Sir.--Before we howl against the
recent visit OF the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir TO Richmond 1t might be well
TO look into the past experience or
firmly established churches with formi-
dnble hereto sects. 1t has ever been
that the fierce opposition OF the church
has redoubled the vigor of tho up
starts. But as soon as tho young sect
finds Itself in n position where 1t does
not have to fight for It's very exist
ence. it falls prey to internal dis
sensions, and Its original purity and
energy become corrupted for lack OF
exercise.
