Mormon Missionary Progress
English religious organizations of every denomination are reported as becoming alarmed at the progress made by the Mormon missionaries in that country. Three hundred are said to be at work in the island, and they claim to have made 150,000 English converts in seven years. On the continent and in the British colonies they are no less active. They are said to be working successfully in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Turkey, Greece, and in all Australia and New Zealand. They are said to be the only sect that is making headway among the Japanese. Of course they have advantages in the Old Country which they do not have in this. Many of their converts are poor, with very little prospect of bettering their condition, and the glowing reports of the great West no doubt have many times very much to do in seducing them to leave home and come to this country.
