Show 5. Higher institutions of Utah which are under Mormon control. <br> Now, what are Christian people doing to counterbalance the mischievous influence of this false system, Well, the Presbytery denomination has 19 Mission day schools and 4 Academies. In each of the latter there are about 100 students, and about 800 in the day schools - 1200 in all. In addition, the Congregational denomination has 2 Academies and about 125 students. And the Episcopal denomination has a school for girls. <br> Is it any wonder that the Christian workers in Utah are anxious to secure a Christian college to counterbalance the pernicious influence of these Mormon schools, and to help rescue the young men and women of Utah from the bondage of a false religion. Our experience shows that if we had a well-equipped College building, we should soon have plenty of students, for there is no other Protestant Christian college within 700 miles <br> There is a great deal of wealth in Salt Lake City, but it's not in Christian hands. Hence in carrying on our College event, we are coupalled** to appeal to Christian men and women outside of Utah. It is** a cause which appeals to both patriotism and religion, For it would certainly be a National disaster to allow the false system of Mormonism to secure permanent control of 5 or 6 great states here in the heart of the West, as it is aiming to do. <br> There is great need of money to meet current expenses and keep our College work going. If I did not fully realize the great importance of this college enterprise, I should week to be relieved from it, for the difficulties connected with it are very great, and the work is hard. <br> I hope that you are in good health, and that all your family are well. May the Lord bless and prosper you <br><br> Heartily yours, <br> R.G McNiece <br><br> Everything now points to the election, by the coming Utah Legislation, of the Mormon Church candidate for U.S. Senator, namely, Reed Smoot of Provo, one of the 12 apostles. The candidate for the Lower House of Congress on each party ticket is also a Mormon. Do you see the Mormon Church is running the political affairs of the State with a high hand. <br><br><br> **Transcriber uncertain of words written <br><br> |
