Those gentlemen are laboring under a mistake, as no such doctrine has been taught in this city. A branch of the church, consisting of nine members, was organized on the 27th of April, in Lewiston, Niagara co. N. Y. by elder Walter N. Hurd. Elder John Small, was chosen president of the branch, and James C. Sly, Clerk.
