We, the Latter Day Saint Elders, find in traveling through this section of the country that the majority of public school houses are closed against us. Why is it? We want you, with all words ot sobernesH, to give us a hearing, as Isiah says: "To the law and the Testimony if we speak not accord ing to this then there is no light in us." There are two sides to the Mormon question, while only one and that the opposite side has been told quite extensively, and from this the character of nearly half a million people (as been judged. . We are somewhat sur prised at finding so many people built on the narrow gauge plan. Be generous and just in your judgments and do as the Apostle Paul says, "Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good." Trusting this will meet with the approval of the people and especi ally with the directors of the different school districts. We are yours for truth. B. N. Winnard, Peter Neilben. A Keen Clear Brain.
