npHAT the cults with their false -11 teachings are keeping pace with the population explosion in the United States is evident from their impressive buildings and ambitious expansion programs on every hand. But they are also reaching into territory hith- erto believed impregnable to the in vasion of such vagaries and heresies. A case in point is described in the Au gust 28 edition of the Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, dateline Lon- don, in a news item entitled, “Mor mons Building Up Foundation in Scot land,” from which we quote the fol lowing excerpts: “ David D. McKay, 89-year-old pres ident of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints (Mormon) said Monday the church is building a permanent foundation in Scotland. “McKay, on his way home from Glasgow where he was present at the organization of a local stake, said in an interview at his London hotel. ‘Until now thousands of followers looked to emigrating. Now they will enjoy the benefits of the church at home, a permanent church where they can worship at home. It will enable many to retain the businesses they are in- tcrested in.’ “McKay said the Glasgow stake was the first in Scotland. It has a membership of 2,300 and is made up of seven wards, or congregations, and three branches. ‘We have altogether about 36,000 followers in Britain and of these more than half are in Scot land,’ McKay said, ‘Local leaders have told me they hope to double this number by next year.’ “George E. Bisesinger of Salt Lake City, who is supervising the church building program, said: ‘We have started building the Drum Chapel, Glasgow’s largest Mormon church. It will cost about $205,000. There are now five chapels in the Glasgow area. “ ‘We have embarked on a build ing program for Scotland with the intention of building 11 chapels cost ing about $2.2 million. There will be one each at Paisley, Renfrew and Bel- lahouston. Next week we start build ing two chapels in Edinburgh.’ ‘Mc- kay said 20% of the buildings costs will be borne by the local congrega tions, 80% from the normal church fund.”
