lief in the atoning blood of Christ
through which the' resurrect ion wiil Im

scripture doctrine 'Who so sheddeth
man's blood by man shall Us blood be

The nt elements made by two car three
uxistate Mormon witnesses to the effect
that the endowment ceremonies involved
the death penalty upon those who
leave the church and disobey the priest
hood are simply untrue. There b
no accounting for the bitterness and
untmthfulnesa of noma men
who have been connected with
an organisation especially religious and
have turned again it it. The Catholic
and other churches have had much to
contend with in that hast
