THE ORIGIN OF MORMONlSM

Editor Fairfield Herald and News:
As much interest has attached
to the Mormon question of late.
and many comments rejecting
upon the good name of the people
of tins county have been published
in the papers throughout the
country, | beg that you will pub
liSh the following sketch of the
origin and spread of Mormonism
taken from the Encyclopaedia
Britannica a-rccognizcd as standard
authority on all subjects.
The Mormons or the Church of
Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints
arc religious sect founded bv
Joseph Smith ut Manchester, New
York, in 1890, and for the last
thirty-siN years settled in salt
Lake City, territory of Utah.
Smith was born on the 23rd De-
c"mbcr, 1905, at Sharon, Wind
sor County, w., whence ten
years later his parents, poor,
ignorant, tnriftIrss, and not too
honest couple, removed To New
York, where they settled on 4
small farm near Palmyra. in
Wayne County. Four years la
ter, in $500. they removed to
Manchester, six miles off. and
from this place, when fifteen
years old, Joseph began to have
his visions, in one of winch on the
night of the DIST September.
1923, the angel Mo, oni appeared
to him three times, and told him
that the Bible of the Western
Continent, the supplement to the
New Testament, was buried in
certain spot near Manchester.
-Four years later and after due
disciplinary probation, Smith
went to the spot and had delivered
into his charge by an angel of the
Lord Il stone box, in which was

and fastened together by three
gold rings. The plates were coy
cred by smaI! writing in the rr.
formed Egyptian tongue and were
accompanied by pair of super
natural spectacIcs, consisting of
two crystals set in silver bow.
and called Uaim and Thummina:
by ald of these, the mystic charac-
! tcrS could be read. Being unable
to read or write huentlv, Smith
employed aS clerk one Oliver
Cowdcry, to whom from behind Il
curtain he dictated n translation.
which with the aid of a farmer,
Martin Harris, who had more
money than wit, was published in
1880 under the title of the Book
of Mormon, and accompanied by
the sworn statement of Oliver
Cowdery, David Whitmer and
Martin Harris that an angel of
God had shown them the plates
of which this book was trans
latiOn. This testimony, all three
of them, on renouncrng Mormon
ism some years later denounced
as false, but in the meantime it
helped Smith to impose on the
credulous, especially, as the gold
plates had disappeared mysteri.

called on him to-day in the interest OF

and all the New England Republicans in
Congress. He was twice the diplomatic
representative of the United States at
Stockholm, married Swedish woman
and speaks the language of the country
large number of Swedes in the United
States endorsed his candidacy.
1t is said that Speaker Reed has en-
dorsed but three men for places within
the gift of the President and that he will
ask for no more. His signature to an
application is considered to be practically

believed that President Mckinley wilLao

THE COSMORAMA.
Spectacular Performance For the
Benefit Of Calvary Church.

The Cosmorama is now thing of the
past. 1t was seen and enjoyed by large
crowd last night at the Academy of
Music. 1t was in reality "a sight of the
world. }" as the name implies. The only
trouble was it had no men; and.swho
would want to see world that had no
men! OF course the ladies''wouldn't.
The whole entertainment was decided
ly novel and new. True, it was pro-
duced in Paris in 1911; but as history re-
peats itself, Roanoke has it in 1s97-oniy
trifie late, that's all
1t was, perhaps, the most successful
church entertainment ever given I'm our
city. The Calvary Baptist Church has
reason to be proud of it's success. OF
course it's all right for churches to give
gigantic performances in these latter
days. The .Cosmorama is certainly a
gigantic performance. There were eighty
people on the stage, all used as an at.
tractive advertising aggregation.
At S:45 the curtain rose and eight little
girls came on, lightly tripping to the
music of John Browns Body" Little
Miss Hart brought dawn the house by
reason of her easy and graceful manner.
Then followed in succession eighty repre-
sensations of different firms in the city,
interspersed with living pictures. The
costumes were all brilliant, handsome
and unique.
Wah Lee, the Chinese laundryman, won
the first applause. Bowman g. Son were
the next to bring down the house. The
Nottingham Coal Company was also
quite realistic. Markely, the meat man,
and his live pig that squealed, was
among the best. Miss Georgia Roberts, for
j. S. Shaner, the blacksmith, was excel
lent in her makeup, as wen as in her
acting. The horse was shod in quite n
lifc-like manner, although she did hit
herself on the finger while hammering
the shoe. Others worthy of mention
were the Palais Royal, Stone Printing
Company, Roanoke Cycle Company,
Horton .S Roberts, Engleby Bros, Edw.
8 Green with the Columbia Wheel Com
pany, Edw. S. Green, icweler, Ro. NJ.
Kent, the insurance man.
The performance concluded with "a
march by all. 1t was very beautiful and
we'll executed, reminding one of large
Roanoke german.
Thus enLed one of the most unique
church entertainments of the year. 1t
was advertising and art combined. The
art was in the advertising. Everybody
the church. the promoter, tho girls and
the firms-was extensively, beautifully
and cosmoramically advertised
