/ continued, are so lofty that
should not feel good enough to be-
come Mormon without preparation.
Will the act of being converted be
sufficient preparation?"
Decidedly not," assured Miss
Crowthers. There is more to be-
coming a Mormon than merely ac-
cepting the fact. We never expect
a person to say Immediately that she
wishes to join our church. That is a
matter which may require years of
deliberation before a person feels
good enough to join.
We believe that the first princi-
pies and ordinances of the Gospel
are: First, faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ; second, repentance; third,
baptism by immersion for the re-
mission of sins; forth, laying on of
hands for the Holy Ghost.
A person must show by good
deeds and right living that she is
worthy of baptism. We believe in
being honest, true, benevolent, vir-
tuous and in doing good to all men.
We claim the privilege of worshiping
God according to the dictates of our
conscience. And beyond all we be-
lieve in the industry, frugality and
temperance of the people and in
their refraining from the use Of tea,
coffee, tobacco and Intoxicating
drinks"
broke in rather disrespectfully
by saying: If your people live in
accordance with your beliefs their
lives are no doubt beautiful, but are
not the men somewhat effeminate
and less interesting than men who
are not Mormons?"
Miss Crowther enthusiastically re-
piled: No men are more interest
ing, more manly, nor finer in char
acter and disposition and minds than
the Mormons.
/ asked: but how can you toler-
ate the idea of polygamy? / could
never overcome my aversion to it. !"
Miss Crowther's rejoinder was:
You would believe in the principle
of polygamy just as we all do if you
understood more about it. At any
rate, polygamy has not been prac-
tised since 1890, because polygamous
or plural marriages are forbidden by
the Constitution of the state of Utah.
We believe in obeying, honoring and
sustaining the laws.
asked if Mormons marry out of
their religion, and Miss Crowther
said: Our church does not forbid
intermarriage, but few Mormons
wish to marry out of the church.
"0ne great solace in our church is
that everybody is able to help to dc
good, no matter how small a position
he holds. If a member is possessed OF
a special gift, his power is recognized
and his life can be made useful and
helpful by making useof these gifts :
Tell me if you have had many
converts?" l asked Miss Crowther
Last month we had sixty-sixe ebap
tismals in Brooklyn Miss Crowthel
: informed me.
: Many of these had been visited be
} fore by other missionaries, but thei
conversion became complete in tn,
: last few months. !"
As left her room / noticed al
c open hymn book on the sewing ma
chine. This gave sincere note t
r all she had been saying to me and
! went away thinking and wondering
e and hoping she would call on me a
she said she would, or that nigh
' see her sometime at the services sh
invited me to attend at the Mormo
meeting held in Harlem.

KELLER l. [ CONFIDENT
 OF GETTING HIGHWAY
Every County Save Autauga Has Made Deposit Guaran-
 teeing Road Work

That the Jackson highway will be ex- tended through the heart of Alabama rather than through the heart of Missis- sippi WAS the confident expression yes- terday of w. S. Keller of Montgomery, chief engineer for the state highway com mission.
 According to MT. Keller every county in Alabama save Autauga has deposited money representing guarantee that the work in the respective subdivisions would be accomplished.
 Tt is to be hoped that Autauga will in the immediate future,-' said the engi- neer, deposit it's guarantee. Only five miles of the highway will be extended on Autauga territory. and the sum to be deposited will be comparatively small.
 "All other counties have responded. and l feel confident that Alabama will win out in its fight against Mississippi. The cost of extending the highway through Alabama will be much smaller than ex- tending it through Mississippi, and in an historical sense as well as from the stand point of comfort and entertainment, Ala bama is eminently superior to its sister state"
 Mir Keller reported good roads enthus- iasm in Alabama rampant, and that every county was fast getting in position to boast of excellent highways. The day of the heavy mud tax,' he added, has gone.
