IA OF law fsau 0f r. AT n IN
was given OF the Mormon propagardists on Long
Island, and 1t was reported that Bishop Burton, OF
Salt Lake City, had established branches Of the
saints NJ Hampstead, Baldwnsvilie ana other loca-
tions near Rockville Centre. During the past week
the war against the "Gentileu world was carried on
with increasing vgor and other laborers have been
despatched north and south throughout the island.
Several elders have arrived from the City Of tho
Saints, and dnrirg THIS week an additional force OF
elders and priests, headed by bishop, will REIN
force those already here.
The labors OF Bishop Burton during tue past week
have been very successful at freeport, the Old
branch established by Brigham Young about thirty
years ago. The church, under the care OF J. K.
Benedict an elder baptized by Young on the first
establishment of the colony, has been built up
and confirmed In the faith as taught In Utah.
Twelve persons most OF them wealthy ana able ana
wiling to- cooperate in the work have been con-
verted and baptsed there 5y Bishop Burton and his
assistants OF whom he has eight or nine. In Bald
winSylle twenty hoYmons, most OF ihem recent
converts, have rented large upper room in the
SINGLE hoiel OF which the village boasts ana there
hold forth three times day To crowds OF wondering
rnstcs telling them OF the recent revelations from
tho Most high, and warning them OF the coming
trouble by fire and sword and OF the dire destruc-
tion OF all who refuse to believe and tender their
allegiance to the Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter
Day Saints at Baldwnsvllle !. T. Az ratcaogne Is
located the nucleus Of another branch; at Hemo-
stead another, and at Rockville grand effort Is
being made to establish still another.
Many OF the principal towns IN Maine, MASs1 chl-
setts Pennsylvania and New Jersey have been set
apart as districts which are now being worked and
consequently grand rally around the banner OF
Mormonism may be expected. In Connecticut also
prOseIytes are being gathered, and large staff OF
MISSIONARIES principally natives OF that STATE, have
returned from Utah and come TO warn their frends
az ainst the approaching day OF wrath. large
re ay OF missionaries have been sent out West, 10
Canada and to England and Eur0pe for the purpose
OF gathering all the members and MS many converts
as can be had to the valley In the mountains or TO
the Eastern Utah, which. should the movement
be successful IS to be established on Long lslRld.
Bishop Burton and the other leading Mormon
church dgnitares now IA Long Island make no
secret of their Intentions and express themselves as
bcng OF the uitiinaJe success OF their mission
ana the spread OF MormOnism until 1T becomes the
established religion OF the world Tneir objects ana
opinions may be gwen best in Bishop Burt0n's own
words. lie SAYS I'VE do not seek booashed or war
but the master revealed TO Joseph smith that this
great Continent was 10 be the land from which the
delegates OF Christ were to pe sent 10 all parts OF the
unbeeying world, and for TINS purpose, in his own
good time, lie VIII give IL tO our peOpe, we are Oe.

The leaders o.sthe movement IN Long Island are
pecnlary retcent IN regard to the new schisnlatfc
movement at present taxing place in Salt Lake Cigy
and their followers Oh Long Island no doubt will be
at q loss 10 reconcile the statements made
to them III regard to the unity and peace
which prevails In tho City oil the SAINTS, with
the account given by the HERALD correspondent
yesterday OF the organization OF the "Church OF
Zion" and the adoption by the saints OF It's consti-
tuition
Polygamy is rarely referred to In the crusade but
the life OF the saints at Utah painted III the most
glowing coIors and comparisons urawn between tue
social state Of the 'vallev OF the mountains" and
tie large cities under Christian rule. The principal
congregation OF the saints on Long Island, however,
Is not TO be found In any Of the places already re-
ierred to, but in place much nearer home-l4
Grand street, Wiliamsburg-where there Is quite
large congregation, and from which drafts
are repeatedly made for colonists for Utah.
The movement has Obtained n very strong
footing in Williamsburg and the degree oi
SUCCESS which tney continue TO meet with
gives rise TO much apprehension on the part OF the
Christian community there. Three sessions are held
every Sunday, and the large room engaged by them
IN Grand street is rapidly becoming too small iof

was held yesterday to listen 10 an address from
