In this connection there Ia another
telling consideration 10 be- taken into
account. The nnti-"Mormona." here
and elsewhere. never ceased Boosting
u their superior civilization over that
of the "Mormonr." consequently Il viii
h. Eood logic TO conclude that most ~
the - nom Mormon" convi,ia were
bred. born aud reared BY Christian
parents IN Christian communities.
brought up In the midst u Acknowledge
"a culture. refinement and q high order
~ civilization.
Thus u will be- seen that "the
Christian churches were represented In
the pcnlicn,laty," NJ they have been.
alt aionR. In Utah and elsewhere. and
that the Dr. was misstatinE tho whole
matter. thinking that statistics 10 meet
his faischooda were not just now at
tainabic. especially IN far on Mani
toba.
Now let II be Understood that We do
not place the blame 81 tho crimes CON-
mittod BY ro-calied Christians. upon
the churches to which they belong or
In which they may have been
reared THAT h one ~ the Chris
tlan" methods pursued toward tho
"Mormonn." but II In too deccitful and
contemplate for the "Mormons" 10
Initiate. nut We will say this. and II
can be proven beyond successful dis
pute. that until the advent Of what was
called christian civilization" with H.
religious preachers. disciples sof tho
learned professions, gamblers. hnriotH
ioafcfa and tho usual concomitAntH Of
those elements into this quiet and or
derry community. such crimes as are
herein enumerated were almost un-
known. and they are not products Of
Mormon" teaching or influence,
We do not inflnuate that any chris.
tlan church or society advocates Hln or
crime. We do not place tho rcaponfi-
biilty for the Vices and evils abound
Ink In chris,endom. upon any Of tho
numerous Christian aecta, We aim
ply rcpudiaie tho charEc Of immortality
against the "MormonH," and explode
the HophlStienl statements aud argu-
monta Of profeaaed Christian minis
tiers. who arc trying to make money
by tho defamation ~ the "Mormona"
