MORMON REFORM.
Joseph Smith, Son of the Prophet, and the
PolygamOus Brethren.

Salt Lake Correspondence st. Louis Pos T. Dispatch
Since the polygamous Mormons became con-
WINGED that the present prosecutions were not to
be laughed off or lodged, there has been gen
eral advance Of the lines of those worthy people
who have long been fighting the evil by moral
suasion. The Christian missions are unusually
busy and several Josephite elders are here
preaching in the interest of reform and return
to the original ways of the church. Much inter
est has been taken in those meetings, particularly
among the Josephites, and il is expected that
great good will be accomplished, and bring them
to the idea Of Mormonism which Joseph Smith,
1.-The martyr taught-that is nothing but a sup
plement to christianity-and they have always
been the inveterate foes of the Brighamites or
polygamists The JoSephiteS are scattered through
the Mississippi valley and are very goodly peo-
pie, who grieve in spirit over the degeneraey
of their polycamous brethren in Utah The an
nouncement that Joseph Smith. a son of the
prophet, whom Mormons of every description
hold dear, would preach here, was received with
great interest and every time that he has
spoken he has been greeted by large audiences
made UP of Josephites, Gentiles, Utah Mormons
and SAINTS. The burden of his remarks has
been that Israel is scattered and that there
must be some great underlying He has
shown that in fifteen years after the discovery of
the Book of Mormon there were more than
20O,O0O converts, and now, he says, fifty years
later, there are not that many members of the
church. After explaining the hardships which
the brethren had suffered, he declared it
to be his opinion that no improvement in the
situation of affairs could be expected unless
Israel should return to the law. Reading
freely from the Bible and from the Book of Nor
mon, and drawing comparisons between the con
dltlon OF the people now and that of Israel when
it had offended he has argued that no one could
deny the truth of his assertion that the brethren
had wandered away after false prophets, and
that there was no nope save in their Immediate
repentance and submission TO the will of God
As some of the Utah Mormons, knowing the
Josephites were coming had warned their fiocks
to beware of the wolf Joseph Smith criticised
them for their lack of charity and fair dealing
and reproached them for their fondness for de-
ception. In reply to the charge that he was sec
tartan, he declared that he had rather be
sectarian and right, than unsectarian and wrong.
and when he denied that he was sectarian he
said that in 1860 when he began his ministry.
there were thirteen different sects claiming to be
the original Mormons, whereas there were now
but two, Brighamites and Josephites. He had
united ali tho non-polygamlsts together,
and they were prospecting abrndantly. Be-
sides, quoting from the Bible and the Book of
Mormon to show that the Brighamites were
wrong, Mr. Smith read law to the people and
