RELIGIOUS.
Every religious denomination is repre-
sented in Salt Lake city 5 churches. Then
there is also the Young Mems Christian
association. Within the past few years
many OF the congregations have built
houses OF worship comparing fayorably
with those Of the largest cities in the
country. The Mormon tabernacle and
temple are too well known to necessitate
description. The services in the taber-
nacle, however, are especially interesting
and worthy OF mention, being conducted
somewhat differently from that OF any
other creed. A choir OF 800 voices is main
tanned and furnishes excellent music
No prepared sermons are delivered from
the pulpit, either of the tabernacle or the
Twenty third ward meeting houses,
which are auxiliary to the Mormon
church. Those who are requested to adj
dress the congregation must speak as
they may be impressed at the time they
are called upon.
The Mormon people believe pre-emi-
nently IN honesty, industry and integrity.
Their whole history from the first settle |
ment OF the terri tory IN July, IS47, to the |
present time, substantiates their Claims to |
having lived UP 10 these three important
principles, and the people who have made |
salt Lake city their home during the past |
lew years have found them ever willing to |
extend The right hand of good fellowship. |
We have emerged upon new era in the |
history of our city. Crseds and faiths |
there will ever be, the same as IN other |
cities, but the old prejudices have gradu-
ally melted away, and what remains IS but
the echo OF the last disappearing clements |
OF disturbance. Concord and harmony |
have gained the upper hand and with The |
merging OF the territory into q state |
which IS but u question of perhaps less |
than year, there Will be no questions to |
dispose OF but those bearing on the gen
eral prosperity of the city.
