The theologically bedizened sensualism of mormondom finds further manifestation of its conception of heaven. If I can get any intelligent idea of the after life of mormons by the study of their inane sermons it is something like this: There are two resurrections one of the spirit, the other of the flesh. After the second resurrection the spirit and body are united and transplanted to some place in the universe where they gather up enough raw planitary material out of which to "organize a world."

To this world the resurrected man now hies himself and by virtues of the "sealing power" of the Mormon priesthood all the women who have been "sealed" to him for eternity are attested or transplanted to this same planet. Here they set up housekeeping as Adam did in the Garden of Eden, and they will live eternal lives unless some walking or talking snake should put up a job on them as it did on Eve.

To this world of his own creation the man will be the God even as Adam in Mormon theology is the God of this world. He is the King and his wives queens. Their kingdom will consist of their own "eternal progeny." Hence polygamy is essential because the extent and glory of every mans kingdom in the hereafter must depend on the number of wives sealed to him for eternity.

Such a conception of heaven is debasing because its highest pleasure consists only in the voluptuousness furnished by the Grecian hetaera, its only rewards are sensual, and the greatest means of exaltation is a fecundity that would make the jack-rabbit envious.

If this exposure and protest is disgusting then I can only say in my own defense that it was quite unavoidable because in opening an ulcer, if it is well done it must expose a nauseating mass and in this particular it makes no difference whether the instrument used is a meat axe or a stiletto.
