People have heard much concerning
the unpopular people from Utah.
Adjudge them fairly. If judgment
is ours at all we should hear their side
of the question. True Americanism
cries aloud for justice in judgment
in all things. We have a chance to
hear some OF the doctrines of Nor
momism and to ask them questions
on their articles of faith which were
given by Joseph Smith their first
prophet) and reads as follows:
