the Litlsf-day Saints pulnit-that the
Gospel hal again boon restored 10 the
earth; nevertheless, II was true, ana
when We raid that It had teen res.

been removed from the earth for very
long feriod OF time. Having bcen re-
stored 10 US through the Prophet
Joseph Smith, we had the promise That
itw0uld now remain until the final
coming Of the Rcdecmer. In the
promise given unto the Latter.lhy
Saints through the founder OF their
faith the prophecy OF Daniel was 10.
erred 10, wherein he predicted that nj
aiulure time the Kingdom should be
established upon the earth, "neveT-
more 10 be thrown down nor given 10
another people" The speaker referred
10 what he termed certain factions
which had broken Oh from the Church
OF Christ In our dry. Since II was es.
tlbllshed In the yenr 1882, no fewer
than sixteen distinct organizations or
churches hud ApTung out Of II. A
