at the close of the service The speaker
said that Vermont should naturally be
| interested in the Mormon phase of mis-
sonary work because this state was the
/ birthplace Of Joseph Smith, founder OF
Mormonism, and Brigham Young, who
saved that institution. Bad and corrupt
as polygamy is, the speaker regarded this
as secondary evil compared with the
| compulsory allegiance to the general doc
trines of that church. Mr.. Goodwin
spoke of the tabernacle built by Brigham
Young in Provost, which was said to be
almost an exact counterpart of the
church in Nottingham where Young was
born, bit of sentiment hardly to be
! expected of a Mormon leader
