Hpirltualism Is assuming magni-

advocacy. The fact Is. epiritualism is
and always has been . principle In the
Mormon faith, only they gave 1t
another name and dressed It up In
such verbiage - to disguise Its true
being. For instance: George @.

A new classification OF the people Is
being adopted here, dividing the en-.
tire population into three sets: Nor

There should be fourth set, that is.
Mad -Gentiles but as all such mingle
with the straight out Mormons, they
are at present considered as only con-

The recent new Dred Scott decision
Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States has unjointed everything anew
