The death of Orson Fruit, tit Balt Lake City, a

it* ablest nml moat Intelligent champion.
Orson Frau formulated tbo metaphysical
philosophy of Mormoiilsm, which has such a
strong determining lullueneo on Mormuif theol
ogy. and be has done more to perpetuate Mur*
monism than any of tbo loaders of that system,
Ho was also tbo commentator par excellence on
the Hook of. Mormon and the Church historian,
and u umn of (treat authority in the Church,
giving to tbo .Mormons, in fact, the text-books
of tbclr faith. Tbo Mormon tbeoloiry, at set
forth by Pratt, la a system of anthropomorphism,
which baa never bad Us parallel la any seat
which accepts any part of tbo Christian Bcrlpt
urea. It makes the Mormon religion semi*
pantheistic in Its nature.
Pratt must have been n man of respectable
intellect, for, although bo Ims borrowed from all
religious to complete bis complex system, ho
bus shown a niro faculty of combination and ar
rangement. Ho makes the Supremo (Jod a ma
terial substance of limited extension; ho makes
mutter uud spirit tbo same, and borrows atomic
ideas from Lucretius, and his Intelligent llrst
cause from tbo Aristotelian philosophy. “ Thu
cods, imixols, Hud men,” says Pratt, “are all of
one species and of otto race, composing one
great and unique family, distributed through
tbo planetary system In tho form of colonies,
kingdoms, uud nations. The ureal difference be
tween one portion of the race and unuthcrarises
from Urn dlUcrenl degrees of lulclllgene<tund
purity which distinguished them uud -also fiimi
the variety of tbo spheres passed through by

law of ascending mutamurphusis is accumpauled
by tho doetnne of eternal propagation of species,
which Is made Imperative. A Mormon Is In

aneo with the polygamous precept. Polygamy
Is tbo corner-stmieof this inaierlallßlle and pan

for he kept a harem of five or six women eu
phemistically called wives. Mo has, as we re
