Show ; Kcligious Delusions. Spring pale, Utah, Dec. 9, 1896. Editor Union .. ,! ; . ' It is no wonder that the Grim j Monster creeps . in among us when i we notice the indifference which is S shown by numbers among this peo-j peo-j pie. It appears that, there is less regard for the word of 0od at present pres-ent than ever before. While in Sevier County the' writer came across a document which purports pur-ports to be a. letter .written . by Christ shortly after the , Crucifixion; and which is leading some of the people away . , I will mention two or three points of doctrine taught in the above document. In the first place Jesus commanded command-ed the people to go to church on Sunday, which latter is claimed to be the seventh day of the week, and which we all know to be incorrect. Also, "If there is any among you who have not been baptized let them go to the sacrament meeting and partake of the sacrament and, thereby become baptized members of the church." Dire calamities will befall those who receive a copy of this letter and fail to publish it abroad among their friends; while on the other hand those who do publish it among their friends, and keep a copy of same in the house, will have no harm or accident of any kind befall them. The wife shall be preserved in child-bearing, etc. It is far better than an insurance policy pol-icy on a residence, because it cannot be destroyed .by. floods, fire or any other calamity. , Now it is strange that such a delusion de-lusion could get any following among this people, but such is a fact.
