Would a Prophet who ever received a true revela-tion deny it, punish his followers for observing it, andthen practice it for himself? How appropriately the answer is given to thisquestion when one takes up the Mormon HymnBook, and finds among its verses, used in theirchurch services, the following leading lines : 1. The God that others worship is not the God for me. 2. A church without a Prophet is not the church for me. 3. A church without Apostles is not the church for me. 4. The hope that Gentiles cherish is not the hope for me. It has no faith nor knowledge; far from it I would be. 5. The heaven of sectarians is not the heaven for me. Mormon Courtesies.—The leading mem-bers of the Mormon Church we met during ourstay, were gentlemen, treated us very courteously,and apparently offered us every facility for ob-taining information, and they will treat allstrangers in the same way. We feel under 154 WMM ^m€iFI€ FO¥MI& wmm ^m€iwi€ wowmibw. 155 especial obligation to many of them for theirkindness and courtesy. And we are greatlymistaken if they do not respect any one for afree, manly and frank expression of opinionconcerning them and their institutions, morethan they would a fawning sycophant, or gush-ing twaddler in reference to the course they havechosen to follow, or the work they have their institutions nor their practices arethrust into the faces of travelers. If knowledgeconcerning them or their customs is desired, itmust be sought after. They have a special hos-tility for those whom they call apostates, andthough a man may be moral and upright in hislife before he leaves their church, he is nothingbut ^concentrated meanness afterward
