Since my LAST, the great English lecturer,
Henry Vincent, Was here, and, securing tho
Tabernacle for the purpose, delivered his leo
ture on Cromwell. Brigham and the boys were
on the stand, Of course, and On the first out
break Of applause for the CAUSE Of free~
dom, President Smith [son Of John
smith) rose and told tho auaisncs that
this WAS not theatre, and, therefore, mp
plause was not in ordor.' The audience en-
deavored TO keep silence, but couldn't. Then
the King arose, and with the harHh voice OF
command cried ont, "Stop that applause!"
Whereupon, sayB Tulidge, in the Tribune:
" Tie orator made the souls OF his country
men rib1ate with responses when he struck
the most glorious theme Of our nAtyo land.
But those responses were repressed, tho
cheers from Engliehmen's hearts, whose
tongues have not dared to speak in Utah the
impulses OF liberty, we're choked back to their
th1obbIng eourco by the stern command
Stop that applause! It Was the same voice
md from the aame power that in the geven-
ieenth century cried to their fathers, Stop
that applause when they sent to the heavens
their shouts of hosannahs that liberty had
found her champions. Stop that applause,
cost the Stuarts their thrones time and timo
again, for they dared one after another. to
offend God and the people By it's repetition.

Tic fact is, normoui81n starts out by aflirm-
ing MI other eects to be In darkness, aud sys-
ternatica1ly destroys every vesdge Of respect
for them and their teachings in the neophyte's
mind. 50 that, whatever he may come to think
Of Mormonism, he can never again reverence
the cceeds and doctrines of the Christian
eects. He has gono through them, and in his
own fixed estimation, at least, dissipated
them into thin air. Brigham runs no risk Of
any Of these t'fa1se teachers leading astray
