remarks $50 far as my heart and feelings are
concerned. This is a grand country, but we need
never expect to take the world for Christ before
we take our own home sfor Christ. You have
| cities with thousands of heathens in them. Be-

found Mormons in Philadelphia last fall with a
| mission in that city. When you know the Nor
mon is hostile to this government, that he would
| destroy its peace you may well consider this
| field to work in. No man becomes truly loyal
citizen until he is under the influence of Chris
| tianity.
1.-THE Home Missionary Society is doing good
WORK In Utah. Five teachers and two women
| missionaries are supported there. These women
| go from house to house, and talk to the women
of Utah. Several schools have been started by
the Woman's Home Missionary Society One
school IN Salt Lake. with one teacler, has ninety
| one pupils all out of Mormon families. AT
| Mount Pleasant one teacher has seventy pupils,
some or them young men and women, twenty to
! twenty-five or twenty-three years old, who
could neither read nor write. In school built
| with 5000 given by lady of Delaware, O., there
| are forty five pupils. one of them a man eighty
two years old l thank God this money was put
| in the right place If we get through with
Mormonism in the United States it will be
largely through the efforts of the Womans Mis-
slonary Society There still hundred
places in Utah that ought to have help for the
salvation of that beautiful Territory. Now is
| the critical time when the church should exert
itself to go in and help Utah. The government
is helping US, and if we do not go now
the people may lapse into inidelity.
About hundred of the leading Mormons
| have been punished, and the great ones of
their church are hiding from justice. One
| apostle the very rascal who went to Scandna-
| via and deceived the people there betraying
| them to come to Utah, has been imprisoned for
| twelve months and fined 81, 800 These Grim
inals are afraid Of the strong arm of the law
now reaching out after them. The present ad
ministration committed a grievous mistake
when it removed Governor Murray, the noblest
| soul that Utah ever had as an officer No
| money could buy him-neither could the Nor
| mon women He did his duty, and largely to
| him the present results and the Christian work
in Utah are due. Five years ago it was not
! possible to get jury in Utah to convict
| Mormon. There is better sentiment now.

only to open our eyes to see we have only to |

Nation has said that intelligence and virtue are
the safeguards of the Republic. Two of the |
greatest evils that bsfan republic like ours
are vicious intelligence and an ignorant virtue |
But If we must have either of these let us have
virtue without intelligence rather than intelli- |
