UTAH AND THE MORMONS.
TEMPLE AT NAUVOO.
"The fount in the basement story is for the baptism of the living, for health, for remission of sin, and for the salvation of the dead, as was the case in Solomon's Temple, and all temples that God commands to be built. You know I am no Gentile, and, of course, do not believe that a monastery, cathedral, chapel, or meeting-house erected by the notions and calculations of men, has any more sanction from God than any common house in Babylon.
"The steeple of our Temple will be high enough to answer for a tower—between 100 and 200 feet high.
