THE STATE.
A Bad Bishop.

Ever since the death. in France a month
ago, of Bishop ID. ID. Paterson OF Grand
Rapids, of the little sect known as 1.-The
Children of Zion, scandalous stories have
been afioat regarding his relations TO Mary
Hawley, woman of his flock, who was
designated as 'the handmade Of Christ"
When the Bishop left Grand Rapids two
years ago Mary Joined him In New York
and accompanied him on his European
travels until his death. 4 child was born
20 them, and when Elder Spencer of Grand
Rapids visited the bishop in Scotland and
became acquainted with all the facts, he
deposed Bishop Paterson, RELOCATING him 10
private lie.
Since the bishops death the story has
been spreading, and at last the church
leaders have been compelled 20 take notice
of il. After frequently considering the
subject. an address has becl issued TO the
public signed by Elders John Paterson
twho is brother of the dead bishop,
David Spencer and ID. r.. Revell, saying
they had felt every confidence in Bishop
Paterson and could not believe the rumors
of wrong until they had complete evidence
that evil existed They have investigated
and discovered the shameful truth and now
clear themselves and wish the public To
know they uphold no evil
Henceforth all meetings Of these Chill
dren Of Zion Will be open TO the public, and
the mysterious secret rites established by
the bishop Will be abolished.
