The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1882-04-08

is lust the same as we had to do this
morning when out in the snow
storm, just round up our shoulders
turn up our coat collars and let TIE
wind blow and the storm exhaust
itself. and when the bowling sur
rounds us who the devil cares
After the storm subsidies the sun
shines and everything is pleasant
and joyful. In Far West we had I
rough experience and a few had
some little fears and creepy feelings
but we lived through 1t and the
kingdom survived and grew. we
were loyal to the government under
ali orr prosecutions, and there is no
other place IN the United States
where the people are as loyal and
revere the Constitution as right
here in this territory. We
are trying to do good and keep
on doing right and be patriotic and
sustain the Constitution and the
country. We sometimes do too
much good, [ think, when taking
info consideration the circum-
stances that surround US. We have
had come in our midst some profess
sedIy very piOus people, but they
encourage WhOredOm, they encOur-
age the social evil, they fight
against sobriety and make it very
difficult for the city councils to keep
down the liquor business; yet they
say we are lOathSOme. These DiOuS
people claim to be virtuous people
and truthful people. Now, [ would
not pollute the stores of these peo-
pie with my presence. I might in
jure their goods, and I would say
that we had better keep among our
own people and trade among our
selves, There are persons who send
carriages and wagons here and we
pay for them thousands and thou
sands of dollars, yet these persons
cannot raise finger in our behalf.
I wouldn't ride in their carriages.
We have lots of fair weather
friends, but they are not CT much
use: still there are some outSpOken
friends. 1 was pleased with the
senators and representative IN the
late discussion of the Ed
munds bill who were possessed of
manhood enough to stand by their
oaths and say they could not sane
ton such a measure; there is little
salt in the United States yet, and
though they may want to cast us
off we will not cast them off. Many
are jealous of our organization and
think we have a different organiZa-
ton to anybody else; SO we
have, but we did not get
it from the United States, nor from
England, nor from any man, but
from God, and it is good and true. [
feel like saying again, as [ said yes
terday, HalleIujah. the Lord God
omnipotent reigneth and will con-
tinue to reign until he has put his
enemies under his feet. So we can
do right, and a part of that right
is to keep from pOlluting these
traders here. In the meantime we
will keep cur coat collars up and
wait until the storm passes over.
Some Of our kind friends have Sug-
geSted that we cast our wives off !;
but orr feelings are different to
that. We are bound tothem for time
and eternity, we have cOvenanted
befo!e high heaven TO do it, and l
feel like saying in the name of
Israel's God we will keep them, and
let all say Amen. A loud and
hearty Amen was given by the con-
gregation. We may have to nestle
behind a hedge while the storm is
passing over, but let us be true to
to our wives, our families
and our God and all will be well.
