| OF God on the basis of inspiration,
revocation and every principle OF right
/ eousness. 1t was shown clearly that
the temporal concerns of the Saints
We're inseparable from those that are
spiritual, the nature of man being both
physical and spiritual. Many profit
able suggestions were given as to the
best course to pursue to secure success
in the ordinary affairs of life, and
methods which led in the contrary di-
I rection were pointed out and delineated.
APOSTLE TAYLOR'S SENSATION.
Apostle Taylor, the second speaker at
! the morning session, created sensa-
ton by his remarks regarding the NOR
ais o. the young men and women in
this, the central stake of Zion. He SAID
he had noticed a spirit among the peo-
pie to look lightly upon the breaking
of divine laws and tendency, he fear
ed, was becoming apparent among the
officers to wink at these things and
other sinful acts of the brethren, but
he wanted to warn the officers OF the
church that if they continued to allow
such conduct to go unpublished they
would ultimately be relieved Of these
offices.
He said that while standing on the
street IL this city at night, with a
prominent officer in the church, watch
ing the young women and young men
pass by, that the remark had been
made that nine out of every ten OF the
young women who were on the streets
of this city at night had lost their viz
tue LIe followed these remarks with
an appeal to the mothers and fathers
to find employment for their children
at home in the evenings, and not let
them go forth where temptation await
ed them. or where they would be
classed with the rest as having fallen
from grace.
REPUTATION OF THE CHOIR. 49,
Following this he spoke of the choir
and its reputation. He said he had
heard the keepers OF rooming houses in
this city make the statement that after
choir meetings there were members of
that organization who went to rooms
for immoral purposes, and that the
meetings were used simply as a means
to further aid them in these immoral
purposes. These accusations, he said,
should be investigated by the officers
of the stake, or great evil would be the
result.
After the attack on the morals of the
young people, Apostle Taylor confined
his remarks to the Book of Mormon
and lessons to be derived from its
teachings.
PRESIDENT CANNON DENIES.
President George Q. Cannon. al
though it was past the hour of closing,
made answer to Apostle Taylor in
which he said il was unwise to make
such remarks in the presence of such
large audiences. and where the press
was represented, giving an Unwished
for publicity to matters that should be
discussed in more private places. He (
defended the choir against the remarks ;
of the rooming-house keepers, stating /
that he did not believe there was any i
truth in their statements, and that the /
choir had been great help in the (
building ~ of Zion and should not be /

lies OF a few if with a few they exist |
