And yet the News is the paper which
quoted approVingly from that less cow
ardly, even if not less indecent, minor
Mormon print which declared that the
women had uttered wilful slander ana

If the good women of this land do not
understand the question and II they are
simply the victims OF designing men,
how can they be called "wilful SANDER

God has condemned them for an inno-
cent mistake?

TERRIFIED CHRISTIANITY

The lmpudent apostle has made an
other OF his unjust and viperous at
tacks upon the Christian ministry OF
the world
Hyrum NJ Smith is as narrow. as
bigoted, as self-laudatory as mis- own
father. the president of the church
and that is saying that he has reached
the extreme possible limit in the pos
session and exhibition OF these undesir-
able qualities
Apostle Smith says that the reason
why the Christian ministers of the

nothing better could he expected under

us come to the practical part OF his
proposition. The Mormon church has

During that time 1t has thundered It's
anathema against all other churches I'm

God 1t has condemned the preachers
OF all other churches az exercising
fraudulent authority and as selling
their untrue message for worldly gain.
And yet, during this period the Chris
tian churches OF the world have multi
piled their membership and preachers.
More money is expended five times
over IN the spread OF Christianity to-
day and in the maintenance OF It's good
works wherever established than was
expended when the Mormon church
was first organized.
In view of these patent facts what
on earth have the Christian ministers
to fear from Mormonlsm? The more

BLEEDING EXPLAINED.

1t appears that Apostle Charles w.
Penrosc has assumed the role Of eXpli-
Gator of the 1.-THE finances, and has at
last revealed that the ambition OF the
chief hierarch Is TO free the Mormon
church from debt. 80 at least Mr.. Pen

ence In Ogden on the twenty-frst day
OF January, 1905.

tie edits used to have a standing head

ment should appear over his remarks.
Men as we'll informed as Apostle Pen
rose and less niggardly than he In their
use OF facts (for he is veritable misef

have indicated that the chief hierarch
maintains a debt for the church for the
| express purpose of inducing the Nor
mon people TO submit TO that financial
phebotomy described by President j

in the past five years to make the re-
! maIndcr OF the church debt little more
