The Innovation of the Methodists in Pitching Their Big Tent in Salt Lake City

The innovation of the Methodists in pitching their big tent in Salt Lake City and holding anti-Mormon meetings in the very citadel of Mormonism and polygamy, and bearding the lion in his lair, reminds us of the days when Bishop Asbury and Hedding traveled, through the country fighting the devil physically and spiritually. In the presence of Brigham Young himself the methodist preachers now in Salt Lake City, pitch into the chief Mormon and his polygamy religion unmercifully. The Rev. Messrs. Newman and Boole are only the skirmishers—the solid line of battle to fight Mormonism is coming up presently.
