2216.—Latter-Day Saints.

By Editor

Is there any difference between the church of Latter-Day Saints with headquarters at Lamoni, Iowa, who have Joseph Smith, Jr., as their leader, and the body located at Salt Lake City, Utah, whose founder was Brigham Young? W. R.

We would say there is a difference, altho both claim as their founder Joseph Smith. That Joseph Smith taught polygamy is quite evident, and yet the Iowa branch claim that he did not, and do not themselves practise it. The Salt Lake branch have both practised and defended it.
