In conversation with the Secretary Of the expedition,
Mr. William WILLIS we learned that he was by procs-
sion schoolnsster and be had been member of the
Church Of England. This is hs first visit to America
his wife and family are already in Utah, where he
will join them. In 1851 be went 10 India a Mormon
Missionary. From Calcutta he Travelled from station
to station to the Himalayas 20 miles of the distance
foot, teaching and preaching the Mormon doctrines
to Europeans. Up and down the Ganges be wandered
preaching with variable success. Next he journeyed
through Burmah, tauying at Rangoon about SIX
months, where be made the acquaintance OF some OF
the American Missionaries, among them Messr' Nm
csid and Vinon. During his Missionary tour be VS.
tied Penang and Singapore, and was the pioneer MS
sonary Of his faith on the Island of II. Helena lie
said that about 200 Monnons are now waiting Tor an
opportunity TO embark from India for Utah, and inc
efforts Of the Mormon Mi-soneries are very success
full more especially among the natives, whose language
they have learned.
We asked him for little light on the alleged
plurality Of wives among the MorInons. lie
said II was part Of their faith to have rs many
wives as they desired, only when a man took
new wife he must fIEt obtain the consent OF the
presiding Elder. Women are not permitted to enjoy
a plurality Of husbands but only moiety Of one.
Tie slightest violation Of the Mormon marriage rela-
ton on the part of either is punished with excom-
muncation from the church. We asked why Nor
mons did not practice their peculiar views in this re-
spect in Europe end the United States He replied the
Church always respected the laws under which they
iyed any attempt by Saint to carry the plurality
principle into practice in Europe or here would be Wis
tied with instant expulsion from the Church In Utah
where Mormon law is paramount they lived up to their
principles 10 the fullest extent We did not ask him
how the women liked polygamy but in the course OF
an orgum eri by him in s favor the Mormon estimate
of the sex was indirectly shown. He said woman was
created as a helpmect for man to bear him Children
