We notice from some Of our ex-
changes that Mormon Missionaries
have invaded Mississippi and are
actively engaged in the propagation
Of their peculiar doctrine, but VIC
were not aware until very recently
tha. one Of The Latter Day Saints
had temporarily located near us.
The following communication will
serve to show IN a measure what this
disciple Of Joe Smith is doing
LEE COUNTY, Miss, June q, 81.
Ar. EditOr-The Pleasant Grove
(Melhodist) and Pontocola { (Bsptist)
neighborhoods have had quite q sen.
satlon for the past month in the way
Of a Mormon Missionary whose pecu.
liar doctrine has attracted large and
attentive audiences. Your cores
pondent has heard him on six occa-
sions and CLEAN the following points
from his sermon:
lsL He endorsesthe Old and New
Testament as the word Of God as
revealed up 10 the days OF Christ and
the Apostles and gives them their
most literal construction, and claims
That by the exercise Of faith any OF
Tue miracles performed by Christ and
the Apostles can be repeated now.
2nd. That Baptism is essential to
salvation, and that the Holy Ghost is
impaired in the act OF after Baptism
only And 2rdly, That the laying on
OF hands is as essential now as when
practiced By the Apostles, and should
be Kept In practice. He denies being
q aBflghamite, is opposed to polygamy,
dlsciaimlng any connection with the
brigham Young OF Utah Mormons,
claims 10 be a representative OF the
original Joe Smith church, endorses
the revelation made to Joe Smith or
"the book Of Mormons," and claims
10 have better testimony corrobora-
ting its divinity than we have for the
Bible. When pressed by your cor
respondent tor an ocular demopstra-
tion Of power 20 perform miracles,
replied by saying, that "a wicked and
perverse generation sought for
sign, &c" He claims to be an
Alabamian by birth and education,
is comparatively uneducated, but has
q gift ofeloquence equalej by but few
men, aud is a close Bible student.
In conclusion, on last Sabbath
evening be made the singularprophe-
cy "that God had drawn his sword
in vengeance, and that this genera
ton would witness the fulallment Of
the Scriptures and the end OF time, !"
ard added "that as God made all
nation OF one blood all would return
to their first color white, J the Negro,
the Indian and ell the lower species
OF men.
This, Mr. Editor, is brief state
ment Of the peculiar doctrine Of this
peculiar man. or course the people
are divided as to the correctness OF
bis theory. Objection has been made
to his continuing further service in
The above named churches, and
preparation is being made to build an
arbor In each neighborhood So you
see the end is not yet

RATES OF


Editor kegister-In q few months
We shall celebrate the centennial anni-
versary Of Corvallis surrender at
yorktown. This event took place
October 10Th, 1881, and the nrst
news Of Il was received in London
on Sunday, November 25th, at noon,
81 days after. Contrast this with
the time occupied in transmitting the
result Of the late Derby race across
the ocean 10 the New York Evening
Ielegram-6ve seconds.
II may be interesting to know how
the news OF the surrender was re-
ceived. It was sent to Lord George
German, Secretary for American
Affairs, snd be 81 once communicated
il 70 the Premier, Lord North.
"HoW did he receive it9n asked
Wraxall. "As be would have taken
q ball In his breast,p replied Lord
George. "FOr be opened his arms,
exclaiming wildly, as be paced up and
down the room during few minutes,
% God, Il Is ell over Words which
be repeated many times under emo :
tions Of deepest CONSERVATION and
distress"
viii the next hundred years be as
prOlihc IN great events and discove-
ries As the past have beenS To say
nothing Of the events, which would
occupy volumes, We may allude briefly
to aome OF the more important dis
coveries. Among the first Of these
is the motive power Of steam with its
countless applications on land, rivers,
lakes and oceans The railroad,
binding together with its network
every part Of our vast continent.
The telegraph, transmitting intelli-
gence with lightning speed even over
the "Oceano dissociabils" Of Horace.
The telephone, making one vast whis-
perlng gallery Of a whole continent.
The daguerreotype, perfected in the
photograph, making the sun our
painter The phonograph, recording
and transmitting TO remote posterity
the very tones Of our voices The
illumination OF our cities and houses
By gas, soon TO be superseded BY the
electric light. The manufacture Of
Ice as cheaply a. nature can furnish
Il, and without regard TO seasons or
climate. The discovery Of fertilizers
which makes two blades Of grass, or
two bales Of cotton, grow where only
one grew before. The Bessemer
process by which steel can be made
as cheap as iron, II not cheaper. The
driving Of tunnels through mountains
and uuder rivers. The discovery Of
an@stheties, which have done so
much for suffering humanity. The
flint, steel and finder box laid aside
for the infinitely more convenient and
cheaper matches, etc. We hardly
know where to stop. It would seem
as IL scarcely anything more remained
to be discovered, and yet the future
is perhaps as rich in its realities.
Among these probabilities, We may
reckon the more extended application
Of electricity to illumination, and as
6 motive power to displace steam.
The sun may furnish us the heat nee
essAry for heating, cooking and dis
tillalion, and perhaps the next great
discovery may enable as to rival
the birds in their aerial flight Who

DOUBTs


There is large class Of people
who hold hopeful attitude toward
Christianity, that is they reverence
It, and in the depths Of their souls
they are conscious Of unsstisfied
yearnings for truth and piety. But
they are troubled by doubt. In quie,
moments they ponder solemnly the
question Of religion but again they
wrestle in agony with the doubts
which darken their minds aud chill
their hopes. Often 3 peculiar med
esty prevents such people frem tell
ing the state Of their heart to others,
and consequently they are isolated
from the warm Christian sympathies
which are 30 helpful 10 struggling
souls. To such we would Be glad 10
say few helpful words. We have re.
Gently read an article on thissubiect in
which three suggestions we're offered /:
l. Let the dOubter seek the bes,
religious associations. There are
some consistent Christians 10 whom
be can 60 for light and comfort.
Such Christians have an experience
that will do the doubter more good
than whole libraries Of ane spun
theories. They make an atmosphere
warm With Heavenly life, and stimu-
late every holy desire and purpose.
2. Let the doubter seek the best
religious reading. The Bible Is the
beat. II is light to the path, 3 lamp
to the feet Of all that are willing to
walk in the path Of duty. Other
books may be read with profit but
there is no book so good as The Book
Of books 1t is It's own interpreter,
aud will prove q living spring to The
thlrsting soul. Il will search the
heart and sh0R il the truth.
3. Let the doubter pray. This IL
the attitude ofhim who would receive
the blessing; aud be who prays most
will have the most faith the divine
promises. Before any man can come
to God be must castoii pride. Before
any man can enter in at the strait gate
he must be willing to bow low before
the mercy seat in prayer. Take your
doubts to God. The very act OF the
will in making that movement win
strengthen your faith. Gods prom
ises have never failed, and ell you
have to do Is to trust him. "DraW
nigh unto God and He win draw nigh
unto you" In Him is no darkness
at all, and in His light the praying
soul will see light. Every soul that
turns to Him Is filled with HE love,
and can no more doubt His goodness
than you can doubt that the sun
shines when be pours his brightest
rays upon you Every one that asks
receives, and he that seeks will dnd.
