Mormon Elders canvass in city for missions reach
Bilder Wrigham Gardner Jr of Afton Wyoming and Elder Thos G Reese of Beaver Utah have secured permission to canvass and distribute tracts for the Latter Day Saints. They will conduct house to house work and street meetings for about a month, with two street meetings weekly. They emphasize non solicitation and describe missionaries as volunteers from varied trades who devote years at their own expense. They deny polygamy and claim only a small minority previously practiced it. They aim to explain faith, build strong church organization, and not merely convert.
