These people a tdly misunderstood and there exists much predjudice against them for the reason that polygamy was practiced by Mormons until a very recent date. It is claimed that this debasing feature of sociai life was not part of their religion, but was adopted by leaders of early days as a matter of public policy. It has been repudiated, however, by the church in convention, composed of bishops, elders, leaders "and teachers, and now is as dead to Mormons as slavery is with the Southern people. Education and refinement is now more general and widespread in Utah, the Zion of the Saints, than in any of southern states. The most imposing im-posing and commodious school houses fm Uie continent are to be found in Mormon communities, while the moials of the people are cared for by a bishop in each ward of cities and county. The largest and handsomest, temples creeled to the worship of God on the American continent are the taberoacle and temple of Salt Lake City, and the largest organ, except ex-cept one, in the world, Is in the taber-n.:"le taber-n.:"le l.i accompany one of the grandest grand-est choirs in America, composed of .'00 rolces, to sing the songs of Zion. Hownver mueh we may t ifTcr w ith ( he Latter Day Saints, there is one thing certain, and that is, that they preach from the Bible of other Christians Christ-ians and are as much entitled to preach as others. The laws of this br-rad lnd cnarantee to them that right, and we are !!. tbc iH.i-ul p.'o; le of Louisiana will not be intolerant intol-erant and interfere with them. While the old and new Testament is the text book of Mormons, they still believe be-lieve that God in His intlnite wisdom did riot neglect humanity in the western while caring for t lie Jewish people of the eastern continent, and here U whete the book of Mormon o ig nates. It is Hie reputed history of an ancient race which inhabited America in prehistoric days and was delivered in golden tablets to the prophet Jos. Smith, who based the new religion upon this revelation. The Mormons were persecuted and driven from point to point, until under un-der Iirigham Young they finally m.tved through trackless forests, im-pas im-pas sable wastes and mountain barriers to at last, after mouths of suffering, settled in Salt Lake valley, where they imagined they were hidden from persecution. The cree.dj)f the Lat ter Day Saints is ba-;ed upon four cardinal principles tl i st, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; secbud, repentance: third, batpisoi by imtiKTMon for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of han-'s for the gift of the Holy Ghost. The eldeis or missionaries of the Mormon church are sent forth without with-out a cent to defray their expenses, and it is expected that the Lord will provide, auj lie evidently does, as the two here have not been wiiiiout shelter since entering this state. So much for the Mormons. Now for the community. These missionaries have not been very succes ful in securing a place wherein to preach, but they c; n scarcely expect other denominations to turn over their churches to them, nor can they expect to gain possession of i ublic buildings denied to all others. Tiiey should remember that as the foot of the Gentile is never permitted to cross the Temple, crowned by a statue of the Angel Moroni in Salt Lake City so are 1 1 1 y deprived the ue of Ch ;s'i4n churclu s.

We had thought the day of narrow-minded bigotry had passed away, but it appears ap-pears that a remnant still lingers iu some quarters. The prevailing religion relig-ion must be but shallow rooted when the advent of two itinerant preachers of a new faith is feared iu a locality. However, the Mormons will find that East Baton Bogue is populated by a liberal and generous people, who accord to all men the right of worshipping worship-ping od as conscience dicta' es." Ira if.
