Taylor's Mormon Talk

SALT LAKE, Feb. PRESIDENT John
Taylor spoke in the tabernacle yester-
day. He referred to his recent trip and
said the saints are being prosecuted in
Arizona and sent to an American Sibe-
ria for living their religion. He spoke of
the federal officers here as sneaks and
tramps, intruding with process from
the courts into the homes Of the people,
which was hard to bear.
Patience might cease to be virtue,
yet they will stand it little longer.
He didn't want blood to flow, but there
would be a change before long. The
prosecutions were making some of the
saints think of going to foreign coun-
try to preserve religious liberty. There
might be another pilgrim day. He
said the saints were illegally piinisbed
at home and killed in the southern
states, where no one was punished for
numbering Mormon missionaries.
