Utah and Palestine Compared

By Editor

IN the first editorial, reference is made to the fact that in order to complete the analogy between Utah and Palestine, the lake from which the "Jordan" River, in Utah, rises is called by the Mormons, the Sea of Galilee; Salt Lake, into which the river flows, is, of course, the Dead Sea; and Salt Lake City is Jerusalem! The analogy seems to be quite perfect, with the exception of the name of the city. If we are not mistaken, the most noted city near the Dead Sea in ancient times was Sodom.
