doctrine and Scripture, which they pretend to be the word of God. They also call them selves “ The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter-Day Saints." There are 300,000 Mormons in the United States, besides “ churches” and missions in Canada, Europe and elsewhere. They con trol the State of Utah, and by votes and money influence the government of other states and even the national Congress itselt.

Tell the story of the sinking of the Titanic, and how they played and sang “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” when the ship went down. There is a story, beautiful and true, of a'ship the lookout of which saw a distant speck upon the ocean; nearer approach showed it to be a floating spar; still nearer they came to it and they could see a human form clinging to it.
