There is being erected on the corner
of Ontario and Howard streets,
church which is the first of its kind
to be established in Philadelphia 1t
will be known as the First Church of
the Latter Day Saints, and here will
worship the followers of Joseph Smith
and believers in the Book of Mormon.
Reverend ~. E. La Rue and Elder
George w. Robley administer jointly
to the spiritual welfare of a congre-
cation of over 100 persons. The new
church is an imposing edifice of stone
and brick which cost $1,000 to erect
and which will comfortably seat SEQ
persons. The pastor expects the con-
gregation to double it's numbers this
winter; already he has gained new
converts, and although the Mormon
doctrines and all who follow them
were at first severely condemned by
the cloth and the laiety of this city
those who listen to the faith set forth
by Mr.. La Rue find very little to CEN
sure, many of the principles being
strictly orthodox.
The members of the congregation,
although they adhere to the doctrines
of Joseph Smith, have little or nothing
In common with the Mormons of
Utah. They look upon the teachings
of Brigham Young as a defilement of
the sacred doctrines of the true Nor

Latter Day Saints Church, says the

doctrines of polygamy and claim that
their social codes differ not the slight
