Remarkable Statement by an "0ld'
Timer" to a New Conner

Some months since a family arrived
in this city from one of the southern
states. with the intention OF making
II their home, and permanently casting
their lot with the Latter-day Saints,
to whose faith they had been converted.
The family was OF more than average
intelligence, its head being successful
business man, and his wife q cultured
lady of decided musical ability.
They rented a nice home In a respect
able nelghborhood, but had not long
been settled in II when the wife OF
neighb0r who claimed to have long re-
sided In this city, called and related
lot OF sensational stun about the rMor-
mons One Of the statements made
by this woman was 10 the effect that
the authorities " the Mormon" Church
had caused TO be printed number OF
books which were kept secret, and were
not allowed TO be read by any persons
except a chosen few who could be
trusted, zone Of these books" assert
ed the woman, lis called the Book Of
Mormonw
uf VIE VI the new fOiltT, 10 WHOM
this tasetment was made, could not re-
fraln from laughter at the idea OF the
Book of Mormon being described as a
book intended for secret circulation
among chosen members Of the Mormon
Church She pointed to a table In the
room upon which the volume lay and
told her visitor that there was a copy
OF the book IN question, which she, the
caller, was welcome to take home and
read az her leisure The woman took
the book With a promise to read It, and
has since informed the lender that she
was taking the bets care Of It, and also
of other Mormon" books which were
loaned at the same time.
That any old-tlme resident Of this
CITY should suppose that the Book of
Mormon Is a secret publication may
well be regarded as phenomenal, In
view of the blood. treasure and vast
amounts of Missionary effort that have
been devoted 10 the work Of making
all mankind familiar with il.
