for this month from the American Messenger, in which there is a letter showing the condition of the Mormons in California. And if you wish to publish it, here it is at your service. After greeting the editor, he says:

On my journey to California I went past the city of the Mormons, near the Salt Lake. I stayed there fourteen days. Part of the land is good, and another part is unfruitful and worthless. They raise good crops, especially wheat. There is good water there, and a river close to the city which they call “The Jordan.”

The houses are scattered, built of bricks which are dried in the heat of the sun. There are several new storehouses being built, and a Council House. They have a large meeting house, which will hold over four thousand people. I was there one sabbath. The house was overflowing, with many outside. They had a band of music and the drum playing at the end of the meeting. I heard some say that they have a dance sometimes in their afternoon meeting—I don’t know anything about that, for I was not there. There were two preaching. The first did not take a topic, but he said, “Woe to Missouri and Illinois, and all the United States, those who participated in the death of Joseph and Hyrum Smith,” etc. The other took the topic: “Everything belongs to you,” etc., namely the Saints, the only true church that God has on the earth!

Among those who arose to address the meeting was their President, the Head of the Church, as they call him—similar to the Pope from Rome, perhaps—he who Joe Smith ordained to take his place after his death. He said that he was in the pleasures of the world for thirty years, but he did not know what happiness was until he embraced Mormonism; and then, he was a happy man, said he.

Well, if women are what make a man happy, he is sure to be one of them. He has ninety of them, according to their own assertions; and I can assure you that the Mormons do not tell lies about their leader. Some of them have two or three wives, and their leaders have more than that. They are united in their creed that a man may have as many wives as he wants, if he is able to take care of them. Well, if the Creator wishes for a man to have more than one wife, why did he not make more than one for Adam in the Garden of Eden? The Scriptures say that a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and not unto his wives.

They say also that they are not going to stay long by the Salt Lake, but they at present have fled to the mountains from persecution. And in God’s time they will return again to their “Zion, with songs, and with everlasting joy in abundance,” in Jackson County, Missouri, where their prophet, they say, has laid down the cornerstone for the most excellent temple (when it shall be built) in the whole world. And if they cannot take possession of the land in a peaceful way, they will take it by the power of the sword. That is part of the doctrine that the second Mohammedans believe.

I saw there several Welshmen, who were very kind to me. Wonder! Wonder! Wonder! forever, that the fair Welsh, beautiful in their appearance, have become so foolish as to believe the doctrine of this second Mohammed! Some of them have followed the example of their leaders by taking more than one wife. Yes, and even worse, some of them have taken the wives of some others as wives for themselves! May the Lord have mercy on them; but those are nearly hopeless.

The Welsh in Wales complain that they are being oppressed by the tithes and taxes, etc.; but if they ever move to Salt Lake, they will be sure to be oppressed even more. There they must pay a tenth yearly of the fruit of the earth, and a tenth monthly of cheese and butter for the maintenance of the church. Beware, Welshman! lest you be caught in the snare. There are many Welsh who were wealthy when they went there, but now they are very poor. And there are scores there, yes, perhaps hundreds who have repented for the bad bargain they have made, and who wish to have the chance to escape from them—and especially the women.

Now, Mr. Editor, these things ought to be put before the Welsh, so they can understand and know what sort of accursed religion the Mormons have.

A Welshman from Missouri

This is what I think also, that we should let these things be known to our fellow nation.

Yours,

W. Davies

Mormonism

Sir—Doubtless many of your readers view Mormonism as being beneath contempt, and Mormons themselves as objects of pity and sympathy, rather than of opposition. But when one considers how many are lured to destruction, by means of this deception, it becomes too important and serious a subject to ignore. We see our fellow countrymen led to the ends of the earth to live like animals. Credible witnesses who testify as to the true nature of Mormonism urge us to step in and prevent calamity on behalf of those who have yet to set out on this path. Our religion, our patriotism, our zeal for the truth and our humanity, demand that we do something in this cause. If religion teaches us to warn each other daily, “So that none shall be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,” to speak out on behalf of the silent in the cause of the lost, should we not warn each other to guard against the Mormon deception? In one way, it is surprising that so many Welsh people, raised in the bosom of the Sunday School, should let themselves be so allured by the untutored breezes of the Mormon foolishness; but obviously some have heard the truth without comprehending it, accepted the truth without feeling it; and having never been taught why and in what way the truth is truth, were consequently defenseless in the face of these deceivers; their faith was destroyed, along with everything good and religious. Let us therefore speak up for those who have no voice in the cause of the lost. Does not religion teach us to civilize the savages of the earth, to enlighten pagans, to spread religion among those who have no religion; are we to make excuses for ourselves whilst we suffer our fellow men to be lured away into the wilderness, to be turned into savages and every iota of religion expunged from their minds? What is the life of “the Saints” (may the saints on high forgive me for calling them such) but a filthy abomination? What are the elders of the “Saints” but the excommunicated offscourings of religion, and if the life of the “Saints” is an abomination here, what are they like on the far side of the sea!! What is Mormonism? A cunning device of the followers of Mammon to persuade the naïve to part with their possessions. An accursed scheme devised by the lustful so that they may enjoy the desires of their lascivious passions; Mormonism is a blast of hot air that shrivels all virtue. “Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever is righteous, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is praiseworthy,” is totally destroyed by the wind of Mormonism wherever it is allowed to blow. Why, pray, are you Ministers of the Gospel so unexercised by this? Surely it is the least that can be expected of you, and from whom could it be more logically expected? Do we not often hear that, “those who preach the Gospel should live by the Gospel?” Is it not reasonable therefore that those who live by the Gospel should defend the Gospel and its doctrines? “Awake to righteousness, and sin not, for it is high time for you to awake out of sleep.”—It is true that the odd one has delivered lectures on the subject, some of them really excellent too. One such was delivered on Tuesday night, March 23, in Moriah Chapel, Gill Street, Liverpool, by Roberts, the Bishop of the place. After the chairman, Bishop Hughes, Stanop Street, (B.) opened the meeting with a short address, comprehensive and to the point, he called on the speaker to deliver his lecture, which he did in splendid fashion, inviting us firstly to consider the historical context; and secondly to examine Mormonism from a doctrinal viewpoint. And although the subject was so wide-ranging and disparate the structure was superb. He held the congregation’s attention for over two hours; and was rewarded with thunderous applause, but one of the saints was so foolish as to try to engage in debate with Mr. Roberts, which served only to allow him further opportunities for witty riposte, until the poor saint was defeated amidst roars of laughter.

Mormonism or Saintism

Mormonism is such an unnatural manifestation of human folly, such a concoction of madness and nothing but madness, that one feels that it is rather an insult to reason to debate the subject. We have felt this for a long time, and as a result have refrained from commenting on the absurd hodgepodge lest we should lend it a significance it does not deserve. But, although we think this to be the best course of action, yet it is painful to see—not inmates of a madhouse, but those at liberty outside of it, who are considered sensible enough to look after their own affairs—being duped by something like this, and becoming defenders of it and apostles to it—people who in some cases are of good stature, sleek and well-fed in appearance and fair of countenance, some of them having an abundance of money and because of that are considered very respectable—giving respect and paying tribute to this pitiful, absurd and monstrous concoction. We do not suppose that anything we or anyone else says can have any effect on holding back this tide of foolishness. All that can be expected from pamphlets, lengthy books, and newspapers is to give some information to someone who hears about Mormonism but who does not understand it. At present, we consider it proper—reason demands it—that people should know something regarding it, as being one of several concoctions of fanatical absurdity of various stripes that men have sought to promote for the last thousand to fifteen hundred years. To save those who have sunk entirely into this polluted mire is out of the question; it could be that to try to restrain those who are on the verge of falling in is equally hopeless; but possibly there is yet one, here and there, the odd one—one in whom there is some grain of common sense, who is in danger—and it is possible to save him. In such cases as this we consider the work of men like Dr. Sexton and Mr. Tyson as being worthy of praise. Mr. Tyson, in his current pamphlet, does good service in this regard. He divides his subject into 5 parts—The History of Mormonism—the Scheme of Revelation, the Priesthood, the Apostolate, and Baptism for the Remission of Sins. Those who wish for as clear and comprehensive a point of view as possible, can buy the book, which contains much of merit.—The British Banner which includes a review of the book called, “Joseph Smith, the Great American Impostor,” by Thomas Tyson.

Witching and Mormoning

Sir,

I am not the least bit surprised that the Mormons are receiving a welcome in Wales, for the country has not been cleansed from witching yet. And since witching and Mormoning are two things so similar to each other, and are offered by unlearned, but crafty men, to simple people who are so easily charmed and ensnared, is it any wonder that the occasional disciple is won to the Mormon cause here and there throughout the Principality? There are more than you would imagine who still believe in witches and spirits in this land, especially among the ignorant and uneducated plebeians. Witches, both male and female, make a good living these days on the money of fools; this is a great shame which reflects badly on those people who say nothing against such pitiful foolishness. Shame, shame on Wales with its religious values, serving as a refuge for these filthy and predatory birds! Men in respectable circumstances, that are supposedly learned, are just so many innocents persuaded by charlatans to give away their money for reciting huge lies to them! Who knows the fortune of a man better than the man himself? And what is this yearning that men have to know things that God has not revealed? There has been, and there continues to be a great deal of lecturing among us on a number of topics; is there no way to get our most able men to lecture on this particular topic, and keep us from being a laughing stock to all the nations that surround us? And this is despite all our boasting of the Sabbath Schools and the preaching that has gone on among us down through the years. Is there no one who will speak out against this atrocious sin of witching or, rather, who will expose these knaves as imposters who are deceiving the people?

Mormonism

Mr. Editor- Oh that you would bear with me a little in my foolishness, yes, bear with me, and be so kind as to put the following in the next Welsh Hero if there is space. Late on Wednesday 23^rd of last month a man known by the name of D. J. H ——, delivered an extraordinary address on the destruction of Cwmbach, Aberdare. He began by saying that he was a prophet sent by God, obliged to come and warn the inhabitants of the destruction of the place, which is to happen 120 years hence; there will be only a very few inhabitants left; they are to be almost totally destroyed; the place will be desolate. He explained at length how he came to know this, and how those without such knowledge might come to possess it, namely, through the doctrine of the Latter-day Saints; and by believing that Joseph Smith was a prophet, called by God through an angel—receiving everything from God, namely gifts, power, inspiration, revelation and the appearance of angels, etc., etc.

“It must all be believed; and I testify to you that the same angel urged me to warn you against the destruction that is to come upon this place. You did not know of it, but we know, and only through believing the Gospel. I myself am in danger of being lost if I refused to warn you; but now, remember that I will be free, if you believe or not. Know also, that people will search high and low in order to get hold of one of the servants of God to baptize you, when we shall be far away; because we are thinking of crossing the sea as soon as we have published the gospel throughout Wales. Remain in darkness forever unless you believe J. Smith. Then all shall be revealed, if you believe what I say. Be baptized now before we go from this place, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

He spoke at length of Brigham Young and of his leadership, and of many other wondrous things to come! He remarked on what a blessed place this will be after the destruction; they shall think of returning as quickly as possible after this wondrous thing happens. He said that it would be such a lovely place afterwards; they would all be gentle, kind, godly, innocent, loving their neighbors as themselves; it will be like heaven! He said that by destroying it all it would be made good the second time; and all must be destroyed before it could be made good. In the same way that if you were to dry up yonder canal, you would have to go to its source in order to do so. And his listeners will remember that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed it would not be necessary to go to the source, but merely to command the canal, to move to somewhere the other side of Aberaman. But it’s well for him that he neither performed nor spoke of nor claimed any miracle at this present time. I read recently about “witching” and I liken this to a very cunning form of “witching”. I wrote down at the time what he said; and he did not describe what kind of destruction, whether by fire or water or some other means, this would be; but in the manner of deceivers everywhere, it would come bye and bye, after they have gone far enough away. Then he said, “120 years hence” when he is dead and gone* so that no one can tell him it’s a lie. … Gentle reader, I now write this down so that you will be prepared by the time you hear the prophet, if you have not already heard him. Guard against meddling in foolishness, lest you should be so foolish as to believe false prophets. J. B. D.

Welsh Hero, 29 July 1852, p. 2

The Mormons

It is difficult not to be shocked at the arrogance of the Mormons in what they allege; but worst of all is the great infallibility which they claim. This infallibility is even more amusing when one considers that we remember some of them claiming to be infallible and saying who would go the Heaven when they belonged to other denominations. There ought to be some kind of consistency in people who aim to beguile men into becoming believers if all their claims are not to be looked upon as childish nonsense. If men have claimed to be infallible in their previous pronouncements, which are different from those which they presently make, what is a simple straightforward man, who believes what others tell him, meant to think, that they were right then, or that they are right now? Some of those who are presently with the Mormons used to be members with the particular Baptists, and they were infallible at that time; after that they were Ramoth Sandemanians and were infallible then as well; after that they were Campbellites and they were still infallible; and they are, at present, infallible Mormons! They insist on our believing that they received heavenly enlightenment when they were particular Baptists; that they received heavenly enlightenment when they were Sandemanians; that they received heavenly enlightenment when they were Campbellites; and they insist on our believing that it is heavenly enlightenment they have received presently, as Mormons. It must be a very strange kind of enlightenment that causes them to change denominations so much, and which drags them through such a succession of conflicting sets of beliefs, as different from each other as night and day. When are we to believe these people, since they received heavenly enlightenment every time they changed their beliefs? Was the heavenly enlightenment any different when they were particular Baptists from when they were Sandemanians? Is the heavenly enlightenment which they presently receive as the followers of Joe Smith any different from that which they received when they were followers of Campbell, or did they receive a kind of gradual enlightenment from the time that they were particular Baptists until they went over to the Mormons? Whatever the nature of that enlightenment it was to blame for leading them through such swamps and quicksands before arriving at the faith that made them saints. Before any man in his right mind believes them, he has a difficult task to swallow the blasphemies they belch out against better men than they have shown themselves to be when they were with the other sects. These creatures bring to mind a story we heard years ago. Two men living in the same neighborhood used to attend the Methodist chapel; whatever someone belonging to that chapel did to offend one of the two men, his revenge was to entice his friend away to the Congregationalist Chapel. It wasn’t long before this easily-offended man was once again knocked off his perch, upon which he packed his bags and took off with his friend to the Wesleyan chapel. He was in that chapel for a short time, when again something arose with which he did not agree. Next he went to the Baptist chapel, enticing his friend to go with him; but he was offended there and thought of going to Ramoth, and taking his friend with him; but his friend said to him. “In all truth, Jack, you have enticed me to every chapel in the town, and someone has displeased you every time; I’m not shifting from this spot and will follow you no longer. I will go back to my old chapel,” and so it came to pass. Would not a man be even more foolish than he if he were to follow the Mormons who began their spiritual journey amongst the particular Baptists, however much they claim to have received heavenly enlightenment? It must be the case that these simpletons who go about the country are either fools or knaves without peer in their expectation that people should listen to them and accept their deceit. One way that they have of trying to beguile the people is to persuade them to listen to nothing that Doctors of divinity and expounders of religion say to them regarding doctrine. Which is easier to believe, a man who has made learning and theology the chief study of his life, who has lived a life worthy of the Gospel, being of good repute, who preaches the truth, who has stayed in the same place, amongst the same people for twenty to forty years, more or less, or else to listen to ignorant strays who are unable to write two grammatically correct sentences in any language under heaven; and who blurt out the first thing that comes into their heads at street corners and at the roadside? They must be very foolish, or think that people are very foolish, when they expect their philosophy to be accepted by anyone in his right mind. Even if the apostles were not brought up to be learned men, they nevertheless understood their own language, and spoke common sense; but we in Wales have never heard of such a crowd of ignoramuses, with nothing but arrogance to commend them, trying to promote their beliefs, until the followers of Joe Smith climbed up to the stump. One has confidence that the country generally possesses more common sense than to be drawn into their trap.

The Publisher of the Welsh Hero received the following letter from an old member of the Congregationalists in Rhymney, who has lately joined the Mormons :

“Reverend Sir—I take this present opportunity to write a few lines to say that I do not wish you to send me The Hero. It is totally superfluous to my requirements at present, and for that reason I do not wish you to send me anything more, as mercifully, I have broken all connection between us at present, as I have been released from the law of sin. I now conclude.

Manners and Customs of the Mormon Preachers

The Boston Herald, upon publishing the death of Elder George Adams, a Mormon preacher, reports, “On his second visit to Boston, this Elder preached and baptized converts, and lashed out at the Newspaper editor, and acted in the National Playhouse. He was diligent, and he filled up all his time. We have an abundance of stories about this remarkable creature, which we would be glad to print sometime. We end this article with a brief observation regarding the scolding which he gave to the editor, for his rather harsh critique of his portrayal of Richard III. The office of the editor was on Washington Street, where the Propeller is now kept. Adams had armed himself with a piece of leather, and kept watch for his prey. Soon the unsuspecting friend came down the stairs, and Adams jumped on him, saying, “The Lord hath delivered you into my hands, and I shall give you thirty-nine lashes, the Scriptural number. Brother Graham, keep count.” Having said that, he began to administer the punishment eagerly and enthusiastically. In the meantime, a host of people gathered around the avenger and the offender. When the count was up, he let the man go, and announced to the crowd the following: “Greetings, brethren, my name is Elder George J. Adams, a preacher of the eternal gospel. I have punished my enemy. I am going this afternoon to fulfill a commitment in the Providence Playhouse, where I will play perform one of the immortal honors of Shakespeare. I shall return to this city at the end of the week, and by divine permission I shall preach thrice this coming Sabbath, on the immortality of the soul, the eternal nature of matter, and in response to the question, ‘Who is the devil?’ May grace and peace be with you. Amen!”

Mormons Leaving Abergele Last Year

Fleeing from Abergele—flew,
Some swam in the guise of saints,
Who can say after they have moved further
That they will not sail after them?

Crowding together, a large foolish herd—vainly
To the heaven of the mad,
A poor heaven for the ungodly,
Despite speaking and crossing the sea.

They are frightful and harmful weeds—they grow
Along the fields of the devil;
Or a swarm of men who enchant
All around the country speaking nonsense.

Letters from America

There follows an abridgement of two letters received from Mr. R. Davies, formerly of Crugyreryr, Llandysiliogogo, Cardiganshire, now of New Orleans, North America. When the first letter came, its truth was doubted by two Saints, very learned, of course. Daniel from near Brechfa, Carmarthenshire, and a son-in-law of Jack Penlannoeth, Llanarth, Cardiganshire, who came especially to Crugyreryr, officially, to oppose the letter. Mr. Davies told them that neither he nor anyone else had ever had cause to doubt his son’s word, but that he would write back to him directly, for more explanation on the subject; and the second of the two following letters is a reply to that. No attention would be paid to the Saints any more than to any other men who have added to the catalogue of those who from age to age have been deceivers in the religious world, except that some gadflies such as the above wiser and more learned than themselves to doubt the truth of the matter referred to in the abridged letters below. Father.

New Orleans, March 26, 1854

My Dear Parents,

Last Sunday a shipload of Mormons came in here, in their midst was old Esther, Rhiwbren, Llanarth, and one or two of her daughters. * * * It makes me very sad to think that the Welsh have become so foolish. And indeed it is a shame on the country to think how they treat the women while crossing the sea. They marry the young little girls to the oldest old men; and if they are not willing, two of the elders take hold of the girl and put her in bed with the one who loves her most, saying, “Great is their love for each other.” Many women run away from them here; but if they find out that they are going to leave, the presidents Will Phillips, and others, tie them up until the boat leaves there. When I went on board the ship last Sunday, a little girl from Aberystwyth came up to me, asking me to take her somewhere away from the Mormons, (d——s if you wish) and I took her up to Mrs. Hughes, and she is here now as a nursemaid. The following day when I went to fetch her clothes, the Mormons were ready to kill me; and W. Ll. Phillips said that I should not have any of her clothes, but I swear he repented before long, he saw a bit of the Yankee touch, and indeed I felt like drowning him, the old ——. Old Esther Rhiwbren was ready to come back if she could, and the children too, but it is too late. * * * Tell grandmother that old Esther sends her regards, and wishes to come back if she could. * * * I am, dear parents, your obedient son, Rees Davies.

New Orleans. June 10, 1854

My dear parents,

* * * I was very pleased to hear that my letter had caused a stir in your area about the Mormons. Father, I want you to send the names of the two Mormons who came to you about my letter, and where they come from; I am very anxious to know who the two ——s are who doubt whether or not I am telling the truth; I shall endeavor to see the two Saints to settle with them. I shall put enough salt on their tails; I am going to show them the way to ride the Black Maria.

I told Margaret from Aberystwyth about your letter. It is true that the Mormons wrote home to her mother, but she was not allowed to see the letter; or write herself; what the d——s put in it she knows not. Margaret has told me to write to her mother, and tell her that she is very sorry that she did not act on her advice instead of that of Will Phillips, the Mormon. They took nearly all of Margaret’s clothes, and they tied her to the bed post to prevent her from going with us; and when she was coming away from the boat with us, three other girls were trying to run away, and the Mormons were holding them and carrying them back to the boat, and tying them hand and foot. Mr. Morgan Griffiths, Llanddewibrefi, who will be with you there about the 15^th of August, will testify to the truth of the matter; and if some of the Mormons want to talk to him tell them that when he is there, Griffiths will give them the satisfaction they want. Not one of the Mormons there knows as much about Joe Smith as I do.

[The following paragraph is in English.]

Last year there was a young girl of 15 years that came out here with the Mormons. She was a native of South Wales. She had a sister living here; she was also a Mormon. On the Atlantic coming over, the leader of the Mormons wanted the young woman to marry an old shoemaker with one leg, but she refused. But for three days they tried to coax her to marry, but she would not. On the 4^th day the chief compelled her to marry the wooden leg shoemaker, and the villain even with his own hands laid her in bed against her will with the old clump. So much for the Mormon religion. Her own sister living here told me herself. Show this to my uncle, Rev. H. Davies, Cenarth, and he can send it to be published.

I am, my dear parents, your obedient son,

Rees Davies.

These are the letters word-for-word, and they are to be seen for a time at Crugyreryr, and were shown to the Rev. T. Griffiths, Ceibyn.
