Author Description

Excerpt from Brahmoism: Or, History of Reformed Hinduism Mormonism upholds the doctrines of universal salva tion, but the glimpses it presents of heavenly felicity are in grossness and sensuality scarcely surpassed by the views of Paradise embodied in Mohammedanism. In heaven they marry and are given in marriage and the most favored of the Latter-day Saints expect to have in heaven harems as full at least as those they are compelled to leave behind for a time when they go out of this world. And besides, they settle by nice calcula tions the number of acres they are to have, each of them, around his palatial residence in heaven, to im prove by tillage and adorn by art. One good feature of their community, unremitting toil proceeding from or sustained by admirable habits of industry, is perhaps the only redeeming feature of their grossly sensual de soriptions of heavenly bliss.
