Coming To The Point�William Smith, only brother of the late Mormon Prophet, has been preaching lately at New Bedford. The Bulletin says he concluded one of his discourses in the following emphatic words:�"Brethren, I will say here, for the credit of the audience, that at our last meeting I collected some two dollars, while at the same time the expenses of the hall were six dollars. Now, I wish in ail soberness to assure you, my dear friends, of one solemn truth, and that is, that rather than pay all expenses, preach for nothing and find myself into the bargain, I will see the whole generation damned first!"
