ignorant aud unclean. Yesterday Cas-.

more incipient Mormons. They sailed
from Liverpool on the Wyoming in care
Of Mr.. Neyins, proseliiing Mormon,
who goes over every year TO bnng back

'Are you Mormon convertY
No, sir. i came with Mr.. Nevins, the
Mormon agent because he paid half OF

we can ears money enough to come east

So found the question Of the Mormon
religion did not once enter into the
minds Of any OF these emigrants They
came to America because their passages
were half paid.
When asked the Irishman why he
clme with the Mormons, he said: :fal
The half o me passage was paid, 90

about the beauties of Utah. We co no,

Salt Lake; we preach good, square Bible

His reply reminded me of fact ire
quently noticed two years ago in listen
ling to Brigham Young and other preach
ers in the Salt Lake Mormon temple.
| That fact was that the Mormons simply
preached good old Methodist doctrine
| They have their prayers, hymns anG
sermons, and uhless you were told, you
would take the Mormon service for the
ordinary service of the Methodist church
SECOND ADvENTIsM. aI
Next Monday, through the enterprise
OF young Stephen TyRg, there is to be {
great conference in New York to susiaif
| the doctrine Of Second Aavenlism or tb,
second coming of Christ. The confer

The Tyngs are old fashioned Low
Churchmen, and they say that they stcl

Yestarday | asked Mr.. Tying on what
passages in the Bible he founded The
evidence that Christ would reappear Oh

Why, there are over 500 texts sus
tanning the b lief that Christ will com,
again. said Mr.. Tying, while the doc
lrlDe OF baptism is based on only twelve
Bible passages Second Advent used t,
be part Of our creed We must 90 bacl
10 it again. Mr.. Moody believes the doc
trine to be true, aud he will be with Vi

Year sfter year, continued Mr.. Tying
the Church is changing Our youn.
preachers, many Of them have ceased tC
beheve that Christ will come again, Tn,
tact is. we must have great religiou
awakening and we must all 20 back lit
the religion OF our fathers again. b.
and by we'll be giving up the doctrine
OF baptism aud reI enhance and rtmis

HIGH cHURcHlsM IN NEW YORK
Dr. Tyrg is opposed to High Church
ism He calls it "Csndleism," and b.
says he hates this ritualistic "kerosen
religion" as Satan hates virtue. 3I
The Ritualisls in New York are boil
aud untiring. They have all torn ou
their pnlpits, and the clergy now WORSHIP
with their backs to the audience beior,
high altars covered with candles, afte
the Catholic fashion. In word, th
Low Church people run to high pulpils
, while the High Church people run to 10,
pulpits and high altsrs The Low Churcl
people accuse the High Church people o
worshiping candles and pictures, whil
the High Church people charge the Loy
Church people With worshiping a pulpi
with a man in it.

Father Morell, of ST. AIbans; Fatht
