Foul of the Mediums

LAMoRI, Iowa. April 14.-Yesterday's
services Of the Latter-day Saints Conference
were conducted by Elder c. r. Duncan Of
Blue Rapids. Kans. His sermon was an

Christ; it recognizes no clearly defined
Supreme Being; it does not develop its de-
voices TO higher plane Of morality. and
operates through them just as well when
they are corrupt as when they are pure, and
its prophecies are not fulfilled. In proof Of
the last proposition the speaker cited the
utterances of j. R. buchanan in the Arena
of July of 1891. in which he prophesiod that
Queen Victoria, Pops Leo and The Gar
Alexander would all be dead by this time.
