In strict accord with this belief, Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., pastor of the Bethany Church, Philadelphia, in the _Homiletic Review_, October, 1885, said: "Salt Lake Valley needs nothing more to-day than colonies of Christian tradesmen. Mormonism should be confronted with the witness of a Christian community, consecrated workmen in all the learned professions and departments of industry; Christian families free from the taint of polygamy and full of the rich blessing of the normal household." Likewise, Judge Osborne, of Utah, wrote recently as follows: "An excellent way to do good with little or no cost would be the location of Christian families in the Mormon towns.... The Mormon priesthood insist upon the complete isolation of their dupes from Christian civilization. They say, 'You must live your religion;' they obey, and the result is bitter fruit. Let a few Christian families 'live _their_ religion' in their presence, and the darkness of prejudice and superstition would roll away like the mist before the morning sun." Yes, put in every Mormon town a few noble Christian families, consecrated men and women, who in character and life shall exhibit the sweet spirit of the Man of Nazareth, who by example and precept shall show a more excellent way, and presently error will depart, and iniquity hide its head abashed. Let the various denominations combine and co-operate against the common foe in that silent yet most effective way, and the Mormon Puzzle will be solved, and solved forever. Let us all labor to this end. "O Christ, our land for thee; Naught less we crave, That Thou supreme mayst be From wave to wave. Naught less we ask of Thee, Our prayer unceasingly, Our land for Thee, All, all for Thee." THE END. _A NEW BOOK BY JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE._ _SWEET CICELY._--A story of the Josiah Allen's Wife's Series. Of thrilling interest. Over 100 illustrations, 12mo, cloth, $2.00. "Josiah Allen's Wife" has always been a shrewd observer of human nature as it reveals itself in the round of homely, every day life, and the keen sarcasm and adroit humor with which she lays bear its foibles, its weaknesses and its grotesque outcroppings has rarely, if ever, been equaled. The strong feature of all Miss Holley's humor, is its moral tone. The present work will treat the "temperance sentiment" in new phase--that of a semi-humorous novel. SOME OPINIONS OF "JOSIAH ALLEN'S WIFE": _The Woman's Journal_, Boston: "The keen sarcasm, cheerful wit and cogent arguments of her books have convinced thousands of the 'folly of their ways,' for wit can pierce where grave counsel fails." _The Herald_, New York: "Her fun is not far-fetched, but easy and spontaneous. She is now witty, now pathetic, yet ever strikingly original." _The Home Journal_, New York: "She is one of the most original humorists of the day."
