SALT LAKE, Jan. 6-John Taylor, ~
Mormon President delivered another h
cendiary sermon Sunday in the Tabernacle
declaring that the Mormons would practices
polygamy despite law and court decisions.
He said it was the duty of the Saints 10
honor and sustain the officers Of the Gov
ernment, both by faith and prayers and
obedience to the laws OF the Nation, bat
when the laws were made to curtaif tho
Saints in the exercise of their faith as God
revealed II, it became their duty to obey
the commandments of God and leave The
results In His hands He called for an ex-
preston as to whether the Mormons would
practice their religion and every part Of II,
polygamy and all, regardless of the laws
The immense audience responded with IN
enthusiastic "Ayep' and unanimous
showing of hands. The thinking classes ol
Mormons are much annoyed at these rad
ical utterances of Taylor, though the great
mass of the church-members heartily ap.
prove this kind Of talk. There are rnmorz
of division in the church official circles
Orson Pratt, one of the Apostles, put
fourth his claim TO preside over the twelve,
while John Taylor wants to be elected
President over the Church instead of re
naming President Of the Apostles Dele
gate Cannon's late visit here was in connec
tion with the threatened split among thA
church leaders.
