"If you can do nothing bet

dryly, "get a pumpkin and
roll it about. That will be at
least innocent diversion"
Not long afterwards a con-
ference of ministers met at
his house. During the evening
an earnest discussion on cer-
tam points of doctrine arose,
and from the lofty pitch OF
some of he voices it seemed
as though some Of the dispu-
tants at least were in danger
of losing their temper, At
that juncture Mr.. Haynes
daughter quietly entered the
room, bearing a huge pump.

to England and Scotland
this year for spools. The
wood is cut in small logs in

June. Then the bars are
bundled and sent to Bangor

generally into steamships for

N. Wharey, d. d., who were
appointed a committee to
frame resolutions on Norm

which will be read in all the

= "The committee appointed
to consider and report on
certain papers referred to
them upon the subject OF
Mormonism. respectfully re-
port that quite a number OF
subjects are embraced in
these papers, especially,
"First. That Mormonism
teaches that poIygnmy or

trine of their society and that
it is the duty of good Norm
ons to- 'live their religion

have been contracted since

tally that Congressmhne elect

practical polygamist, and
that he was elertpd for the
purpose of testing the con.
stitntionality of the Uuited
States laws on the subject.
"SpcOnd. 1t is farther sta.
ted that the Mormon Church
has now about 2,000 miss
ionaries in many States of
the Union endeavoring to
make converts to their soul

"These papers make a re
quest that petitions be pre-
pared and presented TO our
respective Congressman, ask

pelling the Mormon polyga-
mist from the United States
Congress and to take the
necessary steps for the dis
franchisement of all polyga-

are aware that 'Synods and

clude nothing but that which
is ecclesiastical. and arc not
to intermeddle with civil af-
fairs, which concern the Com
monwealth, unless by way OF

time it is the duty Of Presby-
teIies to condemn errone ons
opinions, which injure the
purity or peace Of the Church
and to ordain whatsoever
pertains to the spiritual well

their care. In view of these
facts:
