"ARTICLES OF FAITH OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
"1. We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus
Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
"2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not
for Adam's transgression.
"3. We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind may
be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
"4. We believe that these ordinances are: first, Faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for
the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
"5. We believe that a man must be called of God by 'prophecy and by
the laying on of hands,' by those who are in authority, to preach
the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
"6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the
primitive church, viz., apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers,
evangelists, &c.
"7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation,
visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, &c.
"8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is
translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the
Word of God.
"9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now
reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and
important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
"10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel, and in the
restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built upon this
continent. That Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and
that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
"11. We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God according to
the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same
privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
"12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and
magistrates, in obeying, honouring, and sustaining the law.
"13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
and in doing good to _all men_: indeed, we may say that we follow
the admonition of Paul, 'We believe all things, we hope all things,'
we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all
things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or
praiseworthy, we seek after these things.—JOSEPH SMITH."
This is all very well as far as it goes, but I find nothing about
polygamy here, and I learn elsewhere that—
