Now the above statements are according to our best information,
and we believe them to be true, and this is as fair a sample of
the doctrine of Campbellism as we ask, taking the statements of
these gentlemen, and judging them by their fruits; and we might add
many more to the black catalogue; even the ringleaders not of the
Nazarenes, (for how can any good thing come out of Nazareth) but of
the far-famed Mentor mob, all sons and legitimate heirs of the same
spirit of Alexander Campbell, and _Mormonism Unveiled_, according
to the representation of the cut spoken of above.
The above clouds of darkness have long been beating like mountain
waves upon the immovable rock of the Church of the Latter-day
Saints; and notwithstanding all this, the mustard seed is still
towering its lofty branches, higher and higher, and extending
itself wider and wider; and the chariot wheels of the Kingdom are
still rolling on, impelled by the mighty arm of Jehovah; and in
spite of all opposition, will still roll on, until His words are
all fulfilled.
Our readers will excuse us for deviating from the subject, when
they take into consideration the abuses that have been heaped upon
us heretofore, which we have tamely submitted to, until forbearance
is no longer required at our hands. Having frequently turned both
the right and left cheek, we believe it our duty now to stand up
in our own defense. With these remarks we shall proceed with the
subject of the gathering.
"And another parable spake He unto them. The Kingdom of heaven is
like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of
meal till the whole was leavened." It may be understood that the
Church of the Latter-day Saints has taken its rise from a little
leaven that was put into three witnesses. Behold, how much this
is like the parable! It is fast leavening the lump, and will soon
leaven the whole. But let us pass on.
