Quite Too Pious!

By Editor

Not long since we had occasion to call attention to an abuse of our property, by other parties appropriating to their own use our "distributers" in which our publications are placed. These cost time, money, and in some cases we have to pay for the privilege of putting them up in "advertising space" in public places. In our former notice we exonerated the "holiness people," though the individual at fault was preaching holiness. The reference made to certain parties in this city was to the Mormons, but we believe they have reformed and are no longer abusing our property. Our complaint now is of those who publish the "Day Dawn papers," who are the most cheeky of all people. Our colporters find our distributers emptied of our publications and literally filled with papers and tracts of that people. We have some time been aware that they have progressed in "holiness" until they have got entirely beyond the law of God! But we would admonish them that they are not beyond the reach of the law of the State.
