There is good deal of suggestion and
instruction to be found in an examin-
alton of the sources from which the
Mormon supply comes. The great body
of Mormons come from England, Scot
land, Wales, Denmark, Sweden, and
Norway. England has supplied in
round numbers, 10000 of them Scotland,
$500; Wales, 2,4OO; Sweden, $3.50; Den
mark, 1871; Norway, 1900; Ireland,
1900. About the character of this Brit
ish and Danish contribution there is
very little doubt both the men and the
women belong to a low, ignorant peasant
class. The same thing is true, Though
probably in less degree, of the Scan
dinavian contribution.
