spifltually, meeting with splendid
i receptions, opening their balls and
"whare.karakia" (meeting house) g.
| US, and attending In large numbers TO
hear the pfinciples, doctrines, etc.,
the LAtief-day Baiats expoundsd unto

Kalap9i Ia MAORI psh which has an
-vcutful history OF iiseli), = certain
! European minister who had evidently
nsver had tho privilege OF meeting a
| Mormon Elder, came To lisisn TO the
! Discourse ~ Elder Gardner. At the
close Of tho meeting privilege was
| given all 10 nat questions u they de.

requested that he DO SLOWED 10 address
his "Own congregation" even the
one which had gathered To-
gether 10 listen TO Elder Gardner.
Ito was permitted 10 do 90; and after
tTyIrg In his supposed superior knowl-

thst the Book OF Mormon was
wilton by womsn, aud purchased
by Joseph Smith for tho soils purpose
OF mOncy-making; tbs old, old Illusion

hearers what q blot II was upon the
baauti iully framoi Consultation Of ths
Unito1 5Istes; tho Intermediates Of the
Bible when compared with tho Greek
translation, (yet he himself hal been
and was teaching irom King Jamesa

tnat Jeaun condemned polygsmy when
lie was upon tho earth; ufon being
Kske1 for chapter anu worse, he could
not furnish came, thus suffering au-
other defoat. He eventually had TO
leave, orsstiallen Indeed, leaving the
humble Elder master VI tho situation,
who turned and gave unto God all ths
