tives and friends Brief services were
held at the residence, after which the
cortege moved to the First Welsh Con-
gregational church, where public SER
vices were conducted by Rev. David
Jones, pastor of the church. His text
was taken from Exodus, xv:23, "And
when they came to Marah, they could
not drink of the waters of Marah. for
they were bitter: therefore the name
of 1t was called Marah"
In the course of his remarks he spoke
of how deceased had been blessed hy
God in having reared a large family,
who today are able to fight the battle
of life for themselves. He also spoke
comforting words to the members of
the family and relatives. At the con-
clusion the assemblage was permitted
to view the remains,
one noticeable feature of the process
sion was the large number of old resi-
dents who were in attendance, many
of whom had known deceased for forty
five years or more as a West side resi-
| dent. Although nearly 6S years of age,
Mr.. Harris died young in years in COM
parison with the ages at death of menu
bers of the same family who have pre-
ceded him to the grave. the majority
| of whom having exceeded eighty years.

how in 1896 he had the pleasure of
viewing his grandmother being bap-
tized in a wcll-hnown river of Wales
at the age of 1O5 years.

The American Sunday School union
has an abundant field to work in at
home. and intends to send the Sunday
school missionary in an undenOmina-
tlOnal manner to work among these
districts. The union finds its best field
among the rural districts. The Coun-
try in the Rocky Mountain district
possesses the most energetic class Of
people to be found in the United
States, and those residing west of the
Ohio river have developed a remark
able energy, which was undoubtedly
inherited from their forefathers.
In Utah the larger portion of the in
habitants are Scandinavians, but in
his district there are hundreds of In
dianS who have never had the priv
ilege of reading the word of God. Rev.
DeGroff expressed the wish that his
talk would be the means of bringing
to mind the needs of the people in the
district he represents, and believes the
children there are appealing to the peo-
pie of the East for their sympathetic
and financial aid, which is necessary
to carry on the work. He closed by
inviting contributions which may be
sent to his address, or left with Rev.
J. Z. Moffat here.

Hughes News and advertisements re-
ceiVed at this oflicel
Rev. w. i. DeGroff, superintendent
of the American Sunday School union,
of Topeka, Kan, addressed the con-
gregation of the Washburn Street
Presbyterian church last evening on
1.-The Rocky Mountain District In
his opening remarks he quoted pas
sages from the Gospel Of st. Mark,
and from the second chapter of Philip
ians, and used that sentence Look
not every man on his own things, but
on the things of Others" as the basis
of his remarks.
During his address the speaker said
he had spoken at the Washburn Street
church five years ago, and has la
bored nearly fifteen years in his pres
ent field of work, his work being in
the interest of the Sunday school and
the children. The territory in what Is
known as the Rocky Mountain district
is seven hundred and eight times the
area of all New England, having at
least half a million children out of the
folds Of the Sunday school, and un-
cared for from a religious standpoint.
When the society was organized
there was 100000 children out of the
folds, and now there are 11,0000 900 un-
cared for, so far as the Gospel is con-
cerned. Instead of being a missionary
from China, as he was thought to be
by small boy whom he spoke to
once, he is working right among the
children of the United States.
Referring to the children Of Utah.
the speaker said they are subject 20
Mormon teaching. He read a song
which he obtained in Sunday school
in Utah, and the title of the song was
"G Want to BE a Mormon" which
they teach the little ones, and the
closing lines are as follows:
"Ill be n little Mormon
And follow Brigham Young"
He said There the church places
the book of Mormon above the Bible,
and the only safeguard against such
teachings is to literally teach and cir
culate the word of God. The Nor
mons teach that Mary and Martha
We're the wives Of Jesus, and that He
had many wives" Referring to his
associate in the work there he said
the latter had occasion to pass through
a country district and found q town
where nothing but Mormonism was
taught.
They visited camps in Wyoming
where 1000 and 5000 souls were To-
