tianity?"
In place of the regular evening ser.
vice Miss Lille Plimpton gave a talk
on her work in Utah, a short outline Of
which we give. She spoke of the reli-
glous condition Of the people in Salt
Lake City, the most prominent condi-
tions being Indifference, skepticism and
worldliness. She spoke more at length
OF the conditions of Springville in
which town she was located the greater
part of her stay in Utah, telling of the
intellectual, social and religious condi-
tion of the people there. They are an
ignorant but very social class of peo-
pie. Religiously they are quite well
informed in their own doctrines. The
Norman priesthood and the doctrines of
the church was also very entertainly
spoken of, also the work of the Mormon
missionaries as we'll of the Baptist mis-
sionary work there. The work of the
Baptist missionaries sent there by the
Womans Baptist Home Missionary
society consists in visiting in the homes
carrying the gospel, holding industrial
classes for girls, saving and scroll. saw
ing classes for boys, conducting tenn
perance meetings, mercy band meet
lngs. mothers meetings, cottage PRAYER
meetings and conducting Sunday SER
vices consisting of two gospel services
and Sunday school. The work is very
encouraging especially among the
young people. Miss PlimptonS talk
was very interesting and instructive
one and if We should be favored with
another, all who wish to learn ANYTHING
of the missionary work there should
not fail to hear it..
