Work for the Omcers.

In densely settled section Of his
county netarious aud iniquilons
species of worshippers pay their dc
votions To deity under the minis
trations of Mormon elder. who las
converted little band and they are
now ilonrishing under the euphon
ious title of Latter Day Saints Thcy
are located in the country some lit
tie distance above Hagcdorn's mill
and hold their meetings without op.
position from christian people or in
terposition of those whose duty it is
to execute the laws.
They are quiet and disturb 10 one
and claim to be peaceful, which they
very probably are, hut it is hut
!ul to the morality of all settlers 10
have the Brigham Young creed ex-
posed and preached to people who
have no argument to the contrary
and who soon fall victims to the
suave elder. Great restrictions of
secrecy are laid on each convert and
the only thing that can he learned
is that the elder is on the ground and
has succeeded in gathering together
quite following.
These Monongalia converts do not,
Of course, practice polygamy, as they
have not as yet attained a sufficient
sanctiication to be allowed more
than one wife, but they are being
constantly urged to forsake this law
abiding communit, and depart for
the haven Of unadulterated mormon
ism. Utah. There amongst all the
saints and elders their spiritual
wants will all be supplied, and they
can see the light Of righteousness
there rs it is to be seen no place else.
Such persuasion is sure To have its
effect on many Of those who would
otherwise he good citizens, though
we are glad to state that rs yet no
convert has left the rustic prccints
of his native heath. No one has
gone, but many may 90 il this sect
of Latter Day Saints is not broken
up.
1t is true that those who take
kindly to The new creed are ignor-
ant, deIudcd people, but we should
all see that the ignorant rs well up
the intelligent are protected from an
unjust preparations. 1t has been
no secret for many weeks that these
Latter Day Saints exist in this coun-
ty, under the very noses of the ofiic-
ers do they flourish and.still the evil
work is allowed to proceed. The
thing now TO do is to summarily dis
pose of the Mormon elder, and il will
be found that Latter Day Saintism
has not foothold enough to flourish
without his ministrations. 1t ia blot
on Monongalia's fair name to have
such creed preached in our limits
and we hope to be able to chronicle
some good work of the officers in this
connection.
