Show us this new temple of theology in which the sisters had worshipped. Open the book of themes which constitute the grand system of Mormonism. -- The disciples of the prophet believed in the Book of Mormon; but nearly all their themes, and that vast system of theology which Joseph conceived, as the crowning religion for a world, were derived from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament of Christ, and modern revelation. New revelation is the signature of Mormonism. The themes begin with Abraham, rather than with Christ; but they go back to Adam, and to the long "eternities" ere this world was. _Before Adam, was Mormonism!_ There are _generations of worlds_. The Genesis of the Gods was before the Genesis of Man. The Genesis of the Gods is the first book of the Mormon iliad. "Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 'Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. "'Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding. "'Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? "'Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof: "'When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?'" Brother Job, where wast thou? Joseph answered the Lord when the Masonic question of the Gods was put to him: "Father, I was with _thee_; one of the 'morning stars' then; one of the archangels of thy presence." 'Twas a divinely bold answer. But Joseph _was_ divinely daring. The genius of Mormonism had come down from the empyrean; it hesitated not to assert its origin among the Gods. This is no fanciful treatment--no mere flight to the realm of ideals. The Mormons have literally answered the Lord, their Father, the question which he put to their brother, Job, and have made that answer a part of their theology. But where was woman "when the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy?" Where was Zion? Where the bride? Where was woman? "Not yet created; taken afterwards from the rib of Adam; of the earth, not of heaven; created for Adam's glory, that he might rule over her." So said not Joseph. It was the young East who thus declared. The aged West had kept the book of remembrance. Joseph was gifted with wonderful memories of the "eternities past." He had not forgotten woman. He knew Eve, and he remembered Zion. He restored woman to her place among the Gods, where her primeval Genesis is written. Woman was among the morning stars, when they sang together for joy, at the laying of the foundations of the earth.
