Sermon
By Rev.
Frank DeWitt Talmafie, D.D.
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 14.— That
llonnnnism constitutes a real danger
to the republic ami that it is a growing
rather than a decreasing peril Is shown
in this sermon, the text for which the
preacher takes from Isaiah ill, 9, “They
declare their sin as Sodom; they hide
it not.”
The study of the lives of great men
has always been with me a passion.
Next to reading the works of the great
authors and the speeches of the great
orators I have always had a longing to
know how these leaders of thought
looked and lived and acted in their
public and private lives. Thus as a
young man when I had the opportunity
of entertaining in our home Dr. Byron
Sunderland, who was to preach In the
Brooklyn tabernacle a couple of Sun
days, I literally pumped the old man
dry of all his reminiscences. Great
was his well of information and per
sonal experiences.
Dr. Byron Sunderland for nearly
half a century had been a resident of
Washington. He was not only known
as the pastor of presidents, but for
years he had been chaplain of the Unit
ed States senate. Webster and Clay
and Benton and Pierce and Lincoln
1 and Conkling and Blaine, all the
mighty political giants north, south,
east and west, had been his Intimate
friends or acquaintances. Hour after
h >»r would speed by as the old man
talked to me. I remember well the last
night we were together. It was nearly
1 o’clock in the morning when I said:
“Dr. Sunderland, you have been de
scribing to me many men. Tell me
the strongest personality you have ever
known." Then the old man said:
“The scene was not in Washington; it
was In Salt Lake City. Tho man was
not Webster or Clay; he was Brigham
Young. Many years ago the Mormon
church challenged the gentiles to a de
bate, and some of the leading ministers
of the east took up the challenge. Bish
op John P. Newman of the Methodist
church and myself were delegated to
meet the Mormon representatives. The
debate took place In the Mormon taber
nacle, which holds some 10,000 audi
tors. The debate had been going on
for some days, and we had come to the
closing night Bishop Newman was
summing up and maki ig his perora
tion. With the skill of an aecomplished
orator he was wheeling his facts into
line, and he said substantially: ‘There
fore, If this is so and if that is so and
If the other thing is so, then we are forc
ed to the conclusion that Mormonism
stands for nothing else besides licensed
libertinism and wholesale fraud!’ Ten
thousand angry men and women In
stantly leaped to their feet and began
to press down toward the platform.
The cry was taken up everywhere:
‘Lynch him! Lynch him! Kill him!
Stab the heretic’s heart! Kill him!
Lynch him now!’
“I sat beside Newman at the time,”
continued Dr. Sunderland. “I did not
see one avenue of escape. Suddenly
Brigham Young arose and stepped to
the front of the platform. He swung
his arm out over that cursing, swear
ing, angry mob and uttered Just two
words, ‘Sit down!’ They dropped into
their seats ns the grain falls before the
hiss of the scythe. That was to me the
most marvelous scene I ever witnessed.
As I came under the leader’s spell T
realized that he was one of the greatest
of men and one of the most dangerous,
if not the most dangerous, to American
liberties who had ever trodden Ameri
can soli.”
What Byron Sunderland said to me
over fifteen years ago was absolutely
true. Brigham Young was one of the
greatest and one of the most corrupt
men who ever lived on American soil.
His evil Influence la bringing forth Its
baleful harvest today.
I have been to Salt Lake City. I have
carefully read many of the books writ
ten both for the advocacy and for the
condemnation of Mormonism, and from
the mass of conglomerate testimony
Into which I have delved 1 can come
but to one conclusion—th&t Joseph
Smith was a crack brained e^ ^ptlc,
who, with his fits of hysteria, was Just
the man for a little while to appeal to
the ignorant and superstitious people
with whom he came In contact. But
Joseph Smith could never have created
the Mormon church. It needed more
than an epileptic visionary to do that
No sooner was Joseph Smith dead (and
he died some fifteen years after he had
begun to proclaim himself a prophet)
than this monster manipulator, this
teodern Blue Beard, this leprous Frank
enstein, this robber of men’s gold and
of women’s morals, Brigham Young,
stepped forward and gathered together
Smith’s crazed followers and molded
them together Into a social organism
of which be was to be the chief blood
letting vampire. And all that Brigham
Young stood for fifty years ago the
present head of the Mormon church
stands for today, though the claw may
have temporarily sunk out of sight in
the soft flesh of the tiger’s paw.
Stands the Sane Today.
To show that the Mormon church to
day stands exactly where It did In Brig
ham Young’a time I would quote part
of the Interview which Irving Sayford
had a few months ago with one of the
chief men of the hierarchy. Mariner
W. Merrill is one of the twelve apostles.
Question: "Mr. Merrill, have any of
the doctrines or covenants In the Mor
mon faith been altered or modified In
any respect in recent years, or do the
principles, doctrines and covenants
stand today precisely where they have
always stood?”
Answer: “There have been no changes
made.”
Question: “If that Is so, why has the
Mormon church repudiated the princi
ple of polygamy as witnessed in the
manifesto of 1890?”
Answer: “You are under misappre
hension. The Mormon church has not
repudiated the principle of polygamy.
It never will repudiate polygamy. Un
der the manifesto the Mormon church
merely set aside' temporarily the prac
tice of plural marriage—laid it on the
Shelf for the time being—in ’obedience
to the law of the land.”
Question: "Then you mean to say as
a member of the apostolate that polyg
aniy is just as much a cardinal prin
ciple of Mormonism as it ever was?”
Auswer: “Yes, sir. And I speak from
an experience of fifty years in the
church.”
Could any testimony be more con
clusive that the Mormon church stands
today in all its principles Just where it
stood in Brigham Young’s time? Now,
let us begin to examine more In detail
what this leprous social organism Is
reaching out for in this twentieth cen-
tury.
First, the Mormon church unblush-
ingly sta- Is for “graft” It represents
financial plunder. It is Boss Tweed-
Ism parading about the streets In the
mud bespattered garments of ecclesi-
asticism. It Is the Tripoli pirates de
manding blood immunity pay from all
those who come under its churchly
shadow. It is the holdup call of the
highwayman, demanding that the
stage’s passengers empty their pocket-
books at its altars. It was conceived
with the idea of financial gi^Jt, de
veloped with the idea of graft, and it is
perpetuated with the Idea of graft
The members of the hierarchy are no
more philanthropists than the bucca
neers of old were philanthropists or
that Captain Kidd was a philanthropist
when he raised his black flag over the
Adventurer on the Madagascar coast
in the latter part of the seventeenth
century.
Brigham Young did not elect himself
as head of the Mormon church for the
benefit of his followers any more than
Boss Tweed ruled New York for the
benefit of its people. He was a finan
cial robber, pure and simple. He at
once commenced to levy his taxes. This
tithing system grew and grew until out
of the iniquitous system Brigham Young
became one of the wealthiest men In
America. The world marvels at the
few hundreds of thousands of dollars
which members of the iniquitous po
litical rings of New York and Philadel
phia were able to steal. Why, these
men were only babes In the art of finan
cial graft compared to this monstrous
adventurer. Some years ago. with the
governor of what was then Utah terri
tory, I was driven about Salt Lake
City. Almost everywhere I could see
the results of Brigham Young’s finan
cial depredations. Two years after his
death the Salt Lake Tribune declared
that Young bad secured from the tith
ing system of Utah over $13,000,000.
Nine million dollars of this he squan
dered on his family; $4,000,000 he left
to be fought over by bis heirs. I have
been told that at his death he owned
one-tenth of all the wealth of Utah.
Can any man read an account of such
financial dealings and not declare that
he was the king of grafters?
King of Grafters.
What the Mormon church stood for
in its financial dealings fifty years ago
it stands for today. By its tithing sys
tem the Mormon church has now an in
come of at least $2,000,000. Where Is
It going to? For what means Is all
this vast amount of money being used?
For the spread of the Mormon gospel?
Oh, yes. Some of it is spent In that
way, Just as some of the money of the
Infamous Louisiana lottery was used
for advertising the lottery tickets all
over the world; but, without doubt, a
vast percentage of that income goes
Into the pockets of the Mormon leaders.
“But,” says some one, “you should
not condemn the Mormon leaders like
that. They do not compel the mem
bers of the church to ‘stand and de
liver,’ as a highwayman grufll/ orders
his victims to do. These church mem
bers do not have to surrender their
tithes any more than the members of
your chnrch hare to give Into the col
lection plates unless they wish to do
so. If the Mormon people give to Jo
seph P. Smith they give of their own
free will.” Ah, my friends, that is one
of the biggest delusions ever sent
broadcast over this land. The Mormon
victims do not give willingly. They
are compelled to give, whether they are
willing or not, by the thumbscrews of
the boycott and financial ostracism. If
you want proof of what I say read to
day the marvelous Investigations of
“Mormonism Unveiled,” by Irving Say-
ford, already quoted. Not only does he
cite facts seen with his own eyes, but
he corroborates with names and dates
this one fact—that Mormon excom
munication means financial persecution
and financial annihilation. If a man in
Utah does not give to the church his
tenth the church will deliberately start
forth to take away his trade. The most
fiendish work of the most merciless
trust is not more relentless and destruc
tive than this evil Institution of which
Brigham Young was the creator and of
which Joseph P. Smith Is now the In
iquitous head.
But in this dtscrlpdon of the Mor
mon hierarchy we must also declare
that modern Mormonism stands for
licensed libertinism and Immorality.
Many of these long bearded apostles,
by their own confession, are living to
day In open adultery. These gray whis
kered Mormon criminals before the
senate Investigating committee not
only unblushlngly admitted that they
living with plnrnl wives, but they
were photographed with them and
with their illegitimate offspring, born
since the famous manifesto whereby
the Mormon leaders declared they
would only cleave to one wife there
after.
Now. (he rank and fl.o of a church
cannot be better than the leaders of a
church. If you have a corrupt pulpit
in time you will have a corrupt pew.
Dean Swift in clerical garb means
Dean Swift with a debauched congre
gation. Water by the law >f specific
gravity cannot rise higher than its
source. Yet It Is undeniable that there
an- many of the rank and file who are
thoroughly disgusted with the odious
lives and false pretenses of those lead
ers. To these honest ones, who long
for better things, we must extend all
sympathy.
A Visit to Salt Lake City.
Let us go and visit Salt Lake City.
We stop and look in the city directory
to find where the Mormon leader lives.
“My.” you say, “Uncle Joseph must
move quite often to escape paying
rent. Why, here are five different
bouses under his name.” “Yes,” I say,
“he sleeps in one house, eats breakfast
in aqpther house, has supper in another
house, spends the evening in another
house and sleeps in another house. In
each one of these homes he has a dif
ferent wife. When he walks along the
street forty-two different children can
stop him and call out, ‘Hello, papa!’
Uncle Joe must have a great memory
to remember the faces of all these chil
dren. He must have a deep well of
affection to love all of his progeny. He
must be a financial genius to support
all these homes and yet be a ‘poor min
ister.’ ” Most of us Protestant minis
ters have hard work to make financial
ends meet and support one wife and
three or four babies, but Uncle Joe cer
tainly can do wonders. I have more
respect for the stag lording it over his
herd or the shaggy four legged beast
leading his cattle over the western
prairie than for this human libertine
walking around and posing as an apos
tle of God and talking about love. Yes,
he has love, but It is the love of a
wholesale libertinism which ought to
push its devotee out of all decent so
ciety.
While writing this sermon there lies
before me a list of the domestic me
nage of the leaders of the Mormon
church. Francis M. Lyman, the presi
dent of the twelve apostles, has two
wives; John H. Smith, an apostle, two
wives; Heber J. Grant, apostle, two
wives; John W. Taylor, apostle, five
wives; Mariner W. Merrttl. seven liv
ing wives and forty-six children; Mat
thias F. Cowley, apostle, three wives;
Rudger Clawson, two wives. Now, If
these men are living in open sin, what
are they doing in secret? And if these
; church leaders, these apostles, are liv
ing In such illicit relationship, what are
the rank and file of the Mormon church
doing today? If the truth about the
I libertinism of the Mormon church could
be fully pictured the walls of Pompeii
would be looked upon as a picture gal
lery of virtue and of modesty In com
parison. All decency, all purity, all
virtue, should rise up in wrath against
the sins of the Sodom and Gomorrah of
the Utah plains.
But modern Mormonism stands for
more than financial graft and unlicens
ed libertinism. It stands for the degra
dation of woman, not only through the
evil door of sin, but also through the
narrow door of superstition. What
Brigham Young and his associates
could not accomplish by false means
they tried to accomplish by the blinded
eyes of superstition. Where they could
not overthrow woman by her physical
i weakness they tried to overthrow her
by her spiritual credulity. The suc
cessors of Brigham Young are now try-
leg to render her helpless, as the Phil
istines rendered the mighty Samson
helpless after his betrayal by Delilah.
They try to put out her two eyes and
compel her to stagger around In the
; temple of Gaza while they mock at her
and deride her helplessness.
An Impossible Tnsk.
There are two means whereby It Is
possible to overthrow a good woman.
The one is through her heart or by her
^love. That Is not what the Mormon
'leaders can do. Even Brigham Young,
with all his powers of persuasion, could
not prove to a sensible woman that he
could love equally well and at the same
time twenty-six wives besides a score
or more of affinities. The second way
for the Mormon hierarchy to overthrow
a good woman is through her religious
beliefs. This is one of the ways In
which the Mormon church accomplishes
its infamies. The leaders of that
church promulgate these two doctrines
First they say:
“A woman who Is unwilling to mar
ry and beget children Is a woman who
will have no part In the glories of the
celestial life. Therefore It Is the duty
of every woman to marry, no matter
what may be the desire of her heart.
Love or dislike of life has nothing to
do with the matter. In the Mormon
world a woman must be sealed to a
man or else she is doomed to eternal
death.” The second doctrine ia like
unto the first: “The highest seat In
heaven for the good Mormon la for the
Mormon saint who takes unto himself
the greatest number of wives and rears
up the greatest number of children, for
on the great day of ascension God will
first call up the bnsband. Then the
husband. In turn, will call up his wives.
Then the mors wlven and ths more chil
dren the man can produce the greater
will be his rewards for eternity.”
Therefore the Mormon church says:
“Woman, marry. Woman, get your
husband aa many wives as you can, for
such is the will of God.” By thus ap
pealing to woman’s superstition ws
find that husbands havs married sis
ters and even mothers and daughters
and had children by them all. Is it not
about time for this horrible teaching to
end?
“Bot,” again says some one. “the
government has no right to stop the
belief of man and woman. Here we
have no union of church and state.”
No. the government baa no right to try
to make a Baptist out of a Methodist
or a Presbyterian out of a Catholic,
but it certainly has a right to stop any
teachings that lead directly to crime or
which may be used to overthrow, a
man’s or a woman’s morals. The In
dian government certainly had a right
to interfere and stop mothers casting
their children to the crocodiles in the
Gauges. It certainly had a right to
stop the widow burning and the Indian
Juggernaut. Our government certain
ly has a rigid to forbid the use of the
mails for vile literature and for the
selling of lottery tickets, and It cer
tainly has a right to stop *tbe crime of
polygamy at its source and to compel
all citizens to obey the statute of the
land. Utah as a state pledged herself
to such obedience, but she violated her
solemn pledge. The government has a
right,* therefore, to enforce the laws
and prevent our land from being over-
run with the crime of polygamy and
with illegitimate offspring. The super
stitious teachings of Mormonism are
responsible for these conditions. The
degradation of women is its object, by
fair means or by foul, by the door of
sin or by the narrow gate of blinded
superstition.
But these are not the only objects
aimed at by the Mormon hierarchy.
They aim to scatter their evil doctrines
and evil teachings over all the west
and over all the east and over all the
north and over all the south and over
all the United States. Their object Is
not only to capture Utah for their
church, but all this western hemi
sphere.
Brlcham Young's Prophecy.
Many years ago Brigham Young war
asked this question: “Mr. President, do
you believe Mormonism will ever elect
a president of the United States?” “I
do not know,” said he, “whether the
Mormon church will ever elect a presi
dent during my lifetime, but I do feel
that before I die the Mormon church
will be so powerful that it will hold the
balance of power at the ballot box.
Then the two dominant parties will
have to make terms with us before ei
ther one of them will be able to elect
a president.” Is not his boast, made
many years ago. in danger of coming
true today? Mormonism politically
dead? Why. Mormonism was never as
much alive as todays The danger of
menacing Mormonism is not that of a
galvanized corpse. It Is an actively
virulent destroyer, which threatens to
carry Its germs through this land as the
smallpox patient nearly annihilated the
people of the Mexican kingdom of the
1 Monteznmas. Today, with Its vast fol-
; lowers, the Mormon church practically
owns Utah. It has scattered Its peo-
! pie throughout many of the neighboring
; states. It has its missionary workers
1 In almost every great city of the world.
; And today its representative comes
knocking at the door of the United
States senate, crying: “Let me In. Let
me have my voice beard in the dellb-
1 erations of the highest legislative tri-
; banal of the United States. Let me In.
Let me in.” Now. my friends, comes
; the practical question: Shall we let
Reed Smoot in? By bis allegiance to
the hierarchy he stands as advocate for
I all the sins of which these men are
guilty. As such a representative he
should be cast out. A great memorial
on tills subject has been circulated by
! the women of America, calling upon the
senate to exclude Reed Smoot. They
! have done their part nobly and well.
Shall the men be silent? Shall not we,
too, importune our national representa
tives? Shall we not lift our voices un
til at last a great chorus of protests
shall thunder in the senate chamber of
our national capital which shall say,
“Mormonism and all those who advo
cate its evils must have no part in our
governmental life.”
Representatives of Mormonism shonld
be forever debarred from entering our
congressional halls or participating In
! legislation on the ground that they, as
Mormons, owe first allegiance to the
; Mormon hierarchy. Their oath of alle-
! glance to the hierarchy is in direct an-
j tagonism to the spirit and porpose of
' American citizenship. It binds them
: hand and foot like slaves. Utah today
la struggling in the grip of this mon-
i strous evil as Laocoon and his sons
were struggling in the grip of the dead
ly serpent. Like a demon, this evil
church is casting its malignant eye on
every part of our fair land. Beware,
O American, lest Its blasting breath
may yet touch your own home! Are
not the Mormons after our owu state
as well as Utah? With their Infamous
teaching are they not after every home,
every city? Is not even the White
House at Washington the throne of
power at which they are casting long
ing eyes?
I beg and plead with all Christian
people to be much on their knees In
prayer, that God will cut out the can
cer of Mormonism from this nation, as
he cut out the cancer of slavery. For,
mark yon, If Mormonism is not soon
eradicated and stamped out, there may
come a time when God will demand its
obliteration at any sacrifice.

It la not generally known that the In

language, was originally designed not
for commercial purposes, but to es
tablish a universal peace. Its inventor,
Dr. Z&mehof, was a native of Blaly-
atock, one of the most cosmopolitan
centers of eastern Europe. It Impress
ed the doctor that one of the chief
causes of the racial fights which dis
turbed the town was the Inability of
the various races to fraternize through
a common language, and he straight
way began the planning of his “uni

doctor, the people most in need of such
an understanding have, for the most
