RETURNS FROM FLORIDA
c. A. Calls Says Mormon Church Is
Prospecting in the South-As-
signed to South Carolina.

c. A. Calls. formerly county attorney
of Summit county, has just returned
from Florida, where he has been on a
mission for the Mormon church for the
last two years. Florida is one of ten
states which constitute the Southern
States mission over which Elder Ben Z.
Rich has presided for nearly ten years.
In this mission, Mr.. Calls said there are
upwards of thirteen thousand members
of the church. In 1907 there were more
than seven hundred baptisms or CONVEX
sions to the church." said Mr.. Calls.
IN the Florida conference. over which
| presided, there are about 100 members
or the Mormon church and in the city of
Jacksonville beautiful chapel has been
erected. In this city the church has a
membership of about one hundred. In
Atlanta Ga, a neat little church has
been recently built"
Mr.. Calls praised the southern people
for their hospitality and the kind treat
ment accorded him and his ce-laborers
in Florida and Georgia, and throughout
the south. The prejudice against Nor
monism he thinks is fast disappearing
and the people generally manifest a dis
position to give the MOrmons fair hear
ing.
Until the recent panic" said Mr. Cal
lis, the south was enjoying wonderful
prosperity. Resources are being deveI-
oped; the manufacturing interests are in
creaSlng and the completion of the Pan
anna canal will bring commercial advan-
tageS. Methods of farming and agricul-
tural implements are being modernized.
Florida is the winter playground for
tourists. The climate during the winter
months is ideal"
When asked if he intended to resume
his law practice in COalville Mr.. Calls
replied that he had been appointed TO
perform another mission to the south.
His field of labor will be South ca
lima, He leaves for that state about
April 10.
