There are five pages of the above
rot, the summing up of the work Of
eleven missionaries for one season.
This is what they advertise to the
whole world as samples of the people
they found in Utah. What an awful
lie! What an awful impression these
emissaries of God are trying to Gre
ate in the minds of the people of the
eastern states about Utah! In their
entire book from cover to cover they
say nothing about the thousands of
good people they saw, but they mag
nified and enlarged on all the bad
they found This is the usual method
employed by most of the orthodox
missionaries in Utah. 1t was the
method DR.. Paden used in the Smoot
protest as well as the one by his
bosom friend and colaborer. John L.
Leilich. Brother Wishard rolls it as
sweet morsel under his tongue when
he makes a speech or breaches a SER
mon on Utah and it is the most promi-
nent thing in his letters in the eastern
and religious papers. Any mission
to the home of any person with Bible
in one hand and religious tracts in
the other, representing himself to be
a messenger of the Meek and Lowly
Jesus and when he gets their conf
dence, writes down their ungrammati
cal and crude sayings and publishes
them to the world in ridicule, as it
were, is a traitor and hypocrite The

the Gentiles of Utah are getting tired
of these itinerant soul-savers who go
about this state digging up the literary
excrement of the ignorant Mormons
and publishing it to the world as a
sample of our state, and it's people
| will make a few comparisons.
In the year 1891, in classical Engle-
wood, a suburb of Chicago, the mem
bers of the First Presbyterian church
got into a big scrap over their pastor
They called each other all the vile
names imaginable and on different &C.
casions, when they had prayer meet
ing, policemen were stationed in the
church to keep these good Christians
from fighting. Gitteau was an ortho-
doX Christian, and said God COM
manded him to murder President Gar
Helu. "A lew years dSO, III NSlllOul
an orthodox Christian by the name of
Freeman, on returning home from a
revival, murdered his little daughter.
He said the Almighty told him to do
it. John L. Leilich, the superintend-
ent of the Methodist missions in Utah
and as representative of the Minis
terial Association of Salt Lake City,
committed PERJURY in Washington,
ID. c., and was never even censured
for his criminal act, but on the con-
trary, was given the pastorship of a
Methodist church in Lockhaven, Pa.
The Rev. S. e. Wishard, sueprintend-
ent of the Presbyterian missions of
Utah and Idaho, told gross falsehoods
about Utah and her people in the
Herald and Presbyter and was sus-
tanned by his church in so doing. One
can go into any community where the
people are all Gentiles and find just
as crude and ignorant people as
these orthodox missionaries are pic
turing to the world to injure and be-
little Utah. Suppose that eleven Nor
mon missionaries should publish in
pamphlet form the above facts about
orthodox Christians and distribute
them all over the country, leading the
people to believe that the above was
a sample of the Christians they met.
