The Lions of the Lord

CHAPTER XXIII
12/17

This tree was a small evergreen, with bunches of raisins tied to its branches.
Discovering that it was not good for man to be alone, Brigham, as God, then caused a sleep to fall upon Adam, and fashioned Eve from one of his ribs.

Then the Devil entered, in black silk knee-breeches, approaching with many blandishments the woman who was enacting the role of Eve.

The sin followed, and the expulsion from the garden.
After this impressive spectacle, Joel and the rapturous Christina were taught many signs, grips, and passwords, without which one may not pass by the gatekeepers of heaven.

They were sworn also to avenge the murder of Joseph Smith upon the Gentiles who had done it, and to teach their children to do the same; to obey without questioning or murmur the commands of the priesthood; and never to reveal these secret rites under penalty of having their throats cut from ear to ear and their hearts and tongues cut out.
When this oath had been taken, they passed into a room containing a long, low altar covered with red velvet.

At one end, in an armchair, sat Brigham, no longer in the role of God, but in his proper person of Prophet, Seer, and Revelator.
