ton of eight years ago with Mormonism
today-its prestige and property restor-
ed; its practices renewed: its mission
aries numbered by the thousand in this
and other lands; in complete and indis-
putable possession Of a state Of the
Union
Is this declining power? Is there no
danger here2
Mormonism has thrown down
it's challenge to the nation. The time
has come when we can no longer af-
ford to laugh at it's absurdities. Shall
nothing be done to destroy the growing
power of this ubiquitous institution
which has dared to fiaunt it's vileness
in the nations face?
Let no false sentimentality delay our
action. Let the first blow be directed
against their defiant immortality,
though it involve change in our con-
stitution. For so long as the shield of
constitutional protection be not wrested
from it's exulting grasp, just so long
will this goddess power continue to-
grow. just so long will the poison of it's
contagion spread throughout our land.
just so long will its existence be a mem
ace to our nation, religiously. politically
and morally.
God grant that the day may never
come when this Christian nation shall
be entangled in the meshes of the net
which this malignant foe is so steadily
and craftily weaving.

Let us not think that polygamy is
dead issue. Polygamy was not abol-
ished when Utah was admitted to the
Union. Let no one be deceived Eight
years ago, in public manifesto, the
president of the church announced that
the practice was thenceforth ''sus-
pended" Mark the world 1t was an
equivocation in perfect keeping with
the systematic lying and perjury which
has characterized the Mormon church
in all it's history. Judge their SINGER
ity by the words of one of their own
leaders. In statehood, when we are
free from federal interference y
this memorial will be resumed. 1t has
never been entirely suspended" Yet
their fraud succeeded. Our Legislators,
blinded already by the pretence of in
terest in national politics, put their
trust in these jesuitical promises and
accepted Utah's constitution And
what has been the result? Today
polygamy is not only openly revived
and practiced, but it is urged upon the
rising generation as an essential Of
their faith. 1t is done in open disre-
gard of their constitution and nominal
laws. It is done in conscious immunity
from punishment. And as a browning
act of infamy they have dared to in
suit the nation by electing an acknowl-
, edged polygamist as their representa-
tive in congress, in defiance of all de-
cency and morality Such is the ex-
tent of Mormon patriotism, the char
acter of Mormon citizenship! This,
then, is the power which controls Utah
today-an ecclesiastical tyranny, hos
tile to our nation, which, through fraud
and deceit, has obtained recognition as
a self-governing member of the federal
Union. This is the power which, under
the protection of our constitution is
threatening our religion, our morality
and our very existence as a nation.
AS a political institution in its COM
pactness and completeness of organi'
cation, the Mormon church is without
a. parallel in history. And for what is
it working? Animated with the idea
of worldwide Mormon supremacy, they
are directing every energy toward their
first obiect-the control of the Ameri-
can government, the substitution of
Mormon tyranny for American democ-
fracy. The world has never seen a more
skillful adaptation of means to an end
than the Mormon method of using the

work their own advancement.
1t is true that national party lines
are observed in Utah elections. 1t is
true that with a show of interest in ma
tional politics they are ostensibly di-
vided among the political organizations
of our country. But this is done by or
der Of the church to deceive the Ameri-
can people. By this assumed interest in
our political parties, and by their pre-
tended abandonment of the old church
party, they blinded the eyes of the gov
eminent to their true character. They
won their first great victory. They OBJ
tanned statehood and an absolute in
dependence of federal control. And now
at every important crisis the solid
Mormon vote is cast as the church di-
reefs without a show of adherence to
national party lines.
Balance of power is by far the most
dangerous and effective weapon in the
hands of the Mormon church today.
For ten years they have held the bal
ance of power in Idaho. Their legisla-
tors have controlled the senatorial cleo
lions in Wyoming. When two adioin-
ing territories shall have become states,
their system of colonization will give
them the balance of power there also,
and the day may not be far distant
when they shall be arbiters in national
politics, when they may dictate to the
American government, when they shall
be able to resist interference with their
immortality and treason. 1t is no small
danger under such a government as
ours that the balance of power should
be held by an Independent party in any
state. 1t is a national calamity when
the balance of power is held in three
states by a religio-Dolitical organiza-
ton, not only un-American, but act
ually hostile to the American govern
ment.
Religious liberty of action and
thought is a fundamental principle of
our national life. 1t is embodied in our
constitution. 1t is our legacy from the
Pilgrim Fathers. But is our religious
liberation to prevent us from Interior
ing with an institution which conceals
beneath the mask of religion a system
of corrupt morality. political tyranny
and treason against the state?
When will the American people
awaken to their danger? You who
think that the Mormon power is
broken. compare the weakened institu-

Walter G. Erdman, a member of the
senior class at Princeton, winner of
several prizes, such as the freshman
oratorical prize in Wing hall, and in
the junior orations won the second
prize for oratory and the MacLean
prize for composition of his Grafton at
the contest fortnight ago.
Mr.. Erdman selected "Idormonism"
as the subject of his Grafton, which is
interesting here, chiefly because of the
evidences it bears of the impress of
of Mr.. Erdman is that of an increasing
large number in the east, who accept
all the evil that is said of Utah as
truth. The grafton follows in full:

weight of it's inherent folly. We have
waited in vain.
Founded upon the fabrications of an
INSCRIPTIONS scheme, the Mormon
church has grown in numbers and in
creased in power until it has become
a gigantic evil. seeking to destroy, not
only the Christian religion and the
Christian homes, but steadily working
structure of our republican institu-
tons, and establish upon it's ruins a
Mormon hierarchy.
With the purely religious doctrines
of this system, blasphemous and de-
grading though they be. we shall not
deal. All the world knows that it is an
irreverent system of sensuality and
perverted polytheism, which combines
the evils of the worlds false religions
with a most revolving travesty of
Christianity.
To the world at large, polygamy has
come to be almost a synonym for Nor
moniSm yet polygamy was not a doc
trine of early Mormonism. It is a
later growth-the inevitably corrupt
fruit of an evil tree. Deny it as they
will, polygamy has become a vital fea-
ture of their creed, a growing, insid-
ious evil, which threatens to under
mine the foundations of our national
morality.

and makes every moment more pre-
cious, and each incident stands out like
a milestone.
well, this Easter was as sunny and
beautiful as the one of which 1 have
just spoken. Iron bars and stone walls
could not keep out the sunlight that
morning, and when entered the chapel
for the morning service found it
wreathed with spring blossoms. Not
ported plants, as had been used at
Dannemora, but flowers, most of them
wild flowers, sent in by friends of the
league and arranged by the prisoners.
l never saw my boys with more smil-
ing faces, or heard them sing more
Justify.
THE prison orchestra was unusually
fine, and as every voice Joined in sing
ing the opening hymn, We're March
ing to Zion it did not seem as if we
were really in prison. The gray uni
forms seemed to fade out of sight, sad
ness and helplessness were dispelled
for the time being, and the boys ap-
peared to catch the spirit of the mo-
ment and to look beyond present sur
roundings and TO realize that there
was a better, happier home beyond
to which all who loved the Lord were
steadily marching.
But it was the closing scene that
last made my final plea to those who
had not confessed Christ more than 100
one by one, stood up and dedicated
themselves to God. That Easter day
had opened with 500 members of the
league in Joliet prison, and before the
services closed nearly 200 more had
been added to the list.

of my life. Days when prisoners har
dened by crime and bad passions gave
themselves up to God, cast their bur
bens on the Great Burden-Bearer and
became like little children. [ have
had many letters, both from my boys
and the wardens of these prisons, and
do not know of a single instance where
the converts of these two days have
not lived up to their pledges. Some of
them will never again know the bless
ings of liberty in this world, but they

Mrs. Ballington Booth, the "Little
Mother" of State Convicts, Tells
of Two Wonderful Easter Exper-
fences - you've Carried Your
Burden"-An Easter In the West

There are two casters in my life, -
said Mrs. BallingtOn Booth, the Little
Mother of the state conivcts, which
stand out with the brilliancy of the
stars on a moonless night. The first
was spent in Clinton, a state prison at
Dannemora, n. Y. 1t was an ideal
festival, such day as 1 believe was
made forever holy by the first resur-
rection.
I'VE started at 10 O'Clock for the
chapel, and, when we entered, found it
packed and crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. Long planks had been placed
across the aisles to form impromptu
seats, and every place was filed. The
platform at the rear of the room was
a mass of flowers. The standard of the
Volunteers Prison League was draped
against one side of the wall, while on
the other was the stars and stripes.
All the work of my boys, and you
have no idea how beautiful it was.

rather, ] should say, the most unusual
service-for never before had 1 met

an audience like that one There were
no sullen expressions, no faces of SCOT
fers, among those whom 1 looked down
upon They all wore the prison stripes,
and many looked as though the waters
of the earth had rolled over them But
it had left them hope, and that hope
made their faces radiant. AS / arose
to sing, my little daughter, who sat
with the warden's family in the audi
ence, and who was making her first
visit to a prison, became impatient.
and, leaving her seat, quietly slipped
on the platform. She chung so tightly
to my skirts that L finally lifted and
placed her on the desk at my side.
When I had given out You've Carried
Your Burden, L asked her if she would
not sing a verse of it for the boys
Much to my surprise, she Immediately
began, and sang the verse through
without break.
Il shall never forget that scene. The
childish voice rang out sweet and
clear, and so distinctly that every word
was heard. The little figure in white,
with her golden curls about her face,
smilingly sang her message, and tears
streamed down the faces of the men
as the baby voice repeated, o bring it
to Jesus, he's loving and strong
believe more than one lonely, aching
heart, who, perhaps, for many years
had not heard "a childish voice, was
lightened that Easter day, and found
for the first time the great Burden
Bearer.
In the afternoon we held our Sec
ond service, and it was like gathering
in harvest. There wasn't much said
there seemed no need for talking
but when l left Dannemora that even
ing / felt that Christ had risen again,
and that to many men 1 was leaving,
though in stripes and behind prison
bars, the peace that passeth under
standing, a renewal of hope and faith
in God and mankind.

was spent in the state prison at Joliet,
