THE MORMON PERIL.

Some of our readers will have seen in the daily papers the statement and ap- peal which we print elsewhere. Never theless, we trust that they will read it again, and that all who take this paper will religiously consider what is their duty in the matter of very serious menace with which the country is con- fronted. The number and the character of the men who sign the statement are a sufficient guarantee that the inter-de- nominational council of women, who for two years past have been moving for an -polygamy amendment of the constitution, were by no means running before they were sent.

Scotch Presbyterians to c onform to the dictates of other scotch Presbyterians, seems rather out of time and place in the beginning of this new twentieth century.
