Mr JAMES G. EDWARDs, SIR:-According to promise, I now address you a few lines in relation to the new doctrine of "MARRYING FOR ETERNITY," lately gotten up by the Holy Joe, the Rough He Goat of Mormonism, for the benefit of his flock. Joe says that as "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in Heaven," in eternity, it has been revealed to him that there will be no harmony in heaven unless the Saints select their companions and marry IN TIME, FOR ETERNITY!!! They must marry in time so as to begin to form that sincere attachment and unsophisticated affection which it is so necessary to consummate in eternity in order to the peace of Heaven. So Joe Smith has lately been married to his present wife Emma, for eternity as well as for time. The doctrine is that a man may select as many wives for eternity as his devotion to the interests of the Mormon Church will entitle him—and this is to be determined by revelation through His Holiness, the Prophet!

This "marrying for eternity" is not the "Spiritual Wife doctrine" noticed in my Expose, but is an entirely new doctrine established by special Revelation. The "SPIRITUAL WIVES," for time! and the "CELESTIAL WIVES," for eternity! The Mormons are now busily engaged in carrying out the doctrine.
