THE MORMON SITUATION.

The recent statement that the Nor
mons were to send 3d. 600 settlers into the
Big Horn valley Of wyoming has
brought forth considerable comment
upon the present condition of the Nor
mon church and the prospects for the
future. There can be no question that
the sect is very strong. but the reports
sent out are likely to convey exagger-
ated impressions as to the growth Of the
body. From the year 1880 the Latter
Day Saints were driven from one locality
to another and the opportunity for evan
gelization was indeed small Most of
their attention was given to establish
ing and developing themselves within
close limits The withdrawal of prac-
tically all the adherents to the Salt
Lake valley in 1S47 ~gave no chance at
that time for missionary work The
coIonists naturally devoted themselves
to Immediately surrounding conditions,
just as the earliest settlers on this con-
tinent did. They were as intensely in
earnest then as are Americans now. The
same can be said OF believers in the
book of Mormon Brigham Young, The
first great leader, was as aggressive and
far-seeing as Alonzo Snow and Wilford
woodruff. Young, however. was COM
PEELED to turn his attention primarily to
the 1QuLQALlOn WOAA u lAAC u HA1~A
his successors are completing. Hence
there is no ground for the belief that the
Mormons Of the present time are more
worthy Of commendation for sincerity
than formerly.
During the year 1899 the Protestant
Christian sects-Blethodists Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian, gained 49, 200
members, while in the SAME time the
AIormons swelled the numper of ad-
herents $1,000. It should be kept IN mind.
though. that the Protestant way Of num-
bering members is different from that
of the Latter Day Saints. Every child
Of Mormon parents cannot escape being
counted as a church member. while in
the other churches mentioned only those
who voluntarily become adherents are
given in the reports
The efforts Of Joseph Smiths follow
ers are not to be minimized In almost
every country on the earth may be found
