There was a day of great rejoicing in the Mormon Camp some little time. ago. One of the Auckland converts had fallen away.. As usual, it was about the women. He openly declared that he had only joined them, in order to. find out what the Saints really believed. Now he has returned to the fold, and all is peace; He says that he never left them, ..but that he merely misunderstood some Avoids of Elder Sorensen. The formal reception of the backslider took place in a, private house, and the joyful excitement was so great' that one strapping young saint actually fell down in a fiif. Whereupon an elder, full of the spirit, gently touched him on ■ the shoulder, saying, "Arise, brother, be thou whole." The young man arose instantly, clothed, and once more in his right mind.
