Chicago has q Mormon church, founded by
the followers OF the original Joseph Smith. but
1t does not countenance polygamy, and claims
that the following passage was in the unmu-
tilated Book of Mormon: "Wherefore, my
brethren, hear me-, and hsarksn to the words
Of the Lord: for there shall not any man among
you have save it be one wife, and cencublnes
he shall have none. for I, the Lord God. de-
lightsth In the chastity of womsn.' The
sooner the Utah Mormons get that passage re-
inserted in their bible the better it will be for
hem as Mornons.

placed by lions Herald at two to one IN favor
of the women, and the ssme paper also makes
the following rather startling statement: '.If
We were to take the churches right through the

than one-tenth Of their members are men In the
prime sflife. The other nIne-tenths are women.
mon who have passed their meridian, and
youths who have not reached their maturity, It

How many christian people In Lsfa yette
county are aware. Of the fact that we have a
society known As the Lafayette County Bible
Society, an auxiliary to the American Bible

this society. which Is TO promote the circulation
Of the bible without note or N 1t has
been nearly twelve yesrs since the county society
had q colporteur Or distributor engaged IN the
active work Of visiting the household in the
county. Is it not the duty of the christian peo-
pie Of the county to see that there ia not a
family In the county without the bible II thew
