AN AWFUL POSSIBILITY.
After fruitless missionary work in
many Of the nearby towns two Mormon
elders have returned to the land OF
their fathers" and according to news
paper reports are meeting with good
success. Susquehanna is now head
quarters for the two apostles of the
Latter Day Saints. Here it was that
Joseph Smith was "called of God to
call men to repentance" and the first
recruits of that particular sect were
mustered in from the village of hills
and wood steps. Whitney writes so ell
oquently against the Mormon elders
that we infer he wishes to get rid OF
the "pesky" fellows before he falls a
victim to their seductive wiles. He
doubts his own resisting power If put
to the test. Whit" with a dozen
wives, Just think of it!-Forest City
