the state and the state may take cog
nizance of the organization of the
church. Those who advocate the sec
ond say the state gains its power and
right only from the church and is only
the instrument of the great divine
will. Others recognize the church ana
state have separate spheres. They
say the church should exist unnoticed
by the state. Mankind, by the test OF
experience, has learned the worth OF
these various relationships. The his
tory of Constantine and Henry VIII
shows the vice that may come out or
the domination of the church by the
state, because ministers should re-
prove the prince as we'll as the pau
per.
The evils of the domination of the
church over the state are illus
traced by Aesop's fable of The camel,
which, asking to put its head IN the
tent and then came in and put It's

You may tell your people we have
solved this problem and what we have
written in our state constitution which
we mean to keep inviolate, is in har-
mony with the United States Constitu-
tilon. But it is not always the fault
of the church that they come into
politics. In politics there are men Who
are not above trucking to ecclesiastical
fiuence is never seen by them until 1t
is used for the other party. Let our
politicians resent influence used for
them as we'll as against them and there
will be no difficulty about church and
state in Utah. CCheers).
