MORMON MISSIONARIES.
People Whose Homes They Have
Broken Up Wreaking Nengence.


Mormon Elders have been doing some
effective missionary work In and around
Wheeling, w. Va, for some time past,
ana effects are beginning to be felt In a
serious way. So critical is the situation
in some sections that serious trouble is
brewing In Wheeling there Is to be
found u congregation of saints" with
u church building OF their own, in which
rsguiar services arc held. The converts
made there have been mostly women,
and some of them have been exported to
Utah IL Ia in the counties of Ritchic,
Calhoun, Grant and Pondlcton, that the
elders, or "missionuries" as they call
themselves, are working in the boldest
manner. They have made an astonish-
ing mum bcr of converts, and scores of
families have been broken up in conse-
quencc. Cases are numerous where en-
tire families have renounced their for
mer faith and united with the Mormon
church. More numerous, showever, are
the case where family ties have been
broken, where wives have deserted hus-
bands, and husbands wives, TO cast their
lots with the Mormoms Many young
girls have been induced to leave their
homes to go to Utah.

The Day of Rest.
lCharlos Worcester Clarke, in Atlant
Moutaly.

Mouthly.
While the object of the Sunday laws of
our fathers was to protect the Lord day
from deSoCration, with us their justtiCa-
ton must be the protection OF each in
diViduai in his right to his regular recur-
ring day of rest. Yet the laws which we
use and abuse to-day are the mutiluted
remnants of those ofold; and it is partly
because it was the ecclesiastical rather
than the humane spirit that directed
their composition and has resisted their
modification, partly because the rcla-
tions ol man to man have been so vastly
changed during the past hundred years,
that revision In new spirit, on new
principles, is needed Neither must
their revision he made in the care
less, unconsciously selfish spirit
that has modified or ignored the laws in
the past. In insisting ON liberty of ac-
ton as well as circumstance, we overlook
the fact that our mannC: of using our
Sunday freedom often depriyeS others of
theirs A hundred years ago, or even
fifty years ago there was little danger of
this. Then nearly every man was his
own master, and could work or not on
Sunday, as he pleased. In our present
social system, the employed are the null
titude, the employers the few. The en-
largoment and concentration of industry
have reduced to small proportion of
the whole community the number OF
those who can decide the question of
Sunday labor for themselves. In this
way it has naturally come about that
the avarice oil employers combined with
the seltishness oi the public has been
gradually depriving more and more of
the workers, and often the hardest work.
ers, of their rest-day. If our Sunday
then, is to be preserved, it must have
the protection of the law. Yet expert
once has shown clearly enough that law
avails little without the support OF pub
lie sentiment. That the great majority
of the American people do appreciate
their day of rest, and desire to protect it,
] think, beyond dispute. The petition
lately presented to congress, known as
the "fourteen-million. petition though
il had by no means that number of ac-
tual signers, probably represented the
sentiments of almost every one of those
whose delegates or representatives signed
il for them, as well rs of those who per-
sonally affixed their names. The main
support of this petition was from the
churches and the working classes ,
notably from those who, like the loco
motive engineers, pray for the restora-
ton OF Sunday already lost. The
strongest support, too, came from those
parts of the country where the greatest
encroachments have already been made
on the true liberty of the day.

The Grand Army of the Republic is
tremendous power, u glowing reality

rights of the Union veterans whose fear

Warner was yesterday. Congress will
give the most serious attention to his
plea, when he says:
