THE MORMON CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG.


The Branch Mormon church Of Williamsburg was
largely attended yesterday by Saints and Genties,
the latter being curious 70 hear what might be said
In relation to the troubles In the Church. Elder
Searles directed tine services, assisted by Elders
wentworth and Hart and other Saints
In his opening prayer Elder Searles made
pathetic appeal to the Throne OF
Grace In favor OF the Prophet ignam,
closing thus:-"O, God oil Israel, save thy Prophet
Brigham. and put his enemies INTO me hole that M
they are digging for MIN. Amen" The bulk of the
congregation responded, "Amen, amen"
Elder WENTWORTH exhorted his hearers to stand
by their faith ana endure prosecutions, If neces-
sary.
Elder HART said that he belonged TO the Branch
Church, in Dover, England and hearing there that
the SAINTS in the valley might have to
fight against the Gentlles, he came over
to take hand in; but finding that
there was no work for him to do ne had concluded
to go home Immediately. He concluded by advising
the Saints to fight If God or nls Prophet ordered
them 10 do so, and 10 keep quiet II they received
orders TO that eject.
1t was announced that Elder Stanes, the General
Agent for the Church IN the East would depart lor
his mountain home to-day.
