called such in the andover review for april is an article entitled the P propaganda are a I 1 by rev kev D L LoR leonard dnard of gait salt lake city utah chii article purports to be an exposition of the missionary system of the latter day saints it pretends to te be exhaustive and analytical and to embrace eve every thing that needs be said on this ag subject of course it la Is written in the he usual style in which I 1 SUCH TIRADES are written though here and there men aen gerces are met which concede merit of some kind to the people so liberally vilipended vili the article is intended to be one of those remarkable death blows which mormonism has been receiving lor for the past 67 57 years it reminds one ol of the th stage method of killing indians when the indian approaches to lilt lift the scalp the martial blows a tin in trumpet and down goes poor lo 10 though this article written by mr leonace falls woefully short ol of its object yet VS if fills ila a very important space apace in missid missionary nary philosophy we know enough about protestant and anc catholic missionaries narie but comparatively little of the Mor mormon luon and to the student of comparative RELIGION mr leonard affords some assistance the article abounds in the usual unreason and incongruity so characteristic of all anti mermon marmon literature the cloven hoof is visible on every page while every word breathes impotent virulence and humiliated hate these poor creatures who ire are so fond of dubbing themselves reverends ought to assumed assume 1 a virtue if they have it riot ilot 11 I 1 do this thin suggestion out of 0 personal interest in the preachers of utah itah or chicago but bat I 1 do it because I 1 do not wish to see gee humanity dragged down to the level of the bante and that is ia what these theme brainless H uneducated uninstructed instructed ua creatures or rather preachers are doin ing the monkey attempts to look wise and there are moments when he appears preternaturally solemn but the preacher never essays wisdom and nd when he be tries to be solemn he be makes himself LUDI CROUSo notwithstanding all this the utah preacher is worthy of consideration we must not condemn him bia because he be developed dev elopes lato into a D L L or as toe the colleges auld have it in an L L J D we might as well condemn wheat and corn because evil persons make bad whisky from them no these utah preachers must be shown the evil of el their ways we must pray for them and endeavor by example and precept to shame the minto nto decency it is probable a few of them are beyond redemption but some human instincts in must not yet vet survive in the main body and as long as ady instincts of a humane character remain there is hope to come to the missionary business it is ia known that annually is collected for this work from protestants while only a little over one million fis s collected for the same work among catholics according to protestant authorities 1 THE CATHOLICS CATHOU 08 with their one million do eleven times more work than protestants according to the rey Rev D DL L L the mormon missionary system costs nothing and in its work it completely Tte eclipses others other ir he hessye says ane extraordinary activity and marked success of this strange body of religionists in making proselytes prose lytes fairly constitute one of the most striking if not also most startling religious religions phenomena of the century there is nothing at all phenomenal about it it to is simply a demonstration of the superiority Harto rity of human wisdom and divine guidance over human arrogance and demoniac pettifog ging an investigation of the me ame great missionary systems will explain th this a matter the protestant missionary at home and abroad is nonproductive ele be is 0 AN excrescence 1 or rather a kind of tapeworm tape worm in the body poli politic tid he sever never rat raised a a potato nor does he know how tl prom botn the cradle to the gravelee gravel he heis Is a cadger his never ending cry is more money he makes himself so odious to the people among whom he sojourne sojourns sojo urns that they either eat him or let him starve if he succeeds in getting an audience it is because he distributes soup or pretzels to the hungry and starving whether in ireland or utah in fiji or africa he is looked upon as a pest and a pest he be proves himself this is easily accounted for the protestant mission ary when he bs first sets out is generally a single man or she may be a single woman the first thing this missionary does after being assigned to te his or her field of labor is to look for a partner A marriage is soon celebrated and the business of producing 4 i YOUNG CARPET is the missionary who makes no BO effort to support himself by indest industry ry or labor is soon compelled to resort to all kinds of schemes to keep up ME his treasury himself and his bis family become a tax on the people at home and nd abroad his hia example js demoralizing and his children generally end either criminals or lunatics what is stranger than all the missionary has never a fair word for the people among whom he be is supposed to labor while talking smoothly to them he is meanwhile writing the most scurrilous and calumniating falsehoods about these people and sending these ros missives to distant churches and organizations the eon consequence sequence is that today to day there is not one self supporting protestant missionary church either inside or outside civilization even protestantism itself has become a myriad host of jarring schools producing anarchy and aad disorder everywhere its church organizations are not cemented by religion but by self interest and by social ties they are rather CLUBS COTERIES COTERIE shaa churches one man who assumes the title of rey bev is paid a large sum to be master of ceremonies preacher he cannot be called tor for his sermons sermon sare are about as juicy as a hosts hoosear hoa sear ear his principal occupation to is to watch the utterances and ceremonies of some other preacher and if he finds him renouncing pronouncing the tb name of god E in long primer or small pica ia or if he finds his pantaloons b a little at the knees then it is t time me to declare war in fact war must be declared anyhow it shows aggressiveness independence and liberality era lity and these are protestant attributes la Is it any wonder that eleven millions of dollars are expended annually for missionaries that dont christianize ti THE CATHOLIC missionary whether male or female is and must always remain a celibate this cuts off all ail possibility of raising young carpet and saves the church from the odium of missionary children the catholic generally casts his lot with the people among whom he be is thrown he may not eat dog with the indian but he be will eat what ever else comes in his way in connection with his bis school or cell he marks out some line of industry and often succeeds in supporting himself perhaps he founds a monastery or a convent and in many cases he makes himself popular still there is something lack WK ing he does not endeavor to implant the progressive spirit and intellectual activity of the catholicism he be is supposed to represent sent ent that is the catholicism cosed in 0 of f french no h english and american civilization AS A missionary the be catholic is not so much of a tape worm as his bis brother the protestant how does the mormon church stand on this matter rev kev D L L rives gives two statements almost in the same paragraph one of which says and of coarse cours when ewhen thus called the mormon missionary ot of the lord obedience must be instant and aad matter at what serious damage to bust business ness and though loved ones be left destitute 19 this teis statement is made to that the tae auran is arbitrary and tyrannical and that loved ones I 1 are left to starve the other statement reads each one goes altogether at his bis own charges and d only if his bis family is in actual want aes does the church offer assistance here Is AN AH ADMISSION that the church will not let the loved ones suffer however enough can be learned from both statements that the mormon missionary places the work of his hia god and of his religion before all other considerations he goes out well I 1 fortified forti fled with the faith and spirit of his creed he joes goes out oat to combat prejudice rancor and hate he goes out to conquer tyranny to soften bigotry tore to remove eve ignorance and subdue ue satan he e does oes oot not go out as a tapeworm tape worm or it a carpetbagger carpet bagger as a cadger or a cutthroat if he finds congenial spirits he be will partake of their ho hospitality a and deliver his message of peace harmony and goodwill if he doas does not find these he plods on earnestly resolutely and magnanimously swallowing swa howing scorn and insult without repining or making in heartrending heart rending appeals lor for boodle to friends at home he Is ley everywhere ery where A at home he be was pue and according accordi sg to D L L goes out on his own charge and when abroad he is ever willing to work to produce to teach and also to learn in a word he exemplifies the spirit loi lof process gessi ot of civilization and of religion in its and most comprehensive the rev age type L L makes a curious adt admission hission with regard to england he says the rell religion ion was carried into england because the english people were better fitted for it a barbarous church than any ather people he says and so a grade of converts must be had bad accustomed and preferring to yield intellect and conscience to outside sway ai this la Is perhaps the first time in the history af protestantism that a preacher was ayas round to credit the ENGLISH were in inthe the babi of yielding intellect and conscience to outside sway away the nan man must lie be a fool an idiot or a lunatic to characterize the english people thus the englishman mar mair be mate ana som eumes DUC but the tae history of his country proves that he be has never betrayed his conscience or his intellect and i it it were not lor for the infernal preacher and his tapeworm capacity for guzzling the england of today to day would sot not present the spectacle it does nor mor the ireland of today

raced mormonism MOT Monism than ot off any otner other nation but bat it is because the english people are ripe for an advanced and progressive religion D L L says that pagans and catholics dont take readily to mormonism and given give us to understand that is why rt to is a bad religion but D L L said in a former communication that pagans agans and catholics dont take readdy readily to clean
