of a couple of mormon elders as we are called the pulpit and the press have been arrayed against us recommending one thing and another tar and feathers have been very freely taked of for some time but we have always found a friend I 1 in n time of need then they thought we could be expelled by the law and even spoke of giving us to leave we thought however that where the evil one was working so ao hard to remove us there must be some of the blood of israel found hence with the help of the lord we have tried to do our duty we are gradually gaining ground and hope ere long to add some honest souls to the fold of christ the elders are searching in all parts and now and then find one who is willing to sacrifice flee the pleasures of this life to have his name cast out as evil and suffer reproach for the name of christ we have quite a number of good friends efti these parts some a little toe friendly in the of darkies the elders who have labored in the old sunny south will know what
