A SOLUTION OF THE MORMON PROBLEM.
by JOHN GOODMAN. q. Putnnm's Sons, New
York, publishers.
Mr.. John Goldman regards that sect Of
Mormonism which Is headed by Joseph
Smith, and which does not preach
polygamy, to be in no wise different in
its religious belief to tho teachings of
Christianity. This sect numbers about
$4,000, and should be aided in their
attempt TO evangelizc. They are striving
to bring back the church to its original
purity. Mr.. Goldman further believes
that several hundred missionaries sent
to Utah would accomplish results unat-
tainable by all the severe measures which
our government can inilict.
