Rev. Mr.. Hawkes., who preached in the
Congregational church last Sunday, took
"Mormonism" for his evening subject, by
request. Mr.. Hawkes. has spent / years
in Salt Lake City, but he has now left the
state in order that his young children may
grow up outside of Mormon influences.
He said that multitudes of good people
had left and are leaving the state as the re.
suit of Christian work there and on this
account the benefits of the work are not
readily observed within the borders of the
state. The Mormon people themselves
are just as corrupt in principle as they
ever were. He urged the congregation to
petition their representative in Con-
gress to protest against the seating in Con-
gress of Representative-Elect Brigham H.
Roberts of Utah. He stated his firm be-
lief that Mr.. Roberts's election was die
tated by the Mormon church, and in sup
port of his belief he said that some time
ago manifesto was issued by the Mormon
people stating that no Mormon should be
elected to office without the consent of the
higher church officials. One of the signers
of this manifesto was Mr.. Roberts.
