The people represented by the writer of thin article, known as the Unorganized Church of Jeans Christ of Latter Pay Haints, is a coutin ualion of the oiiginal church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, -organized by Joseph Smith ii 1830. Vpm the death of Joseph Smith in 1844 Urigham Young, who was then president of the Twelve Apoa ilea, assumed the presidency of the church without even the formality of an ordinatitn, which was con trary to the laws of the church, Thia right clearly belonged to Jo- aeph Smith, who bad been legally appointed by bia father aa bia auc cessor. It ia estimated that the church at thia time numbered from 150. 4 XX) to 200,000 persona. In view ' of the above named departure from the faith and laws of the church many of the Latter Day Saints repudiated Brigham Young and company, not more than 20,000 while'some put it at 10,000) fol lowed him to Utah. Those thus dissenting from the leadership and false teachings of Brigham Young and others, reorganized under the presidency of Joseph Smith, and became incorporated under tbe laws of Illinois and Iowa, and ia recognized by tbe United States courts aa being tbe legal and law All continuation of tbe original church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, organized by Joseph! Smith in 1830, and entitled to all its rights and property. "And the court does further find that the plaintiff, the Reorganized Church o!

We believe that these ordinances are: First, Faith in God and Lord Jesus Christ: Second, Repentance; Third, Baptism by immersion lor the remission of sins; Fourth, laying on of the hands of the gift of the Holy Ghost; Fifth, We be- lieve in the resurrection of the body, that the dead in Christ will rise first, and the rest of tne dead will not live again until the thousand years have expired; Sixth, We be lieve in the doctrine of Eternal Judgment, which provides that men shall be judged, rewarded, or punished, according to the degree of good, or evil they have done. We believe that a man must be called of God, and ordained by the laying of Hands of those who are in authority, to entitle him to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. We believe in the same kind of I organization that existed in the primitive church, viz: Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evang elists, etc. We believe tbat in the Bible is contained the word of God, so far as it is translated correctly. We believe tbat the cannon of scripture is not full, but that God, by His Spirit, will continue to reveal Hi's word to man until the end of time. We believe in tho powers and gifts of Everlasting, viz.
