Mormon Bible ef Joe Smith is making more converts
than the Jasher Bible of NJ. NJ Noah. Two hundred

Golden Bible itself il is written, They that love
the Lord Jesus Christ, shall suffer persecution"

Professor Bush, gentleman and scholar was sus-
gested as very suitable person. This was opposed.
because il was said that Professor Bush was NOT ar
thodox enough. Well, what has been the result!
why, instead OF having at least two hundred stu

the matter worse for the Trustees, Faculty, and Dr.
