Show MISSIONARIES BADLY ABUSED Elders Stoned and Subjected to Other Indignities in England Reports of attacks upon elder's of the Mormon church in the English field have been received by church authorities from President Pres-ident Rudger Clawson of the British mission. In Nuneaton and Seatonhurst, bigotry and malice were recently felt by Mormon Mor-mon missionaries, one ot whom was tarred and feathered and others stoned and harassed. S This persecution, reports Mr. Clawson, has become so serious that it has been necessary to withdraw from some of the mission mis-sion fields in England. An elder named Smith was the victim of the tar and feather incident at Nuneaton. At Seatonhurst the Mormon elders were invited to attend an open meeting, where a minister turned the mob loose on them. They were forced to flee for their lives. The local authorities afforded no protection. protec-tion. Herald-Republican. |
