"a MOT he held the Roman Catholic

Mans held in relation to their Church.
iInitr uniyersality and authority were
asaniials 10 the true Church OF CHRIST
psonie were not Christians in the
truest sense, unless they We're WILING
10 accept truth from Whatever SQUIRE
il came. Narrow-minded and pigoteu
persons were not followers OF IN lst
whether they prufessed 1t or not. Ihere
were Balaams however, in all parts OF
the earth, who were ever ready to OPP
nose the good that was being done in
The earth; but their lives We're short,
q. so to speak, and their acts non-effec-
5{8 tive. The Lords purposes would be
accomplished, all efforts to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
The speaker referred to beautiful
picture in the Bahylcnian Talmud. OF
u woman whose lord had been long alb
sent, and she was porting over the love
& letters received from him In the days
Of their wO0ing. and which gave hei
confidence in his constancy and love and
nobility Of character, He drew a par
allel. between this and the Christian
who read the Bible as past commune
confidence and faith and reliance on
God.
Dr. Reiner referred TO the work beinf
done by the Mormon missionaries in TIL,
earth. They were calling the wicked I,
repentance and In this their labors wer,
accepted Of God. They went forth will
a zeal and determination characters
tic of true ambassadors OF Christ ant
We're welding a power for great good

Of the Mormon people, We're also re
ierted 70 by the speaker. He admired
their devotion and simplicity of faith
and his observations among them hat
greatly impressed him with their sin
Cerity and loyalty to what they be
iieved to he true. He was willing to &c
knowledge truth wherever he found Il
and was open to conversion to that ex
Tent He hoped that the Mormon people
would continue To spread truth an,
righteousness In the earth, that Zioi
would be built up and that Balaami
nenediction could be fittingly applied
How beautiful are thy tents, {
israel and thy tabernacles, o Jacob.
