MORMONISM IN ONTARIO.

ALARM concerning the progress of Mormonism is beginning to prevail in Ontario. In the political canvass now going on the usual forecasting of the attitude of the several religious interests is made, and the estimate based upon it, that before the year passes away there will be 100,000 avowed Mormons in the province, is now thought to be within the mark. This result is confirmed through inquiries made by the Presbyterian Review. “It is said that meetings are being held in the small halls and schoolhouses, and that they are crowded with excited audiences, who are carried away by the eloquence of the Mormon missionaries.” The method of operating seems to have been carefully planned, and “the efforts have been successful beyond what can be easily credited by the average reader.”—Christian Advocate.
