MISS wEBsrEn's DEFENSE.

In the daily News" OF the 9Th Inst.
counted and rcfuted false and SANDER
Gus statements alleged to have been
made at the expense of the Mormon
people, by Miss Rose Glen Webster, at
a meeting in a private residence in
indianapolis. Miss Webster has been
laboring in Provo, Utah. in connection
with the Baptist mission there, and a
referred to was furnished to the
News" by Elder Fred i. Brook,
Mormon missionary. whose home is in
this city, and who was present.
Today Rev, Mr., steelman of the Bap
fist church in this city, and Rev. DR..
Wishard of the Presbyterian church, a
missionary worker, called at this office
in behalf OF Miss Webster. and ten
dered for publication in the News" two
atfidavits, one signed by her and both
by several other persons present at the
meeting reported BY Elder Brook. One
of these afIiduvits alleges that Elder
Brook, for the purpose of gaining adj
mission to the meeting, represented
himself as a reporter of the Christian
Recorder. periodical which he said
was published In Chicago, whereas no
such publication is known in that city.
This affidavit is evidently intended to
impeach Elder Brooks veracity and
honor.
The other sworn statement takes up,
seriatim, a number of statements at
! tTihuted to Miss Webster, and specific
ally denies that she made them It
also gives a series Of statements which
she did make, In reference to the
Mormons, and Is signed by several of
her auditors but not by herself.
The review OF Miss Webster's al
| legged utteranees, as reported by Elder
Brook, did not appear in the
News" until his account of them had
been corroboratcd from other sources,
and as the case stands there is seri-
Gus conflict in the evidence. The
News" is perfectly willing to do full
! justice to Miss Webster. but in an at
tempt to do this does not wish to do
injustice to Elder Brook, nor any other
source OF information. Therefore,
pending further steps to clear up the
matter and TO learn the facts neces-
sary to the placing of all concerned In
true light, the publication OF the
afdavits will he deferred, with the
understanding that full Justice to all
Interested win be meted out as soon as
the News" is in aNpositlon TO do 1t.

with their religious belief. and at the
same time remain In the country loyal
to their sovereign and perhaps better

quently become more useful subjects

il Is in full accord with the views
OF the Saints. to establish gathering

word of the Lord shall go forth from

Probably the time for the accomplish

future, unless indeed 1t is consistent
with the plans OF the Almighty TO in
tervene in a special way before long
and hasten the latter-day work on.
But the mission of Elder a. II. Lund.
nm Apostle of Jesus Christ, may be
looked upon as one of the stages in
the great work of gathering Israel and
Judah and the coming restoration to
prominence of the country where once
dwelt the glory OF the Lord. and where
the Son OF God lived and died. For
this reason the Saints feel deep in
terest in his mission and win surely
follow him and his labors in those dis
tant parts of the world with prayers
for his success and the welfare of the
Saints whom he may visit.
