The Lattcr.Day saints.

We publish an article that will be read
With interest giving an account Of Con
ference held in this city some weeks age
by those peculiar people known as Latter
Day Saints. The article Is evidently
written by one Of themselves, inasmueh
Asit gives not only the points Of faith
held by them but digest Of the reports
made to the Conference by various Elders
from various points In this section Of coun.
try. These reports show that the Latter.
Day Saints are hopeful oi the future ol
their faith, and thai they are making ef-
forts, 10 proselyte the unbelieving world
around them. We confess that viewing
their prospects from their own standpoint
we doh6t see why they should feel en-
Couragedto hope for anything better in
The future than has happened to them in
the past They have had an existence
here 10 Wheeling for many years, and yet
at this late day only claim eighteen or
twenty members. They still continue to
meet at private house just as they have
done Tor perhaps ten years or more. Like
grain Of sand they have not grown
any, but rather lost bulk we sus-
pect. This would not be strange
we're they sn ordinary religious sect, But
they are not an ordinary sect like those
we see around US, They can work
miracles and other secIs do not generally
claim to work miracles. The Latter Day
Saints claim to heal sick people by an
oIntIpg their bodies, laying hands on them
snd praying over them. The author Of
the article we refer to claims that little
girl was healed in this city Of "ague and
fever" in this way during the Conference,
and the elders Of whom he speaks
claimed in their reports that the sick
were being healed In their respective vi.
cinities by the same process. Now ad-
mitting these claims TO be true, we do
not see why such religious body should
only number eighteen or twenty persons
In city Of this size. II seems to US that
1t ought TO be large, popular, and flour
lshing society. II the members can work
miracles there Is certainly no lack ot op.
pOrtunlty TO manifest the fact. If"sgue
and fever" can he cured by amounting
people, laying hands on them
aud praying over them, why can
not typhoid fever be cured in the same
way. This fever has prevailed in this
community more or less for months, and
has presented an enviable opportunity for
converting a multitude Of people TO the
tslth oi the Latter.Day Saints. What we
are curious TO know, therefore, Is why
their light has been hid under a bushel
all the time, and why, II 1t is desirable to
make converts at all, they do not use the
means within their power. They solicit
attendance from the public at their meet.
ings. There will be no difficulty about
thtsattendance II they will only heal one
person at each meeting. In q months
time no house in the city will hold the
people that will throng their doors for
admission. Our advice TO them, there
fore. Is to make use Of their extraordinary
powers to win the world to them, since it
is plain to be seen that ordinary methods
have entirely failed in their case.

by an accumulation OF errors to have made an ad-
vance OF zen days beyond the correct point. the
vernai equinox falling on the 18th instead OF tho
2lst March, as IL did at the time OF the Council OF
Nice, A. ID. 325. The shifting OF days has caused
great disturbance by unfixtng the time OF cele-
brating Easter, and hence or all other movable
easts. Accordingly Pope Gregory XIII, after deep
study and calculation. ordained that ten days
should be deducted from the year 1882 by calling

countries but the PrOtestants declined to accede
to this purely scientific improvement, because 1t
was introduced by Gregory. 1t was finally adopted
