the Brooklyn branch Of the New York district
of the reorganized Church of Latter Day
Saints have been silenced and barred from
spreading the doctrines of the Mormon cnurch
for disobedience CT orders. This was maze
public in an advertisement. The advertise
ment as published was signed by Elder Jo-
seph Squire. the district president who lives
! at o27 McDougal street. Brooklyn.
Elders Gum and Potts, it appears, refused
to work in entire harmony with the district
authorities, and failed to make reports of
their missionary work in New York. New
Jersey and Connecticut. Why they falled TO
make these reports could not be ascertained.

was neglect Of duty on the part oil the Two
elders and they were silenced, and tnen the
advertisement was published, SO that the pup

out authority to act for the feorsahizea

made against the two elders Presiding Elder
Squire declined TO discuss Lie ilae.ei. ~
said the advertisement had been published
under orders of the conference.

to have been open, for the sleuthss would
