Mr. and Mrs. Sidney J. Wil-

Mrs. Williams parents, Mr. and
Mrs. M. F. Glenn.
Inasmuch as there come fre-
quently into our city certain
ones who style themselves:
Latter Day Saints,” (Better
“Missionaries of the Church of
known as “Mormons”) I take it
upon myself to publish a few
statements with reference to
this “Damnable heresy”, which
if unchecked would undermine
•the very foundations of our civil
government, and blot out Chris-
tianity itself. Do not smile at
these assertions* for they are
abundantly proven by quotations
from their own writers and
preachers. •
Thejjeal teachings of Mormon
ism dMiot appear in the care-
■Jr fully camouflaged literature
which they distribute from door
to door, or in the steratyped ad- •
dresses, abundantly interlarded
with Scriptural quotations,
which their apostles make on the
streets. In order to delude an
unsuspecting public they say.
“We believe the Bible to be the
Word of God, so far as it is cor-
rectly translated.” Then they
send everywhere their dupes to
Itell us what the Bible teaches,
and some of these presumptuous
upstairs cannot even use the
English language in a commend-
able style. The centuries of re-
search by competent scholars,
who know the languages from
which our Scriptures are taken,
and their testimony to the credi
bility of our Bible count
naught with these would
scholars who brazenly tell
how the Word of God should be
translated.
In this brief article I can only
touch upon some of the things
which are believed by this hereti
cal cult, and these beliefs are not
what they deceptively proclaim
to an uninformed public but they
are the rather as sugar coated
pills inside of which are deadly
poisons.
First let me quote from one
of their own writers as to their
attitude toward our government.
“The kingdom of God (by
which he means the Mormon
priesthood) is an order of gov-
ernment established by Divine
authority—All other govern-
ments are illegal and unauthor-
ized—Any people attempting to
govern themselves by aws of
their own making and by officers
of their own appointment, are in
(direct rebellion against the king
dom of God.” (Orison

BROWNSVILLE, Dec. 22—
Ex-soldiers have renewed the
fight on the threatened Oriental
invasion of the Rio Grande Val-
ley. The committee composed
mostly of American Legion mem
bers is expected to go to Austin
when the Legislature convenes
in January, to promote the pas-
sage of Senator Bledsoe’s Bill
making a sale or lease if land
non assimiable people unlawful.
Feeling ran high at a meeting
of the residents of the valley
last night. Concerted action
pledged. It is rumored that a
sale of three hundred acres to
the Japs near Harlingen has
been consumated by F. Z. Bishop
