"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 the ordinances thereof. "6. We believe in the same organization that exists in the Primitive Church--viz.: apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, etc. "7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. "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 this earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisic 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, when, or where they will. "12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates; in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. "13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we say that we follow the admonition of Paul: 'We believe all things; we hope all things;' we have endured many things, and hope to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." The fact is, that this nineteenth century heresy bears much the same relation to the Gospel of to-day that Gnosticism, Montanism, and Manicheism did to that of the early centuries. On the true foundation of the Old and New Testaments, it has built a structure of wood, hay, and stubble. "To the law and the testimony," is the constant cry. Argument is based almost entirely upon the Bible. Proof-texts are quoted by the thousand. Our object in directing attention to the Christian element in Mormonism is not to furnish apology or to divert attention from its fearful errors; but it is mentioned because it furnishes a decided clue to the vitality and persistency of the system, and also opens our eyes as to the best way to solve the religious puzzle which this system presents before us. The great question to be answered is: How are we to get rid of _the erroneous doctrines of Mormonism_? CHAPTER XV. THE RELIGIOUS PUZZLE (_concluded_).
