A letter from B. c. Flint of Evans
vile, Elder of the Latter Day Saints
church, cOrrectS a recent query and
answer reprinted in this paper from
the MusrOda Progressive. The ques-
tiOn was: Il wish to ask who is the
head of the Mormon church at pres
ent and do they believe in polygamy?"
The answer: Frederick NJ. Smith,
grandson OF Joseph Smith, the found
e. of the sect, is head Of the Mormon
church. They believe in Polygamy,
but do not practice it since the United
States in 1877 passed a law to abolish
it,"
Elder Flint explains that Frederick
NJ. Smith of independence, Mo.
grandson of the founder, is the head
of the reorganized church of Jesus
Christ, which he says has nothing to
do with the Salt Lake body. He goes
on also to relate that the Salt Lake
church, improperly called Mormon"
is an offshoot of the church founded
by Joseph Smith. Heber j. Grant is
the head of the Salt Lake body.
Mr.. Flint also explains that his
church does not believe in or practice
the doctrines of polygamy, blood
atonement, Adam worship, etc, be-
lieved in, he says, by the Salt Lake
body.
The Herald has referred Elder Flint
to Mr.. Webster, editor of the Pro
gressive's @ & A column. Mr.. Web
ster is d courteous and we'll inform
ed gentleman and this Office feels sure
he will be glad to correct any
mistatement of fact.
