Rev. Percy R. Ferris Told OF the
MOrmOns in His Sermon
Last Night.
TO UNSEAT SENATOR.
Declared that One of Nations Greatest
Peril was Indifference to Questions
Until it was Too Late-W. C. T. U. was
Present-Sermoh was of Much Interest
and Timely.

Rev. Percy R. Ferris, pastor of the
Baptist church, preached on the sub
ject of Mormonism last night. There
was q large congregation present, in
Guiding the members of the local
branch of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. During the SER
mon, the pastor told of some of his
experiences while in Salt Lake City,
Utah, last February. His words were
listened to with a great deal of inter
est and created a deep impression
upon those who heard.
Mr.. Ferris took his text from
the first verse of the third chapter of
Second Timothy. "This know also,
that in the last days, perilous times
shall come" He first dwelt pom the
evils of the day and said one of the
greatest perils to the American nation
was the Indifference shown by the
people until il was too late. He then
urged his hearers to take up the fight
against mormonism before that organ
~ization became too powerful to be
overcome.
Mr.. Ferris told Of being at the min
%ister's conference in Salt Lake City,
where the petition against the seating
| of Reed Smoot as United States Sen
ator from Utah, was first taken up.
| He told of the earnestness of the men
there and how they declared that with
earnest support of christians through
out the country they could win their
fight. Mr.. Ferris declared that no
religion which supported sin, such as
polygamy was, could be a christian
religion and 1t was wrong in the sight
of God. He admitted that in his
country every man, whether Jew or
GENTLE, Catholic or Protestant, had a
right to worship God as he saw fit,
but the minister pointed out that
mormonlsm was not a religion of God,
and therefore it could not be classed
with the others.
The grounds upon which the min
listers of Salt Lake City want Mr..
Smoot unseated in the Senate, Mr..
Ferris said, were that he vas a polyg-
amist and was therefore a violator of
| the laws of the State which he is
supposed to represent in the national
congress. When Utah was admitted
as a State it was forced to pass a law
prohibiting polygamy. One minister
at the Utah conference declared that
he could prove Mr.. Smoot was a
polygamist. 1t is pointed out that q
violator of the State law should not
be allowed a seat in the national
Legislature. Mr.. Shoots friends
claim he is not a polygamist.
The second ground for opposing Mr..
Smoot is that his first allegiance is to
his church and his country second.
All Mormon apostles, of which he is
one, take such an oath.
Mr.. Ferris said that the movement
to unseat Mr.. Smoot was in charge of
the W. @. Z. u. all over the country
and a united effort was being made to
flood congress with petitions and
private letters showing the popular
feeling in the matter. He urged the
people of Perth Amboy to do what
they could, recommending private
letters addressed to Senators Kear
and Dryden.
A solo by F. r. Conklin, "Lead
Kindly Light, at the close of the
service, was a pleasing feature.
