'''Mr. J. S. Perkins''', formerly assistant manager of the [[Herald Square Hotel]], New York, and at present associated with the [[Marlborough Hotel]], 36-37 Broadway, New York, pays the following splendid tribute to the character of the Latter-day Saints, particularly do his statements apply to the missionaries whom he has principally entertained. He says in a letter to Mr. [[W. C. Spence]] of Salt Lake City:

:"During the past twenty-five years I have roomed possibly ten thousand 'Mormons,' and wish to say that I have never known one of them to leave a hotel with his bill unpaid, nor did I ever see one of them under the influence of liquor, two cardinal virtues which I think might be successfully copied by communicants of other denominations. I have no particular creed myself, other than a firm belief in the Ten Commandments and future rewards and punishments. I firmly believe that every man has a right to worship God in his own way, under his own vine and fig tree as he may see fit, with no one to molest or make him afraid."
