/ entered into this discussion after
careful consideration of its prob
able effects upon all concerned, and
to represent in their true light, a
God fearing people who have been
unjustly maligned, misrepresented
and looked upon as the ignorant
offscourings of the world, mainly on
account of the wicked and unlawful
practices of small apostate faction
which was led to Utah by the apos-
tate and usurper Brigham Young,
who unlawfully claimed the name
and to be the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. These PERM
cious and unchristian doctrines and
practices with their advocates were
repudiated and denounced by the
true and Recognized Church. This
people invite careful and critical in
vestigation, as they are the true and
restored Church of Christ in every
particular, and we ask all to defer
judgment until they have given our
claims careful examination. This
explanation is TO those who do not
know the difference between us and
the Utah people.
l have carefully considered what
DR.. Hammond, no doubt in his UNI
regenerated blindness, believes 70 be
a genuine Christian retraction of his
injurious, untruthful and unchrstian
statements, when he made the sweep
ing and unqualified assertion that
"none" preached the gospel, that
all were hirelings and preachers of
the doctrines and commandments of
men, in eloquent essays upon other
than gospel subjects. DR.. II. in his
little, narrow, contracted, unchris-
tian apology, says: eff Elder Haws
breaches faith, repentance and i'm
mnrsion in order to become child
of God and an heir of heaven, then
so far he is right" DR.. III. knew
when he made his unjust assault that
none of the above named accusations
were applicable to us, for l had not
only told him differently my self, but
had given him an epitome of our faith,
III which our faith and doctrines are
fully set forth, an abIidgment of
which l here give to show that DR..
H. cannot plead ignorance as an ex-
cuse for his ungodly accusations:
''We believe in God the Eternal
Father, and in his Son Jesus Christ,
and In the Holy Ghost. Matt. 28:19.
l John %. St. John 1925.
"We believe that men will be pun
ished for their own sins, and not for
Adams transgression. Fec. 12:14.
Matt. 1927. | Cor. 1913. Rev.
20: 12-15.
"We believe that, through the
atonement of Christ, all men may be
saved by obedience to the laws and
ordinances of the gospel. l Cor.
1853. Tim. lilo. Rom. 8 :1-6.
"We believe that these ordinances
are:-
"(1st). Faith in God and in the
Lord Jesus Christ. Heb. 1l:6. l
Pet. l :21. Tim. 4.10. John 3:16,
IS, 3G. Mark 1892. John 14:1.
"(2d). Repentance. Matt. 3:2,

1880. Mark IS, 10. Acts 1888.
Rom. "a. 2 Cor. 7;l0.
$3.50. Baptism by immersion
for the remission of sins. Matt.
3:13-15. Mark "A, 5. Luke 1913.
John IS. Acts 2:38; 2:16; al i;
SIP, 81, SO. Mark :16. Col.
Pip. Rom. GA, 5. John 1928.

"(4th). Laying on of hands for

34:9. John 20:21, %. Acts SLY !;
1886. Tim. Ala. Acts 9:l7. l
Cor. 1873. Acts 10: To-"
| therefore refuse to accept of the
above-named retraction and say that
DR.. H. has in this matter shewn him
self to be what feared he would
(.e.), precept Christian. He
therefore is reprehensible for bring
ing such untruthful and railing ac-
cusations against others, which the
Archangel burst not bring against
the devil. See Jude 9th verse.
DR.. H., come to the front and do
yourself and us justice by making
an open and exemplary confession,
which is good for the soul. The
other portion of DR.. HIS article l
will review later.
