The Mormons yesterday afternoon opened
the exercises with singing a hymn, com
mencing, ''Do what is right" then one of
the elders knelt and read a prayer, his
brethren meanwhile sitting on chairs with
their heads bowed. Having sung another
hymn youthful saint" stepped to the
front of the stage and delivered a long
windedl rigmarole, going back to
antediluvian days and ending about
the end of the world. What he was driving
at no GENTLE could well find out. While
the reporter was present he touched upon
nothing that would interest the readers of
the secular press. The slim number who
attended grew smaller by degrees and
beautifully less and were convinced that
the youthful saint had lost his vocation as
missionary to make proselytes to Nor
monism.
