The Desert News, the Utah organ of mormouism, Jan. 17, gives the following confession from a suUn-beguiled prophet:I have made various predictionsi »which I have printed in leaflet j form and sent forth as purporting I to come from a Seventy. These I have received a somewhat extrusive circulation among thp latter-day saints. I desire t«» humbly iask thp forgiveness of mv brethren Iand sisters iti the church or Jesus ,I Christ of latter-day saints Cor this ; wrong which 1 have done. 1 can i only say in pdlitatiou of my of- | fense, that satan deceived me and j actually caused me to suppose 1 i had a mission to circulate these i predictions, and 1 verily thought I ! was doing the lord’s service in the 1 matter. I now ye my folly and wickedness, and wish luy confession to be as public and as widely known as my pretended prophecies have been. And I humbly ask the forgiveness of the lord for this grevious sin of which I have been guilty, and also my brethren and sisters, whom I have attempted to mislead in this way. Trusting that 1 shall obtain the desired forigiv-eoess, I remain very humbly,Abixadi Pratt.
