Two Mormon Elders have for the past two or three weeks been tramping over portions of Anderson Countjr, going from bouse to house, and scattering their tracts and papers. We have not heard of them preaching anywhere in the County, though they have made several efforts to secure plates for that purpose. Last Sat? urday afternoon they called at Mr. J. C. Koys' home, two miles West of the city, and inquir 3d the direction to a citizens' houso in that neighborhood. One of them handed Mr. Joe iCeys a end, on one side of which was printed, "W. G. Craguu, Tyner, Utah," and on the other side were the articles of faith of the church of the Latter-day Saints. That evening, aftor dark, they jailed at the homo of Mr. Joe Js. Hillhousc, about six mile? West of the city, and a:ter telling him that they were "ministers of the gospel," traveling with? out money or provisions, begged accom? modations for the night. Mr. Uillhouse very kindly took them in. He says they are both yenug men, are neatly dressed, very polite and are well educated. We adviso our people not to countenance or encourage ?heso tramps. They represent j a religion taat decent, respectable people! abhor, and they should he made to un? derstand that they will not be allowed to ' promulgate their vile teachings ]among our people . This can oo done in a re? spectful munucr, and the sooner it is done the bettor it will be for our County. Wo venture if our rural citizens will not give them lodging, they will not tarry long in our midst, Anderson has again been visited by that terribledes".rojfer?fire?and another beau? tiful dwelling house reduced to ashes. The house, which was situated on Orr streetj belooged to Mrs. W. E. Earle, of Washington, D. C, and was occupied by Mr. C. H. S trickland. The firo was dis? covered about 2 o'clock last Friday morn? ing. Mr. Strickland's family were in Charleston at the time, though he and Mr. Dick Soligman were asleep in the house that night. Mr. Seligman was first awak? ened by the intense smoke in the room. Ha awoke Mr. Strickland, and they bad to flee to tho yard to don their clothing, on accouu'u of the intense smoke. The alarm was promptly given, and it was but a few Minutes before tho Pioneers re? sponded w.th tho steamer and hose reel. The ueares; cistern was the one on Depot street. The hose was stretched, but it was not long enough to reach to the building, aad all the hose in the engine Louse was brought out. This, however, was insufiioient by a few yards, and the firemen saw that the}' could not check the tlames. By this time the fire had gained rapidly, but had the firemen had sulU cient hose ihero is no doubt but that they would have saved the building. They worked manfully, and deserve much praise for thoir efforts. Mr. Strickland's loss is quito heavy. He had recently fur? nished the house throughout with new and elogar t furniture, a few pieces of which, together with his piano, were saved. Ail of his silverware and the wearing apparel of his family were de? stroyed. His furniture was insured lor SjOO?, which will about cover ono-half of hi3 loss. The houso was a verj' substan- j rial one, and cost about $2,501). It was j insured for $I,tJU0. Tho cause of the fire is unknown, as is also what portion of the house it originated in.

After the i services, tho congregation dispersed and I betook their several ways for the con- i sideration of the all abounding and all-I important "thanksgiving turkey." At 1 ;..jc Feruak College, Dr. and Mrs." Lander j hud provided a bill of fare to whose ex- : cellouce a id abundance it required the combined efforts of the half-a-hundred young ladies, and the invited guests of j the College household, to do anything like justice. Tile young ladies of the col lego I were enjoying a holiday, which altogether unusual fact prepared thorn to enter into tho observance of the occasion with the true zest and spirit. Tho Rev. R. H.

The United States branch of the great Alliance has issued an address with a programme of subjects and services, and invites the attention of all Evangeli? cal Christi;.-is to it. In iiself, nothing could bo more appro? priate than that on the first week of each one of thos? brief circles of time we are spend, ng jn this globe, all Christians throughout the world should hold world's concert of prayer. It is to belt the globe with an appeal to Him ''from whom all Hessings flow," and to inaugu? rate tie ysar's work and the year's pro? gress with prayer to-God for His blessing upon all ot r industrial, civil and religious enterprise. Last year we omitted a for? mal part in this great concert. Let us re? sume our i lace in it on January next. It has beoc attended through many years past with extended religious awakenings in casos too numerous to mention, in col? leges t.nd c.ty congregations, North and South. It was especially marked last year with ; ovivals continuing as late as the m rath of March, and with a greater numbor ol accessions to the Churches than we La re ever read of before. Christiar activity and effort is more widely aw ike than it has ever been known to be on sr. extended a scale. Tho very same agei oies of industrial and social poiicj' wh.ch are drawing nations and peoples an I countries closer together are uniting the hearts and efforts of all Chris? tians together in religious thought and purpose to compass the globe with the blessings cf Christianity. It is eminent? ly becomicg and wise to unite in prayer embracing the same topics and at the same time .vith all believers around the earth. Tl o remotest missionaries will kneel with us. The latest redeemed sav? ages of Samoa, Now Guinea or Labrador will be with us in the concert. Ethiopia and tho Is*cts of the soa will "stretch out their liand;i unto God" with us during that week, and the illuminated centres of Christian :iviliaation, with those feeble and jjliminoring lights that aro now kindling it tho "habitations of cruelty," will conspire to give volume to a world's adoration. In the great complication of a world's commerce and the liability to new forms of evil and of danger, never wasitmorj timoly to pray and to pray together. Wishing to call the atteution of our fel? low-Christ ans at present to the Week of Prayer, timely arrangements will bo made for tl o union service hereafter. D. E. P.
