ADVOCATE ON
THE MORMONS
Says They Should Be Driven
from the Community by
Public Sentiment

In its leading editorial this week the
Christian Advocate ~; attacks the Nor
mons, who are quite active in Richmond
just now, and declares that they should
be driven out of the city by the force of
public sentiment and the universal con-
domination OF the pulpit and the press.
Says the Advocates:
"The Mormons are showing q very
aggressive spirit. They are sending
their missionaries In every direction to
propagate their system. Nor are they
without success. BY coycrtly concedlng
without success. BY. coyertly concealing
their true doctrines they impose upon
the cred,llous and manage to multiply
their adherents.
1--WE do not endorse the violence used
against them in certain quarters, while
we do not wonder at 1t; but surely
every legitimate effort should he made
to dlscoumtenance and defeat their
movements Those who are in condl-
ton to know say that while they pro-
fess to submit to the United States
law forbdding polygamy. they still Sc
cretly practice 1t. Apart from this most
obnoxious feature their teachings arc In
direct variance with those of the Christ
ian religion. Processing to have reve-
lation OF their own. they set aside our
Bible ana pin their faith to the fictitious
yagarlcs Of Joseph Smith and Brigham
) Dung such q corrupt and pestlent
sect should be driven out of every de-
cent community by tho force Of public
sentiment and the universal condemnn-
ton of the pulpit and the press"

tj6ss AS stated heretofore, Mr.. Crawford is
considering two or three nattering calls
which have been laid before him. The
position OF superintendent of the new
(. Ant!- Saloon League OF North Dakota Is
open to him. While it IS hardly likely
u he will 90 that far away. he has not

MIR. Crawford came here about two
years ago and opened up the nnti-saloon
work Since then he has been more OF
less before the public eye, In view OF
his connection with the Campbell affair.
s Various rumors have been abroad to
the effect that the Rev. j. w. West,
\ field secretary of the league, intended to
go out with Mr. Crawford and would
\ shortly resign. When seen yesterday he
denied the report. 1t has been practl-

however.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
Mr.. West has just returned from Suf-
folk, where he went to open up q tenn
IS perance campaign. While away he had
some rather amusing experiences.
l5t Just after he had entered Suffolk and
held conference with the pastors and
arranged for q meeting on the fourth
Sunday, he went into n restaurant to
get dinner. He discovered later mat
there was a bar attached. While Still
in the restaurant Mr.. West saw man
como in and show tho proprietor n copy
OF the paper in which 1t was announced
that the Anti-Saloon League representa-
two would shortly pay Suffolk visit.
The restaurantaur, rs said, had o saloon
attached 10 his place. and he appeared
to be much agtatcd.

him.
Then no and his friend went on to dis
5cuss the situation. Meanwhile Mr.. West
sat near by and took notes of what they
said about him He might have occa-
sion to refer to them hereafter.
When he left Suffolk that day several
people thought he had gone for good
nnd began 10 rejoice. But last Sunday
the fourth sunday--he went back and
held a meeting in the City Hail itself.
on Monday night he packed the BAPTIST

that the girl, then q woman, had mar
ried, and he himself married also and
came to this country. Years passed, and
the wife of the one and the husband OF
