2. Subsequent to the discussion, when in Bath, Elder Taylor was
informed that Mr. Cater had officiated for ten years in York Street
Chapel, in Bath, as a Baptist minister. Inquiring indirectly about the
matter of a Mr. Cox, a Baptist minister in Bath, he said that Mr. Cater
was a Baptist minister, and was then preaching in Boulogne.

CHAPTER XXV.
THE WORK INTRODUCED INTO PARIS--INTERVIEW WITH M. KROLOKOSKI--"WHICH
IS BEST, YOUR PHILOSOPHY OR OUR RELIGION?"--FRENCH PHILOSOPHY OR FRIED
FROTH--TRANSLATION OF THE BOOK OF MORMON INTO FRENCH--CHARACTERISTIC
LETTER--UNSETTLED STATE OF AFFAIRS IN FRANCE--FRENCH LIBERTY--GOSPEL
INTRODUCED INTO GERMANY--TRANSLATION OF THE BOOK OF MORMON INTO THE
GERMAN--ZION'S PANIER--A CONFERENCE UNDER DIFFICULTIES--DEPARTURE FROM
FRANCE--A KNOWING OFFICER AND A TRUE FRIEND.
Shortly after the discussion Elder Taylor left Boulogne for Paris,
where he began studying the French language, and teaching the gospel.
Among the interesting people whom he met there was M. Krolokoski,
a disciple of M. Fourier, the distinguished French socialist. M.
Krolokoski was a gentleman of some standing, being the editor of a
paper published in Paris in support of Fourier's views. Another thing
which makes the visit of this gentleman to Elder Taylor interesting
is the fact that it was the society to which he belonged that sent M.
Cabet to Nauvoo with the French Icarians, to establish a community on
Fourier's principles. At his request Elder Taylor explained to him the
leading principles of the gospel. At the conclusion of that explanation
the following conversation occurred:
M. Krolokoski.--"Mr. Taylor, do you propose no other plan to ameliorate
the condition of mankind than that of baptism for the remission of
sins?"
Elder Taylor.--"This is all I propose about the matter."
M. Krolokoski.--"Well, I wish you every success; but I am afraid you
will not succeed."
