Latter-day Saints of Jesus Christ"
preached here yesterday on "The Dan
ties" The Mormons have been holding
services here for several weeks with the
view to organizing church, and this was
Elder Forscutt's seventh sermon. He
alluded to the charge which was voiced
in the play running at McVicker's
Theatre, that the Mormons had a society
known as the Dauites. He was a Nor
mon, had lived in Utah and knew of the
Danites; that such society existed was
incontrovertible, but he could not held
the Mormon Church responsible for the
crimes the order had undoubtedly COM
mitted. He took a very liberal view of
Mormonism; denied that Mormons were
polygamists in Nauvoo, or that Joseph
Smith taught pOlygamy. Po'ygamy was
not q part of Mormonism, and there had
been time when those who prscticed it
had been punished therefor by the Nor
mons themselves He closed by asking
the hearers when they heard attacks on
the Mormon Church to distinguish be-
tween the Reorgsnized Church of Latter
day Saints of Jesus Christ, of which he
was q member, and the Utah faction.
