Elder Penrose spoke. II was fegu-
lar Mormon service, such as you hear
any sunday. After benedlctiun the
choir rendered. some OF lts best NUM-
bers and the organist. Joseph j,
Daynes,played few choice selections.

ginning this concert was held out as
the chief attraction after visiting Salt
air II was so advertised through the
Associated Press dispatches IN AL the
papers III the United states and Can
ada. and in all the religious periodl-
Gals, The Mormon church was
asked for the use OF theTabernacle,
President woodruff not only told
them they could have II for one day,
but as long as they wished to use it.
He gave the choir; he had the Toher-
nacle decorated with bunting, flags,
a
expense; ne hnu ms men (Murmons)
do the work. and gave strict tnstruc-
tions TO let the committee OF 1891 have
all they wanted. Saltalr company,
Mormon Institution. agreed to give
the Endeayorers % per cent of all re-
ceipts to help them defray expenses.
All these courtesies We're accepted by
the committee OF 1877. Ana when the
Mormonh In turn asked the privilege OF
giving the visiting Endeavorers
welcome or greeting service prior to
the big rally they were ilatly refused.
The Mormon people felt kindly to-
ward the Gentiles and were anxious
to have their young people meet our
young people and to extend courtesles.
Our local EndeaNorers were not TO
blame for this. they were powerless.
The gentlemen composing the exeCu-
tive committee were Mormon haters,
and they opposed the others from be-
ginning to end. Disscnsion character
lied every meeting, and reporters
and outsiders were barred so the world
should not know of their squabbles
over this Mormon question.
