APPENDIX.
It is frequently claimed by our enemies, and especially by apostates, that the "Mormons" teach one set of doctrines in England as "milk for babes,"—doctrines which are harmless and even commendable, but that quite different doctrines are taught in Utah; and that murder, robbery, adultery, and, in fact, every crime known to man is not only winked at, but taught as a duty, as part of the religion of the Saints. To support these statements, garbled quotations and mutilated extracts from the utterances of the leading Elders of the Church are cited from the Journal of Discourses, followed up by the assertion that these discourses are only preached in Utah; when, in fact, the Journal of Discourses was a semi-monthly periodical published in Liverpool, commencing in 1854 and continued up to some two years ago, and widely circulated in England; the Church authorities having nothing to fear from a publication of their discourses, where all that they said was presented to the people.
