A name immortal on the sacred page,

And dwelt the while with sick and poor,
Or begged my way from door to door.

tOnsOrted much with thief and knaye-
or led the erring from their sin.
And fed the famished, weak and thin.

To the officers and Mem

da,y saints in Confer
eRce assembled:
BELOVED BRETHREN
AND SISTERS:-lt Is EN-
inently proper, under
the circumstances, not
being able to be with
YOU in person at our
Annual Conference,
that we should address
YOU a few lines and eX-
press to you our faith,
feelings and hopes
concerning the great
work of our God in
which we are all mu-
tually inte res tie d.
Never at any time in
our lives have we had
more joy and satisfac-
ton in the Gospel and
in the labOrs thereof
than we have at the
present time. Pro
foundly grateful to our
God for His kindness
TO us in permitting us
To have Il name and a
place among His peO-
pie, and to be the bear
ers of His everlasting
Priesthood, we are de-
termined with His
help to press forward
with increased dill
gence and zeal in do,
ing our part towards
the carrying on OF His
purposes and Ork.
We know that His
power is with us, that
His angels have charge
concerning us, and
that no afflictiOn can
fall upon any one,
however h u IN b ! e,
without il being fully
known to Him. This
knowledge that God Is
near to US, and hears
and answers our pray
ers, is an unceasing
cause of thankfulness
and praise.
As the male men,
bers of our Church
VINO practice plural
marriage are estimated
as not exceeding but
little, if any. two per
cent. of the whole
membership of the
Church, we consider it
an act of great injus-
tice to the ninety-eight
per cent. to be abused
and outraged and have
all their business rela-
tions disturbed, values
of every kind unset
tie d, neighborhoods
agitated and alarmed,
and the property of the
people generally jeop-
ardiZed, because of
this raid" upon these
alleged breakers OF the
law.
The statement of
how small a portion of
the males is engaged
in this practice, ex-
hibits in the cleareSt
light how destitute of
foundation are the
charges made against
us respecting this in
StitutiOn threatening
the mOnogamic form
of marriage, claimed
TO be the feature of the
present civilization.
1t is averred by some
of our enemies that
this is not religion.
This is not the view,
of the mem
bers of the Utah Com
mission, for they have
said:
"This article of faith
is as much an essential
and substantial part
Of their creed as their
belief in baptism, re-
pentance for the for
giveness of sins, and
the like. And again:
"All orthodox Nor

amy to be right, and

Trial by jury in the

cusation is equivalent

They firmly believe
that God has revealed
this TO them as a com

triarchal marriage, as
IL is termed, is a part
OF their faith and prac-

that il should become
universal. The equal

other reason, would
prevent this. It is a
mistaken idea that our

Seeing no prospect of
fair trial, men have
deemed it better to
avoid arrest for a sea-
son, or until there was
a prospect of receiving
impartial treatment by
the courts and juries.
The burden of proof
has rested upon the ac-
cused in almost every
instance = the Judge,
the jury, equally with
the prosecution, ap-
pearing to view him as
guilty, and that it was
his duty to furnish all
the proof necessary to
eXculpate him from the
accusation of guilt.
Juries have been Sc
lected for the express
purpose of cOnvicting
men who are promi-
nent in the Church;
and their partisan bias
has become so thor
oughly known in the
community that the
common expression is,
that an accusation in
the courts, as now con-
stituted, is equivalent
To a conviction.

Among the princi-
pies of our religion is
that of immediate
revelation from God;
one of the doctrines so
revealed is celestial or
plural marriage, for
which ostensibly we
are stigmatized and
hated. This is a vital
part of our religion,
the decisions of the
courts to the contrary
II otw it h S tandi ng.
Even the Utah Com
mission conceded this.
In their report to the
Secretary of the In
terror, November, 1884,
speaking of plural
marriage they say:
This article of their
faith is as much an
essential and Substan-
tial part of their creed
as their belief in bap-
tISm, repentance for
the forgiveness of sins,
and the like. = 4 4
All orthodox Mormons
believe polygamy to
be right, and that it is

Men, fearful of not
obtaining justice in the
courts, are evading ar
rest, believing no fair
and impartial trial can
be had under the eX-
listing circumstances.

Contrary to good law,
persons accused of
crime are esteemed
guilty until they prove
themselves innocent.

We complain of the
Injustice done us by
the United States Off
cials sent TO execute
the laws; they have
generally allied them
selves with sectarian
priests and political
adventurerS, lending
their executive or iu-
dicial influence to fo-
ment local excitement.
and degrade us in the
estimation of the peo-
pie abroad.
There is no paral-
lei to this, either in
