Show Some Queer Doctrine. Ministers at Hyde Park Set Forth Peculiar Doctrine to Citizens. Hydk Paiik, Aug. 12. -The three ministers mentioned in a former letter let-ter have been holding meetings nightly, night-ly, upon our old meeting house grounds. Large crowds have attended attend-ed their services and listened to thplr interpretations of the scriptures. It is to be regretted that some of our young people havent had self respect and good manners enough to keep them from disturbing their meetings by loud talking and laughing. They have been quite annoyed in this way. However much we may disagiee with their theology, we should give them a respectful hearing. Some of tho doctrines enunciated by them arc as follows: "Death was not brought about by Adam's transgressions; Christ did not atone for it, but for our sins; God tho Father, .Icsus Christ and the Holy Ghost, arc one personage, person-age, spirit Is not a substance; baptism Is not for remission of sins, and Is not essential to salvation; good works arc not a condition to salvation; wc will not have the bodies we now possess pos-sess in tlie resurrection; believe In Christ and we shall be saved." Mr. Nutting also stated that "The church and state are one In Utah." The alfalfa seed crop will bo light here this year, the cause of it being a small bug, and grasshoppers. The blighted beets seem to be growing some now, where they have plenty of water The chinch bugs are not so numerous. The building boom which struck our town tivc years ago still continues. George Klrby is now erecting a nice little dwelling of several rooms which will be a credit to tlie town when completed. Hanccy & Sons arc the builders.
