Terrible Arraignment of Polygamy by a

of Being Shot Down.

Rev. A. S. Kavanagh took for the
subject of his address at the hionth Nor-
wallt Methodist church. last night,
"Boole Among the Mormons," upon
which the late Rev. W. H. Boole was to
have spoken in South Norwalk. next
Friday night. Mr. Kavanagh said:

Last Sunday the Indies secured tickets
to dispose of during the week for a leo-
turo to be delivered by Dr. Boiilc upon
his experiences among the Mormons.
Monday morning the sale of tickets
began and reports from every quarter
indicated great enthusiasm over the Ice-
tuvc and aready sale of tickets. There
was not only a desire to see and hear
one whose. form and voice were familiar
in this place; but also curiosity to learn
his experiences among the Mormons.
But on Monday flight We were astounded
when we learned that the silver cord
was Implied. the golden bond was broken,
the pitcher v 'as broken at the fountain,
and the wheel was broken at the cistern.
His spirit had returned unto God who
gavcft.

Such was the interest in the subject
it n which he was to speak that I have
so fed if for this owning, becaurn: I
have the principal facts from his own
pen, in letters which he published a few
years ago in the Christian Advocate at
the request of the editor of that paper.
Most every age. is characterized by the
stylo of its preaching and preachers; by
the phases and methods and theologi 'al
discussion. Some ages have been polem-
ic and have been eharacteriml by poltmi-
ical preaching. In some ages it was easy
to build creeds; in others the practical
side of Christian life was emphasized.
Today the cry is, Back to Christ-back
to Christ. Christ- rafher than creed.

Dr. Boole was a born polemic. If lll'
was right. nothing could change him.
If he was wrong—being satisfied that
ho was right—the same tenacity charac-
terized him. Perhaps it is not too much
to say that he never seemed so much in
his 310 aswhen a battle was raging
and he imself in the midst of it.

In the year I871 an earnest invitation
came from the Pacific coast to the Na-
tional Camp Meeting association to come
to California and conduct a great evan-
gelistic campaign. A company of ten
persons—six men and four wonicnwfw-
coptcd the invitation. The. four women
were wives of members of the party.

 

The men were. W. H. Boole. J. ti. Inskip, '

William Macdonald, Father Coleman.
William B. Osborn and J. E. Scarlcs.

names in our churchhistory. No

mowed to have an overwhelming im-
pression that it was to be their rivilcge
to preach the gravel even to igluun
Young hinuwlf. Mr. Boole in a:

“On a certain morning, whl e thus iii
session and pniyiagd walled to say
'Brethreu. I suggest to you that we
any new that find will give to Brigham

'onng while we shallboin Halt Lake
City. a last call to repentonec.‘ "

“More than one of the brethren,“ Dr
Boole writes. respiualed: "The same
impmssiou has been upon my mind
while we have been engagedin prayer."'

'l'histhought took )msession of the
six brethren and the prayed earnestly

that. (iod won (I open the
way to preach to t to very
head and front of Mormonism.

They arrived at Salt lavkeUitymitchcd
their big tent on the lots where now
stands the Methodist Episcopal elmrch.
The coming of the evangelists had berm
heralded far and near. Brigham Young
considcnul the event of such inqmi'tancc
that he Warned his people from the
platform of the Morman tabernacle for
several Sundays against the pn-uchers
and thoirmcetings. lint this proved to
'be the gmndest adverfim-mcnt Imsible.
So when the evangelists arrived a gn-af
throngof (ii-fillies and Saints weir on
hand to receive them. At the very first
nit-cling the great tent was crowded.
'I‘he brethren decided to say nofhing
that would ruffle. the feathers of the
Mormons: would preach only the simp- ,
lest gospel possible. avoiding everything
that Would cause debate. All Went well
for a week. There was no stir: all was
calm and peaceful. But the second Sun-
day morning Mr. Boole. without consult-
ingthelm'thrcn on the wisdom or cs-
]s-fiioncy ot’ the step, resolved upon at-
tending the Mormon tabernacle and
learning of Mormonism from the lips of
a Mormon. The preacher on this oc-
casion was the celebratmi J. Q. Cannon.
(in the platform were seated Brigham
Young and the other apostles, and a
long row of' elders. The discourse was
an exposition of Mormonism, its his-
tory. creed and works. Mr. lioolc. on
returning to his home, wrote out the
sermon, [mint by point. lic got an iii-
sight into Mormonism that he never had
before. Ile says:

"I learned that morning that MOI”
monism is the mnjoining of the Antonio
and Melchiscdcan prieslhmsl in one dis- 1
”situation. called Perfection. The Old
and New Testament economies are now
united after the lapse of the centuries'
andthc falling away of (lod's ancient
people. Israel. The scattering of' tho!

people, and without a pricsthvml. Now i

‘ hood and conjoined them in one, that is,
in livigham Young. .\s(lannon preach-
edhc pointed to Brigham Young and
said. 'fbis iminstandson earth in the

words that he had not prepared to speak.

The multitude. now. instead of burst-
ing forth in exclaniatious of wrath,
seemed awed and overcome by the. dar-
ing of the man. I"orover two hours the
preacher preached in spite Of all inter-
mpfions.

When he concluded his sermon a
scene ensued which bafllcs all descrip-

sprang to their feet and stood upon the
benches. They howled. They flung
their arms from side to side as if misses-

this great tent upon the plazas of the
different cities and then open their bat-
teries for the. salvation of souls. As
they wore traveling‘across the country
by the. Union Pacific road they met with
D. L. Moody and Philip Phillips, the
singing pilgrims, who Were. lsupposc.
on an evangelistic tour. When they

reached Schuyler. Nebraska. they were;

detained for awhile on account of a
driving snow storm; Mr. Boole prome-
'cd. as it was early in the. evening. that
some of the company pay a visit to the
bar-rooms of the settlement and enter-
tain the people with song and prayer.
Those who decided not to go Were to re‘
main in the cars-and pray for those who
went. Among the volunteers were. Mr.
Boole and Mr. Moody, and possibly
Philip Phillips.
welcomed in several houses. They found
settlers who had been members of the
Methodist and other churches in th:
East. They knelt and prayed with
them and sung the old songs of the
church {1 1r them.

At length they reached the saloon.

"There was a billiard table in the center
of the well—lighted room. ”lie of the
company said to the proprietor:

““‘c are. from the East. snowbound
on the train pulled up at your station.
“'8 sin sometimes, and Would be glad
to sing here if you will let us."

l
”0, yes. we'd beglad to hear you,",

was the rcpI y.

Sothey sang ”I Love tot Tell the
Story." The men at the billiard table
stopped their play and listened. After
singing several hymns Mr. Moody dis—
tributed some religious papers. Then
Mr. Boble turned to the man behind the
.bar and said:

“ us, we fellows pray sometimes:
will you let re: pray hem?" _ . '

The proprietor was somewhat taken
,‘back,but without waiting for a deci-
sion the four knelt and continued on
their knees until, all four had prayed.
They returned to the train.
forward Mr. Boole received this letter;
