WOMEN

san Lake. Dec. a.--The charge made by
are being sent to Utah has been denied in
this statement in behalf OF the Mormon
church.
"The report that the missionaries have
been laborfng especially among women
is absolutely untrue. The statement that
100 women converts are being brought
here weekly is a falsehood, pure and sim
pie. There have been few converts I'm
the eastern states this year and fewer
than 80 i'm Greater New York.
President Smith has given special in
structions 10 all presidents Of missions TO
insist that all missionaries he counselled
never 10 urge converts TO come TO Utah.
The tales that are brought here OF mis-
eionaries urging converts TO leave their
homes. families and friends, are untrue
and are reelxlng masses OF falsehood and
fabrication. Missionaries always coun-
sci converts to remain with their families
and at their homes.
Bitter non Mormon partisans have al
ways insisted that Mormon Missionaries
have directed their efforts toward the
conversion OF women. but they have never
ende.svored TO learn all the truth and
have declined TO hear both sides OF the
case.
Minors cannot join the church with
out the written consent of their parents.
That is one of the first instructions given
10 the missiona ries

there is no question but that IL will be
one OF the big treats OF the season, par
ticularly TO the little people. These dogs
do many more difficult and amusing
to do. and the effectiveness OF their
work is increased by the fact that they
wear papier mache masks TO make them

and human beings, and their trainer,
who IL a ventriloquist. makes them ap-
pear TO talk.
