spent in the city of Edinburgh. The
people in Scotland are slow to make
,cquaintances, and seem quite salts
fed with the relig on they now have.
The notorious Hans Peter Freese has
succeeded in arousing considerable
oppos tion, and the people in the cit
les especially the wealthy classes. are
proud and aristocratic, and care but
little for religion. Still the Elders
find some honest souls who are will
ng to hear their message, and few
are being baptized. Elder Waite, had
the pleasure of baptizing eight hon
est souls into the fold. Elder Waite
