A BUIEP SKETCH O TilE GREA
Cho Brains of Mormonism--HiB Foreign
Caroor--Tho High Priost of Polyga
my.
Noticing Orson Pratt's return to
nalt lke from England in conso
juience of th1e death of Brighami
Young. the New York Herald gives
ic following sketch of his life as
-oinnicekd with the rise and pro
;ross of Mormionism
SKETCH OF THE APOSTLE PRATT.
Sotting aside his record on
polygaimy Orson Pratt is a gontle..
an. He is a profound studont and
ti uxcellent scholar, the best speak.,
ir and writer in the Mormon church
Alnd a great logician. His whole life
shows that lie is incapable of decop
tion and subterfuge. What h is
not siatisfied with in debato lie never
assumes to believo. Hie is a living
evidence of the power of religious
impressions upon a young mind,
aInd ho gives to the world the dem.
onstration of how a naturally
powerful mind can be seriously oc
cupied with trifles and absurdi
ties, and hold them in sacred defer
once as if they were the incontro
vertiblo truths of experience and
tangible fact. In his boyhood lie
developed great thoughtfulness and
inclination to study, but ho had at
tho samo time hard work to
perform, which prevented him
from receiving much school
education. When nineteen years
of ago he became acquainted
with the prophet, and there his des
tinny was fixed. Smith had a won
derful influenco over everybody who
caine in contact wiGh him, and in no
one was it seen more than in Orson
Pratt. Was it magnotism, spiritual
ism, psychology or what? The
prophet had that influence, and
Pratt camo under it, and his whole
soul froni that time bocame ab
sorbed in the revelations and claims
of the boy prophet. He was soon
unfitted for anything but study,
preaching and writing ; lie could do
no manual labor, and before ho had
well reached full manhood he was
named in a complimontary way by
the Saints "The Gauge of Philoso
phy."
IE TARES A WIFO.
He early married a sister in the
church, of strong mental calibro, who
devotedly supported and encouraged
him in his missionary labors, and his
lifo wvas for some years unclouded.
When he hoard of polygamy his
troubles bogan. Ho had been to
Scotland on a mission, and returned
to Nauvoo, in 1841, to find his wife's
name a scandal in that city. Mrs.
Pratt had openly accused, the proph
et Joseph of cherishing an impure
disposition, and he, in turn, assumed
the virtuoso, and said that he had
only acted the tempter in the ab~
sence of Orson to try her faith. It
wvas a very trying time all round,
but the p)ropholt's statements and
arguments prevailed ; lie fully satis -
fied young Orson of his own purity,
and at the same time instilled into
his believing, confiding mind the
doctrine of polygamy, and the
adoring disciple immediately became
a victim to its Bible arguments as
he understood it, and he has since
devoted himself exclusively to its
defence.
A POPULAR wRITER.
The death of Smith robbed him of
his earthly idol, and his ,life has
been ever since one of almost con
trovorsy-with Brigham Young at
home and with the opponents of
the church abroad. He was the
earliest writer among the Mormons
of any consequence, and wvas ever
ready to pick up his lance for a
tournament with philosopher or
divine. He eschewed polities, and
published only one document out
Bido of religious controvorsy-"An
American Citizen's Appeal to the
Nation"-when the Niormons were
driven from Nauvoo. In 1848 he
was appointed to preside over the
saints in Great Briitain, and there he
took his family to toside with him.
in Liverpool. During that mission
be devoted himself ali oat exclusive.
ly to the pen. In adition to Mhi.
ng the 2ZWen,nial Star'-the organ
af the church-he wrote and pub
lished a series of pamphlets, which
rurnisihed the Mormon .ohurob all
thn amrumi1nntativ9 brains~ it over had
or over will have. Under his pro,
lific pon and preaching Mormonism
grow immnwisoly in Britain.
PRATT TUE FIRST PROPOUNDER OF
rOLYGAMY.
In 1852 tho practice of polygaay
in Utah, which had up to that time
always boon denied abroad, could no
longer be concealed, and Brigham
solocted Pratt for its first expound
or. The precious document, called
a rovolation from tho heavens, which
had long been locked up in Brig -
ham's desk, was now carefully taken
from its pigoon holo and conveyed
to "the Bowery," their summer
place of proachg,,. with all, the
solemnity duo to the crowning of a
monarch, or the reading of a decla
ration of war. Thousands of Saints,
young and old, male and female,
wore assembled at the Bowery, and
Brigham's clerk, Thoms- Bullock,
road the revelation slowly, with
great force and clearness. No* ono
beforo this had furnished an argu.
mont, an excuse or a defence. An
obscuro glimmering only had been
gathered from tho Biblo that some
ancient revered name in Israel had
had two wives. Brigham know his
man, and "Orson Pratt was called
to the stand" to make "remarks."
Ho was thoroughly prepared for the
task assigned to him, and for two
hours ho dilated on "pliral mar
riages." The Bible, Malthusianism,
tho great social evil and stock rais
ing were all placed under contribu
tion, and that poor, ignorant mass
was fully convinced that the world's:
view of marriage was all wrong;.
Poor souls! They needed argtt
mont to strengthen their own ques,.
tioning heads ; but little did they
know that the joy of their present
relief from suspense was only the
forerunner of a life of after misery.
But the work for Pratt had just
begun.
SENT TO ENLIGHTEN CONGRESs AND
AUSTRIA.
Eighty Elders were called to go
on a mission to the Eastern States
and Europo to defend the revela
tion on celestial marriage, and this
Pratt was to be the fountain and
source of their argument, and with
the :dness characteristic of Brig
ham he ordered him to the seat of
government, and under the very
eyes of Congress lie was to propa-.
gate the doctrine of plural marriage,
and claim for the Mormons a con
stitutional right to practice it as a
principle of religion. Orson Pratt
did so, and, in Washington, D. C.,
he openly preached and published
in his journal, 2%e Seer, that de
moralizing doctrine. Again Brig
ham. called him home "to enjoy
the bosom of his family" for a s'a,
son, and agoin he despatched him to
Europe-to convert the Austrians
to polygamy and %,he Utah faith ;
but Orson's mission there was short
lived, and he found it more com
fortable to spend his time in Eng
land, where he was laboring -tt the
outbreak of "the Utah rebellion."
With. the leading Utah eld then
in Europe, he sailed from T.4vei' dol
for New York, under a false namlb,
and remained in this city for several
days concealed in the homes of the
saints, possessed, as they all were,
with the absurd rapprehension that
the government would arrest themn.
They were afraid to cross the plains,
and to avoid arrest they made the
long detour via the Isthmus to San
Francisco, and p)assed . through the
south of California incognito on' to
Salt Lake.
11Is STRIFE wITH BnIGHAM.
The apostle Pratt had attained to
popularity everywhere, and -Briga
ham wvas jealous of . his infinence.
From the closing of the "Utah en"
till Brigham's death the ' prophet
never let pass5 an opportunity of
grinding him to the dust. lie has
tried to live by teaching 'branches
of education for which he was emi -
nontly fitted, but he was always pe
culiarly embarrassed. He had only
been sucoessful in polygamy. De
death of Brigham is a relief to .hiii,
and never will he submit agah'i"to
mortal man. He goes back to Utah
to be again the Orson Pratt of
whom all who have hoard of Mor~
monism know niore than of any other
manl.iii that community.
