a Congregational preacher into their
pulpit if he can only say something
mean about Utah and stir up the old
hatred The Rev. Jean f. Loba, a
Congregational preacher, in the First
Presbyterian church of this city, on
September 3, said that in the year
1857 his father was run out of Utah
and his cattle stolen, ETC., by the Nor
mons because he would not marry a
plural wife. This story is very old
and dried-up chestnut. A man on
Canyon Road, Ogden, tells the same
story of himself, and it has also been
saddled upon a Mr.. Lorrimer, whose
widow now keeps store in Corinne,
Utah. Mrs. Lorrimer says the story
the story is true or not in regard to
Mr.. Loba, DR.. Paden wanted to keep
up the fires of hatred and strife be-
tween the Gentiles and Mormons and
that is probably the reason why he
invited the Rev. Mr.. Loba to talk in
his church. The Congregationalists
would not invite him to speak in their
church. Since the coming of the Rev.
Bruce Kinney as superintendent of
Baptist mission in Utah, the Baptists
have turned their backs on the grand
est rule of that denomination and that
is to preach the gospel, convert sim
ners and make people better and not
stir up strife and hatred with other
denominations. | do not hear of the
Rev. Bruce Kinney preaching any SER
mons or helping the Baptist mission
in any way, but / did read of his get
ting mixed up with Mrs. Anna Elliott
and sending her to Washington, d. c.,
to commit perjury to injure Utah and
Senator Smoot.
On September Sth, this year, at Og-
den, the Baptist convention endorsed
the American party of knockers and
the effective work of knocking done
by the Salt Lake Tribune. Did this
convention endorse the Tribune be-
cause its owner is a disgrace to the
Catholic church, to which he belongs,
and a traitor to the Republican party,
which gave him the title of honorable
and is doing all he can to injure this
state? Did they endorse the Tribune
because of the unsavory record of a
traitor Mormon that edits it? Did
they endorse the Tribune because it
says there are more young men and
young women in polygamy in the Nor
mon church today than ever before in
the history of that organization? be-
cause it says our public schools are
Mormon church schools? because ii
says the Mormons boycott the Gen.
tiles and drive them out of this state?
Because it says no one dares to go
into business here without first get
ting the consent of the Mormon hier-
archy? Because it is distributed in
different railroad offices in the east to
scare immigrants away from Utah? Be-
cause it says the majority of the peo-
pie of Utah are totally depraved? Be-
cause it endorses Marion Bonsells
sensational falsehoods? Because it
says polygamy is increasing in Utah?
Because it says young women have
been dragged into polygamy in recent
years? Because it is continually in
sulting every young man and woman
of Utah? Because it says, God bless
II. G. Tiff? etc. etc. 1t should be the
main object of the Baptists and other
missions in Utah to convert Mormons.
How many Mormons will they convert
If they endorse the Tribune with its
owner editor and its falsehoods?
When Dr. Paden's anti-Smoot protest
was being circulated for signatures
they asked very busy and prominent
clergyman in this city to sign it. This
clergyman told them he did not have
enough time to attend to his own bust
