This looks like pretty good recon-
mend
see the Teller correspondent from
r. r. would ike to have people draw
the conclusion that the Latter Day
Saints disturbed their Sunday even
ing service which is untrue. The
u. b. minister tried to press his re-
quest for half dollar to pay the
preacher. aud was told the Saints
support their ministers as the scrip
ture requires, which is to pay one
tenth Of our earnings to the Lord, or
tything as the scripture calls it, but
the churches OF today say in actions,
if not in words, our way not thine
Oh Lord be done in paying the
preacher As in many other things.
Let it be remembered that this com
versation took place before the preach
ing commenced The Latter Day
Saints are as much opposed to dis
turbance during religious services as
any denomination, realizing that the
constitution OF the United States
grants everybody the right to wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF
their conscience, but they differ from
some denominations in regard to
having their faith examined while
they are always anxious to have any
one ask them questions at any time
concerning their belief about the
scripture Some denominations are
not willing to have their faith exam
med. They make the excuse that
it is unscriptural to argue about
religion perhaps forgetting that in
the book OF Jude it says Contend
earnestly for the faith once delivered
to the Saints. They also forget that
Christ's mother found him in the
temple questioning the doctors when
he was but boy While the Saints
do not claim to be Christ they do
claim to follow his example in doc
trine closer than any other church
whatever its name may be. The fol-
lowing poem would not be out of
place perhaps c nsidering the fire.
