The last issue of the Grunge Visitor
contains very interesting letter writ
ten by one of the Paw Paw excursion
lists, from which we clip the following:
AT Salt Lake City we were shown the
good points of mormonism. 1t is Il
beautiful mountain city, with plenty of
pure air and water. The people boast
of the fact that their city and temple
have been built entirely by themselves
We feel more respect for Brigham, after
seeing the work he has accomplished
The man who could plan and build
temple capable of seating IL, 200 people,
and with such acoustic properties that
a whisper, the rubbing together of
hands or the dropping of pin can be
distinctly heard in the remOteSt part,
must have been n man of genius second
To none in this age. Still, we venture
to predict that in fifty years mOrmonism
will be thing of the past, except rs a
show to entice the ducats from the
passing traveller"
