we are sorry to see that the superln'
tendent Of the Utah mission Of the NJ
d, church, Is engaged In the same work
Of Misrepresentation that was under
taken IN the later years Of the labors
Of his predecessor. The Christian Adj
vocate Of November, 2sth, published N
New York, contains the second article
contributed to that paper by u D. Lell-
Itch, D. D. It Is entitled mormon
Slavery"
II commences with the statement that
IN q previous article the writer 'assert-
ed that the purposes Of the Mormon
Church we're conquest In support OF
this assertion he points to the migra-
tIon northwsrd Of ''Mormons' into the
fair valleys o. Idaho in "droves'' he
further declares that to-day the Nor
mons control the school board with all
that that means" He elites an mag
mary case Of q young lady who could
not obtain school because she would
moi agree to 'close the school every
Friday afternoon an hour earlier than
usual, and devote the time to teaching
the Mormon religion This and some
0ther nonsenslcal falsehoodS he repeats
as hearsay from Presbyterian preach
er one OF the most notorious defamers
Of the Latter.day Saints.
He goes on TO quote from a scurrllous
article that appeared in an anti-"Mor-
mon paper, concerning the conduct Of
the deaf and dumb school, which was
80 thoroughly retuted Immediately at.
ter It's publication, that everybody ac-
cualnted with the facts, Joined In de-
nouncing II, and several non. Mormon
preachers and teachers gave their testi-
mony to Its untruthfulness In oopncc-
ton with that repetition Of exploded
untruth, DR.. Lelllch makes this state
ment himself.
