TIE BEAUTIES OF GLEN ISLAND.
LAST YEARS SCENES RECALLED-ruE PROMISE OF
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON,
II was the opening Sunday at Glen Island
yesterday aud about $500 people went to that resort
The steamers Laura NJ starin and other starns made
frequent trips to and from the sland, and carried
a crowd OF all earths nations each time
Everything was prety much as IL was last
year. There the same old band
on the steamer playing tue same old tunes and there
the irrepressbls lemondrop man dealing out sam
pies OF his with pair OF sugar tongs as II he had
been doing II all the winter At the Island, too every
thing had taken on the appearance II had year
ago and except that the paint the buildings was
little fresher and the grass little greener than
when the place was closed last fall iG might have
been thought that time had obeyed the ott-repeated
command 10 turn backward" and that II was the year

only 70 lind that, too, pitched too high These
bells have been doing this sort OF thing ever
since they put up. They start out
boldly on tune aud get through the first two or three
bars all right Then there comes note that they cannot
reach and thoy are forced to try something else. And
so they go yearnng after the uuattanabie year after
wear aud never getting any nearer the goal.
The Sound was very beautiful yesterday. Winds
and waves were asleep and yachts and
cntboats with dropping sails moved with scarcely per
ceptipe motion tho CLASSY surface The little steam
launches went cavOrtng around tho island as their
won't and the people in them leaned back on the
cushions and looked ~ the crowd on the shores as II
they kept half dozen steam-yachts and rode ia them
every uay. 80, ,,, c..,--
some changes ha ,Oeen made at the island Stairs

have been built and bridges supplied with ralinSs ana

People who are not disturbed by the
advance Of Mormonism are calling
attention to the fact that, according
to the rec ntly published statistics oil
the Mormon church, the whole mem
bership in Utah is less than 10000
They contend that IN proportion TO
the M mbesship Of tho respectable
churches this is so small that nobody
need worry about it Truly, in com
parison with the 100000 Presbyteri
ans, he 100000 Baptists, or the O.
100000 Methodists Of the country, the
Mormon membership seems small IL
may amount in the whole country to
about 100000, counting the 1000 in
Arizona, the 1000 in Idaho and the
other Thousands scattered throughout
the various States and Territories
But it must be remembered that the
Normons are at least fifty times as en-.
ergetic 10 gathering new members and
reaching out for converts as are the
most industrious of the orthodox
churches, The Mormon church
is most extensively ofhc
cred. One person in every
six and half is church official OF
some sort or other. There are seven
grades Of officers ranging all ;he way
from dcacons to apostles. Every officer
is busily at work Tor the spread Of his
religion and the increase Of the mem
barship Of his church. EightysOI
m Missionaries have recently set out on
their tours. some in this country and
some ia Europe. Evangelists and mis-
sionaries Of other persuasions are sat.
isfed to hold revival meetings and
come away when they think they have
made a general impression on a vast
crowd OF excited sinners. The Nor
mons do not carry on their work 10
this wy When they think they see
possible convert biting at their bait
hey hook him. Then they pr OK him
away in their ecclesiastical fish basL G
and take him home with them. Thus
new Mormons are arriving from Eu-
rope by the hundred every mon h, and
are shipped to headquarters IN rival
No such conversions are added to the
ranks Of Presbyierians, Method SIS, or
any Of the other respectable religious
bodies. If the theirs W Mt t, hold
their own against the increase Of Nor
monism, they should be awake and
busy
