PASTORS WARN
 GIRLS AGAINST
 MORM0NS HERE
Clergymen's s Association De clares Sect's Missio ionaries
 Should Be Avoided.

A warning to women and girls o1 the presence in the city of mission aries of the Mormon church has been issued by the Social Conditions com mittee of the Bridgeport Pastors as sociation through the chairman Dr. Gerald H. Beard, pastor of the Park Street Congregational church. The male. missionaries of the Mormon church are reported as making house toulouse visitations particularly seek ing women converts.
 The circular also contains a warning against Syrian imposters and against a. "Home'' at Devon. The Pastors as sociation has reports from the Chari- ties Organization society," which charges the officials of this home with unbusiness like methods, and declares it not worthy of support. The circular follows:
 It seems important to warn such women andN girls in our city as might otherwise be imposed upon,
 of the presence just now in the city of agents of Mornonism.
 As everyone familiar with Nor mon practices knows, this propa- ganda is not merely one of religion which should have free play among the many sects, but in too many cases is a mask by means of which many women and girls are be- trayed into a life of polygamy. No one should be deceived by the ap- parentIy fair speech and pious pfrasing of these Mormon people Or their literature. Their ways have become the ways of death and worse than death to hundreds of innocent women and girls in the past.
 Even where po1ygarny is not practised among them, tyranny remains that is fatal to free wo- manhood and, true religion.
 Warnings of secondary impor- / tance, yet not without need, may well be given also to charftab1y < disposed people in our city con- corning two ostensibly charitable. appeals that have been made from house to house, or may soon be made. One of these is for the so- called Rescue Home for Aged La this work and the unbusiness-like methods employed are such that it does not warrant support by sen sible people who do not wish their benevolent gifts wasted
 The other appeal is being made from time to time by Syrian men. Z A number of these are travelling through New England, soliciting funds in the name of churches and missions in Syria with which they have no connection. In some cases they are making use of forged en- dorsements and recommendation unless people are sure beyond doubt of the genuineness of such documents, they should deny such requests.
