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! Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, is the true and lawful
continuation of and successor to
the said original church of Jesns
Christ of latter Day Saints, organ
ized in 1830, and is entitled in law
to all its rights and property

One thing is certain,
Aycr's Hair Vigor makes
the hair grow. This is
because it is a hair food.
It feeds the hair and the

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. The gift
