The story of Christ and the Christians, I learned at my Mothers knee; that of Joseph Smith and the Mormons I learned from records and personal associations. That the Mormons have been grossly wronged, and that they had a God given mission I really believe. This belief, which impressed me years ago, has been illuminated by observation and made strongsr by 'Theosophy. It has been my good fortune and privilege to have lived among these people for nearly a decade; to have partaken of their generous hospitality; and to have, mingled freely with them around the fireside within the home circle; and to their relations, relig- have studied . ious, political, civil and domestic.

This changed was to me then something of a shock, for thougt I, a Minister should not be blown about by var-in- g winds of doctrine, but ought to be steadfast in the faith. However, he had a shock absorber in his amplification by explaining that he learned something new almost every day; consequently, his view of life and its phenomena changed accordingly. That lesson I learned that day has expanded with the passing fact: we years into the we believe what believe. must Our beliefs thrust themselves upon us; should we deny them, we are not true to God, to our fellow to that still men, to ourselves-a- e, small voice that whispers to us if we but sit in silence and listen.
