Progress of Mormonism.—In Boston a church was formed in March last of little more than 30 members: the congregation has become large, and a great many have been obliged to turn away in consequence of the crowds which attend.
In Chelsea, near Boston, a beginning has been made, and one has been baptized.
In Salem and vicinity about 70 have been baptized. In Medfield, Medway, Cape Cod, and many other places, meetings are held, and the Boston minister says there was never such a demand for preachers, or such a readiness among the people to receive the truth!
The missionaries of the prophet at Nauvoo are making progress in New Hampshire; it is said 20 were baptized in the town of Peterborough, in one day; and that the Mormon church in Peterborough, Gilsum, and vicinity, numbers in all above 100.—Cong. Journal.
