THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY" OR A CHURCH

The man who INDUCES in easy criti-
cism of the church, sneering at the in
Stitution, questioning the sincerity of
her ministers, and impugning the mo-
tiyeS of her members, boasts that he is
'as good as the people who 90 to
church, " and that he doesn't need the
church. For his part, the whole or
ganization of Christianity might be
eliminated from society.
The man who talks thus is not
weighing his words. Closer study
would show him that the entire body of
or modern life is woven through and
through with the influence Of the
church, even as veins and arteries
thread the human physical structure.

One of LIES Loughes
By Katherine Hopson

When the girls Of the Unity club
were graduated from college. they
agreed TO come back in ten years
and hold a reunion. no matter in
what part OF the world they might
happen TO be. When that time
came and nine OF the original ten
gathered together week before
commencement. al conceded this
10 be wonderfully good percentage
since they came from the four cor
ners of the earth.
Elinor Gardman. the only un-
married one OF the nine. was also
the only one who had had a career
in the accepted sense. For she had
studied abroad and was now a sue
cesful concert singer. The gods had
been very good TO Elinor at her
birth. They had endowed her with
beauty, brains, magnetism, and a
voice of gold. She. of all the group
was most fortunate in natural en-
dowments
\ Yet Mary Greer, the eldest of the
group, who had mothered them all
felt a subtle change in Ehnor since
the old days She was even more
beautiful, with added poise which
the years had brought, but there
was a GOODNESS that had not been
there before. Mary wondered if
the blishted romance with Claud
Edmonds ad had anything TO do in
bringing this about.
However. Mary's attention was
attracted at this moment by the
discussion about the sundial that
had been their clubs gift TO the
college.
We're obliged TO move It," an
nounced the club president. The
growth OF the college necessitates
more buildings, and that makes it
necessary 10 move our sunjial. But
the powers that be have given us
permission TO choose our site where
the sundial is to be placed"
why not consult with the new
landscape gardener who's here
experimenting some york on the
campus" spoke up another.
After some discussion, Elinor
was chosen TO interview him. AS
my old cook used to say. You have
a glib tongue laughed Mary.
Why, yes,-Ill see him il you
want me to. What's his name?"
asked Elinor.
I've forgotten. He's recently
come form California. They say he
went out there a few years ago, a
penniless young fellow threatened
with tuberculosis, and got a job
with Dan Clemmons the big plant
expert, in his experiment station.
His health improved rapidly. Mr..
Clemmons, took a fancy to him for
he showed marked ability along the
lines of landscape gardening, and
now they say he's at the top Of his
profession"
He's in the summer-hoUse now,
why not see him. suggested one.
"A good time to beard the lion in
his den" laughed Elinor and made

the Alberta temple will serve for all

doubt that as soon as the war Is
over, they will Begin building
temples in Europe Probably the
first two will be in London and

Another evidence that the Nor
mons are preparing for a world
campaign on a vastly larger scale
than ever before attempted. is to be
found in the activity OF their press
bureau. which is hard at work, send
ing out items designed to break
prejudice against Mormonism, and
70 familiarize people with the idea
Of polygamy. Mrs. Susan Young
Gates, mother Of Emma Lucy Gates,
the famous opera singer. is one Of
Brigham Young's numerous daugh-
tiers. She has recently syndicated
a series Of interviews in some OF the
Sunday papers throughout the coun-
try in which she gently insisted that
polygamy was not so bad. once you
get used 20 il. All OF this propa-
ganda shows a reaction 10 modern
criticism. Instead OF the scornful
attitude Of their earlier days toward
the Christian religion and 'Gentiles'
in general, they now appreciate the
fact that they are under a stigma.
and they are occupied in trying to
prove that the stigma is false, and
does not apply.
However" said DR.. Mills, IT do
not want TO seem TO be an alarmist
over the Mormon situation, because
on the contrary, I believe that Nor
monism as a religion is passing. In
the very nature of things, the time
for Mormonism has gone. For in
stance, the doctrine of polygamy is
essentially for a pastoral people. II
is based on the old fashioned family
unit, that was self-supporting
community, on a small scale. The
husband and father was, so to speak,
mayor over a little village Of wom-
en- and children, who by their labor
on the farm and in the house, kept
down the expenses OF such a large
establishment. In our modern in
dustrial and commercial life, there
is no place for such establishments.
The ordinary Mormon has enough
to do to support one family without
running around borrowing trouble,
especially as the average educated
Mormon girl has tastes in dress and
home furnishing fully equal 70 the
financial ability of her husband. She
would not be satisfied with the sort
of life her grandmother had.
ANY one familiar with conditions
in Utah must realize that a gradual
disintegration of the entire religion
is going on. 1t is due TO the infiu-
ences of modern ideas. such as evo-
luton and higher criticism. The

Polygamy for all the world as a
result of the tremendous slaughter
Of the men Of this generation. is the
mbition of the Mormon church to-
day Reports from their semi-an-
nual conference held in Salt Lake
City last week. suggest that they are
only waiting for the end Of the war
to start out on a world campaign,
designed to put polygamy ola the
map everywhere, according TO DR..
r. l. Mills, OF the board of home
missions Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
Quoting from reports made at this
conference. DR.. Mills says that over
$4,000, 900 was paid out last year
by individual MOrmons for the fur
thering of the religion OF the Latter
Day Saints" as they call themselves.
There were $3.50 1.-THE payers in
the church last year, that is, men
and women who gave at least one
tenth Of their entire income to the
church, and there We're "47,S2O loyal
Latter Day Saints who contributed
TO the church by giving fast offer
ings."
An exhortation by Joseph +. Smith
in his presidential address before
the conference. that all widowers
who are not too old should feel it
their duty to marry again, suggests
a tactful paving the way for a
polygamy propaganda.
Just as soon as the war is over"
said DR.. Mills, they are going TO
make a tremendous drive to spread
polygamy all over Europe. because
they realize of course, that the ire
mendous surplus Of women over
men in all the belligerent countries
Will offer such an opportunity for
their propaganda as they have never
had before"
DR.. Mills, who is superintendent
of the frontier department of the
home mission work Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. has recently been
ordered to New York, as staff sec
rotary OF the centenary celebration
OF the mission work of that church.
He was formerly stationed in Salt
Lake City, Utah, where he observed
the Mormons at first hand.
1T is easy 10 find evidences of
preparation on their part for a world
campaign on a new scale" DR.. Mills
continued. For the first time I'm
their history, they are branching out
as a world religion. Heretofore
they have built temples only in
Utah. This year they will finish two
new and elaborate temples, one in
the Hawaiian islands, and one in AL
berta, Canada. In the past when
the Latter Day Saints, as they call
themselves, wanted to perform those
mystical rites which confer the high
est blessings, they had TO go TO Utah.
