The Mormon Prophet

CHAPTER III
19/22

Accustomed as she was to excitement in the meetings of the Saints, her mind easily resisted the infectious influence.

Finney's teaching had not differed in any respect from the doctrine which she heard from her husband daily, a doctrine which she knew by experience did not save men from delusion and rancour.
She still listened eagerly to hear of some provision made in the scheme of salvation against injustice and folly.

When for more than an hour he had explained the great plan of salvation he touched upon the responsibility that the hearing of such conclusive reasoning imposed.
The sower had sown broadcast; it remained for him to speak with awful impressiveness of those forces which would be arrayed against the convicted soul.

There could be no doubt that the Mormon leaders were in his mind, as they were in the mind of his congregation.
