Phenomenal Growth of Mormonism U n d e r “ R e l ig io n ” in Time maga­ zine for Dec. 21, 1962 appears an article on “The Ninth Prophet” from which we quote the following with Time’s permission: “The President, Prophet, Seer, Revelator and Trustee-in-Trust of the Mormons — as the ‘peculiar peo­ ple’ call their leader — is the ‘living oracle of God to whom the Lord re­ veals whatever is necessary for the conduct of the church.’ Last week in Salt Lake City, nearly 500 business and civic leaders, representing Juda­ ism and a dozen Christian churches, gathered at a testimonial banquet, honoring the ninth man in Mormon history to be in direct communica­ tion with God.” The article goes on to describe David 0. McKay, and after quoting tributes from a Jewish business man and a Catholic priest, further states: “He has also relaxed a few of the stiff rules that govern the life of his followers. New converts, for exam­ ple, no longer have to give up smok­ ing. . . . Nearly one-third of the world’s 1,800,000 Latter-Day Saints have been baptized since McKay be­ came president in 1951. Much of the growth stems directly from policy decisions he made shortly after tak­ ing office. He abandoned the church tradition of urging converts to set­ tle in Utah. . . . He authorized the construction abroad of new temples — previously limited to the U.S. and Canada — when membership growth warranted. “McKay’s policies have paid off: since 1951, the number of stakes (dioceses) have risen steadily from 17,000 to more than 100,000 in 1962. Mormons now open one new chapel a week and are in the midst of a vast building program that includes a 30- to 40-floor skyscraper on Man­ hattan's 58th Street, a new 25-story office building in Salt Lake City.” (End of Time article.) The lives of the Mormon Prophets may have improved since the days of the polygamous F irst and Second Prophets, Joseph Smith, and Brig­ ham Young, but the doctrines are as unscriptural and heretical as ever and can only lead men and women into darkness and despair.
