We understand that the Mor mons have been in some parts of this county for several weeks attempting to establish tjieir doctrine and organize churches, rtuu 111 oruer mai me people may Know the evils of their aoctrine we nave decided to publish a series of articles from the pen of an eminent Presby terian devme which is worth your attention. It will be con tinued from week to week. -Ed. There lies before me a card bearing on one side the names of two men who proclaim them- selves elders in the Mormon church, sent forth as mission- aries to convert neonle t,n that faith' and t0 induce them t0 a. A. leave their' homeH and an tn Utah. & Oil the other side of this card are printed thirteen "Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints." You have doubtless seen this card and read these "Articles of Faith." Ydu may have been convinced that there was noth ing very bad in them after all Indeed you. may have thought that you could consistently sub- scribe to them, believing them to be reasonable if not Script 1 m urai. But belore you do so, will you listen to one who loves you and desires your soul's sal vation : one who has the best opportunities of knowing Mor moiiism thoroughly, having lived amor? these necuhar oeo- m m mm pie ten years, and mingled with them in their meetings, heard them preach and teach: seen them in their daily walk and conversations read their books, studied their history, met and heard their "oroohet. seer and revelator," Brigham Young, J A.

In ex- nlaininff them he will ouote the very words of their prophet and anostles. The first article reads: "1. We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in his Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost That reads alright. All Christ lans believe an mat out not in the same sense in which the Mormons do. Their idea is set forth in their catechism, ch. v Question 1. ''What kind of a being is God?'? Answer. "He is in the form of a man. s. Question 6. "Has God a body then?" Answer. "Yes like unto man's body in figure. Chanter iv. Question 1. "Are there more Gods than one?" 1 Answer. "Yes many." Then Mormons worship aj man and call him God ; and who is this man? Prophet Brigham Young, in a sermon in uie lajeruacie in Salt Lake City, April 9, 18o2, said: "When our father Adam came into the Garden of Lden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He help- ed to make and organize this world. He is Michael the Arch- angel, the Ancient of Days, and about whom holy men have written and spoken. He is our father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. The first Article of Faith goes on to say, "ana in nis oou Jesus Christ." President Brigham Young said, "I tell you that God was the father of Jesus Christ, just as I am the father of my son." Apostle H. C. Kimball in the same tabernacle, July 11, 1852, said: "Jesus was the Son of God, aad Hyiura Smith was a Patriarch and a Son of God, and bear witness of it unto all men Apostle Orson Hyde, presi dent of the iwelve apostles, said in a sermon, October 6th, 1854 : "If at the marriage of Cana of Gahlee, Jesus was the bride- room and took unto Him Mary, Martha and the other Mary, whom ! Jesus loved, it shocks not our nerves. If there was not attachment and familiarity utwppn nnr Radnr anrl rW women, highly improper only in the relation of husband and wife, then we have no sense of 1 propriety." "We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, whereby He could see His seed before He was crucified. I shall say here that before the Savior died He looked upon his own natural children as we look upon ours. When Mary came to the sepul- chre she saw two ansrels. and I ' the7 said unto her "Woman, whv weenest thou?" She said -j x -- unto them, "Because they have taken away my Lord or hus- band." Now what, ahont the Holv Ghost? un ounaay, oepiemuer i c ji n i. 1 15, 1857, Apostle H; C.Kimball ;aid : "Well, let me tell you the Holy Ghost is a man ; he is one of the sons of our father and our God, and he is that man that tood next to Jesus Christ, just as I stand by Brigham Young. You think our Father and our God is not a lively, sociable and cheerful man : He is one of th most lived lively men that evei If this is not blasphemy, Is it too much Mormonism is what can be? to say that I m m , wm. snecies ot lcloiatry man ship? Can you believe thai I V J the pure and holy God whom yourparents worshiped and taught you to worship, will recocrnize the ordinaces aamin- istered by such men? Or that the ''laving on of their hands- - ml for the gift of the Holy Ghost7 will be honored-by that pur and holy person of the Godhead ? Article V. reads: "We be- I 1 . i 1 t i- 1, 1 1 rt J neve inaD a man iuusi ue uaueu of God by 'prophecy and by the laying on of hands, by tiiose I 1 . 1 . ? J .

Here then is the foundation upon which all the Articles of Faith which follow are founded We need not take the time to discuss them all. However, wt must notice a few of them. Article VII. "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelations, visions, healings, etc." I As to the "gift of tongues," . it is a noted fact that then apostles and missionaries had to learn the languages of the countries to wnicli tliey were sent as missionaries, just the same as other people, and that only those of them who in the ual way acquired the kmowl- ge of French, German, Ital- f M ioi e us ed ian. etc.. or tne aiaiect oi tne American Indian, have been a able to preach or converse in those "tongues." As for prophecy, Apostle H. C. Kimball propesied in the Tabernacle, September G, 1857, that Brigham Young should be- come rresiaenc oi ine unitea States, and he (Kimball) Vice President. Both have been dead many years, and neither was ever even nominated for the office. Bfehop-L. D. Young prophe- sied in the Tabernacle, Decem- ber 13, 1857, saving: "The whole United States and the whole world could not prevail against the Saints;" and yet General Albert Sydney Johnson with a small army of Unite States troops marched into Salt Lake City, took possession, dis- placed iriguam loung irom the office, of Governor and placed Governor Cumings in i v his stead. Brigham Young never after held the office, On Sunday afternoon, April 2, 18C5, Brigham Young proph esied that there would yet be four years of war. A week later General Lee surrendered to General Grant, and the war I drew immediately to a close, as every body knows. Apostle Parly T. Pratt proph esied in 1838 : "Within ten years from now the people 'of this country who are not Mor- raons will be entirely subdued by the Later Day Saints or swept from the face of the earthy and if this prediction fails, then you raav know that the Book of Mormon is not true." I The VHIth- Article of Faith reads: We believe the Bible to be the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mor mon to be the Word of God." Continued Next Week.

A cave on the hillside a Mount Washington, thirteen miles from Taylorsville, Ky., is the home of a wild man Whence he came is a mystery H)ut he lives on fish, snakes 1 . ards and anything else he can catch, and his powers in this line are as well developed as those of a wild beast. Souire JN. j. Harris, near whose home the cave is situated discovered the wild man a few nights ago. While feeding his stock he noticed smoke curling from the mouth of the cave Going to the entrance he found a lot of bones and leathers scat tered around. He did not care to go inside the cave, not know 1Q2 Wliai W11U. l 1 i Z I I animal might abide there I TT 1 '1-1 1 -tie aeciueu, iiuwuvoi, to watch and discover the tenant A dav or two after he returned to the place and found the lod- crer outside the cave, it was I i X . i- ine siruiiuesu bit ot numanitv ever seen hereabouts- a little, OrieQ Up mrill, four feet high, weighing ninety pounds or les, and covered with a shaggy a snaggy coat oi nair. xn clothing was hardly worthy of attention. The wild man tried to escape into the cave, but Mr. Harris intercepted him and endeavored to find out whence he, came and who he wasi The strange creat ure, however, could only talk in a jargon not understood by his questioner, but the squire finally made out that he came from South America The veritable wild man has lost all vestige of civilization. His hands are paws to all in teuts. and he fears man as .h wld1 flJ?u ' ,Har"s told hln g " bors of his discovery, and hun- dieds of persons have been to the cave, hoping to see the strange object, but they have failed of their purpose. On the approach of any one the man seeks the darkest re cesses of the cavern, and he must be able to see in the dark for the presence of anybody on the outside is enough to keep him concealed until the intruder has departed. How long he has been in the cavern is not known. He is probably sixty years old. The neighbors do not care to molest him, as he commits depredations and makes his own Jiving without being anuisance. He Fooled The Surgeons. x All doctors told Renick Ham ilton, of West Jefferson, O., af ter suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured him self with five boxes of Bucklens Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on Earth, and the best Salve in the World. 25 cents a box.

Stewart, a business worth muuv millions, bnilt up on aidvortis- ing, wliicn lie just as easily lost by his failure to advertise. When Judge Henry Hilton let the ereat business of A. T. Stewart go the 7 wall in 1896. with liabilities of $2,539,907, says the Atlanta Constitution, he awoke from a dream, but too late to be of any beneht to himself. The Chicago Times- mr Herald, noticing this fact, show's that Stewart never ceas ed to be an advertiser. The no tices and announcements of ale constantlv ale constant! what he had on s appeared in the newspapers He never thought he was too rich or that his business was too well established, to get along without advertising. Up to the last day of his life his business was con stantly kept before the public. After his death the advertising stopped or was conducted in a feeble and spasmodic way. Says the Times-Herald. "It ceased to lead because under Judge Hilton's manage ment it ceased to advertise. Judge Hilton was a shrewd le gal and commercial adviser and hard worker, but. no advertiser He thought the reputation of the house of A. T. Stewart would continue to be its own advertisement. But that was where he was mistaken. "There were rivals in tin field who were quick to see the opening left when Judge Hil ton changed the firm name to E: J. Denning & Co., and then to Hilton, Hughes & Co. They used printers' ink to blot out the strong impress made by A. T. Stewart on the mercantile i world. Hilton did nothing to counteract the -advertising oi his rivals until they crowded him from the markets, and in 1896 the firm went to the wall, with liabilities amounting to $2,539,907. and no available assets." To this pass had the attempt to do business Without constant and shrewd advertising reduced the greatest dry goods concern known in the United btates twenty years ago. A. T. Stewart knew his busi- i r TT 1 i 1 ness, and nenry union Knew his business. But the business of Stewart was dry goods and that of Holton was law. The one demands publicity, the oth- . .It er can oe transacted nest in a back office. In keeping the A. T. Stewart bargains insilksand cotton goods out of print, Jlil- ton secured privacy in that Jine, but killed the goose that laid the Stewart golden egg. To-day the store in which Stewart the advertiser, made the millions which mlton, the non advertiser, lost, Wana maker, another advertiser, has revived into the busy arena of trade where millions may be made again. There is a moral in this for all who care to read. During the winter Mr. James Reed, one of 1897 of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.; struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutch es, lie was treated by phys" cians, also used several kinds of liuiment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began uting Chamber lain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week'9 time and he be lieves that had he not used this remedy his leg would had to have been amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Hood & Grantham. ADTOniA. Tfc bad Yw Han Alwan EcajM BXTttU cf Where n Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you cat.
