That Anti.MOrmOn Lecture.

q The two Mormon missionaries who
have been in this city for some time
make the following reply to Mr.. V
J. Danielsen, who lectured here We'd
nesday evening:
Eds. Freeman-Journal: AS we had
only opportunity to ask questions at
the recent anti-Mormon meeting in
the U. 3. church, we wish to reply
to few statements.
The so-called "Mormons" (Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)
take no oath of disloyalty; but with
reference to the certainty of victory
for America they point to prophecies
in the Book of Mormon" There
shall be no king upon the land, says
this record, and II will fortify this
land against all other Nations: and
he that fighteth against Zion shall
perish, sayeth God: for he that rails
eth up king against me shall perish,
for l, the Lord, the king of Heaven,
will be their king" :,
We are a law-abiding people; the
18th article of our faith reads thus:
We believe in being subject to kings,
presidents, rulers and magistrates;
in obeying, honoring and sustaining
the law. 4"
In regard to reward given in Salt
Lake City for traitors to the church,
the statement is quite inconsistent,
and untrue. 1t is poor religion that
won't stand opposition. The truth is
always prosecuted; it was proven by
the story the speaker told of being
thrown into river in England while
defending the Gospel, but no perse-
cutions now.
There has not been a polygamist
marriage granted by the Mormon
church since Sept. "a, 1890. There
is a $1,000 reward offered for any man
taking second wife since that date.
Those who had plural wives before
Sept. "a, 1890, continued to provide
for them.
Utah was the first state in the
Union to complete classification OF
registrants and West Virginia second.

Twenty Years Ago.

The little magazine, Achievements,
enumerates some of the things as they
were, or were not, twenty years ago:
Billions of dollars were undiscover-
ed, and Congress spent whole after
moons cutting down appropriations for
Fish Creek from $500 to $59S.25.
Bicycles were as common as legs.
Automobiles and millionaires were
rare.
Table board was So a week, or SIS
a week with the best room in the
house."
Hotels had "bill of fare" and the
menu" with prices marked opposite
was almost unknown.
Appendicitis had just been discov-
cred.
Ice cream was served on Sundays
and holidays from the kitchen, and
factories prepared to supply it to the
whole population three times day
were not dreamed Of.
Nobody wore white shoes, and palm
beach suits were in the ALPACA stage
Cream was six cents pint and milk
five cents quart. Bacteria had just
taken it's first sip OF the lacteal fluid.
All up-to-date young men had "liv-
cry bills"
Cantaloupes were muskmelons.
u
\ The hired girl did the washing and
worked for $1.5O week. \
The butcher threw in" chunk of
liver.
A Sane Fourth of July had never
been mentioned.
The soldiers vote controlled the
elections.
Farmers came to town for their mall.

HOW TO MAKE HAIRPIN LACE
Simple Directions Given for Work
Which May Be Used in the Place
of Hemstitchinq.

Try making the new hairpin lace and
using 1t in place of hemstitehing. Make
q loop with thread or crochet cotton in
middle of hairpin. Place crochet
needle on under side of hairpin, and
turn hairpin. Catch thread with
crochet hook and draw through loop.
With crochet needle In loop In middle
of thread Of hairpin catch loop around
the hairpin. You will then have two
loops of thread on crochet needle, then
catch thread with needle and pull it
through the two. You will have the
one loop in middle of hairpin to start
again.
If you wish to make a centerpiece
of leaves, try this stitch. First work an
ordinary stitch from side to side, fol-
lowing the outline on the leaf. A cat
stitch is a series of stitches taken
from side to side between two lines.
After the leaf is filed with cat stitch
es, take a new thread, and starting up
the top of the leaf take two tight but
tonhole stitches where the threads
cross, then carry the thread across to
the next crossed stitches on opposite
side and again take two b%uttonhole
stitches. Work back and forth in this
way until the leaf is filed. Cover the
marked line Of the leaf with Kensing-
ton outline and it is complete.
