This is only one of many cases brought before my
notice. The party OF women are III reality but a

1t is amazing that religion based fraud, and
historically infamous for the most horrible atrocities,
should be living growing force in civilized coun-
tries today. Those who have read the life of Brig
ham Young know we'll that he and his followers
guilty of wholesale assassination. The infamous deed
of blood plotted by the Mormon church against the
Arkansas immigration company and the Mountain
Meadows massacre in 1857 facts which should be
remembered in the light of more recent crime and
trickery. The Mormon road to Heaven for women
could only be traversed by passing through the
mysterious Upper Rooms" of the temple set apart
as the scene for blasphemous ceremonies AS the
exaltation of the weaker sex in the next world de-
pended upon the pleasure of the prophet spiritual
husband, salvation could reasonably be expected by
joining the ranks of his plural wives In Ezra the
Mormon L disclosed, as far as possible, the
savory ceremonies, emitting some parts which could

1t is good to know, however, that despite the active
work of PROSECUTING elders now in London our

religion are not of the snares laid for creduous and
weak-minded people. AT the Pan-Anglican congress
well-known preacher, Father Ignatus" just before
his recent severe illness, selected the mysteries and
crimes of Mormonism the subject of an address,
announced to take place in the Portman rooms. A
study of this existing evil had been suggested to him
after reading my novel; which he declared was
enough to initiate crusade of indignation against
the Mormon Church" throughout the civilized world
Could the secrets of Utah be more widely revealed
and Mormonism exposed in its true light both to
credulouS young women in manufacturing towns
and the easily deceived London servant girl, untold
misery might be avoided.
Many Borrowing parents have reason to remember
the call OF the elder at their cottage doora verable
