Mrs. Potter of Bloomington, Ills, the
secretary of the Utah bureau of the
Womans Home Missionary society,
startled her audience yesterday after
noon when she announced that Utah is
the only heather mission in the entire
Jurisdiction of the organization which
she represents.
This statement was made by the mis-
sionary worker in most unqualified
manner, at the opening of the remarks
made by her to the women who as
sembled in the First Methodist church.
She followed it up with a brief state
ment concerning the difficult conditions
that are met with in Utah, by the
Christian workers sent out by the
Home society, and explained the diff
Guilty of showing the Mormon the err
ror of his belief by stating that it is
made up of extracts and parts from
every heather doctrine under the sun.
After the meeting Mrs. Potter en-
phasized what she had said and point
ed to the few converts that are made
from the Mormon faith. She also quoted
the doctrine of the plurality of wives
as an instance of belief borrowed
from the heather Mohammedans and
other oriental people"
Continuing her talk, Mrs. Potter said
that she did not believe in anathemas
or abuse. She believer, rather, in
crowding out the evil.
Women missionaries are more sue
cessful than men," said she. Il do
not mean by this that women can be
expected to do all the work. but by lit
tie acts of Kindness they can teach these
people better than men can"
Tale of Nineteen Years Work.
Mrs. Potter then told most interest

cation that now expends about $4,000

visited the state four times. Her pres
ent ambition is to be able to add one
deaconess to the list already sustained
by the society, whose duty it will be to
make visits on the sick and needy at
the call of the various pastors. At the
present time Salt Lake has four dea-
conesses, who reside at the home, Provo
has one, Mount Pleasant one, while
schools are maintained at Spring City

Rawlins, Wyo., Aug. 16.-Recently
the discovery was made that Rawlins
has enough clay for the manufacture
of pressed brick and thing to supply
the demand for these articles for many
years to come. The clay is found in the
workings of the old Dillon coal mine
near this city and from investigations
made there is an unlimited supply of
the article. Quantities of the CLAW
were sent east last week and manu-
featured into pressed brick and tiling.
The result showed that the CLAW made
a beautiful brick, very hard and strong.
while the thing was the best that had
ever been seen, being so hard and
strong that it was broken with much
difficulty.
