Long enough, O women of America, have your Mormon sisters beenblasphemed!
From the day that they, in the name and fear of the Lord theirGod, undertook to "build up Zion," they have been persecuted forrighteousness sake: "A people scattered and peeled from the beginning."
The record of their lives is now sent unto you, that you may have anopportunity to judge them in the spirit of righteousness. So shall yoube judged by Him whom they have honored, whose glory they have sought,and whose name they have magnified.
Respectfully,
EDWARD W. TULLIDGE.
