Brigham Young: Sermon on Mormon Governance

( 1859 ) Commentary by Bradley A. Skeen, Ph.D.

“The Constitution and laws of the United States resemble a theocracy more closely than any government; now on the earth.” - Sermon on Mormon Governance
“People are afraid of Mormonism,' as they call it. They are afraid of the Gospel of salvation, and say that we have something that others have not—that we have an almighty influence, and that influence is a mystery.” - Sermon on Mormon Governance
“The world seem to be afraid of the power of God, or rather, as I observed not long since, afraid that we are not in possession of it. They need not borrow trouble upon that point; for if we are not what we profess to be, we shall certainly fail, and they will no longer be disturbed about ‘Mormonism.’” - Sermon on Mormon Governance
