Excerpt from The Mormon Menace: A Discourse Before the New West Education Commission, on Its Fifth Anniversary at Chicago November 15 1885
The second writing named is a patriotic prayer, good for all time when any scourge, like locusts to the oriental farmer, has smitten the land. Spare Thy people 0 Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach. No sentiment is more deeply imbedded in the history of our country, starting at Plymouth Rock and carried westward by the early migrations, than that our splendid public domain is a sacred trust. These vast prai ries, fat bottom lands, mountains packed with treasure, have ever been esteemed by the devout as a divine heritage. When, therefore, any part of the country is menaced with moral evil, it concerns all the rest to come to the relief of the exposed point. The body politic, the family, our common Christianity have all been infected by the poison of polygamy.
