He referred to the new tendency IN
.Aa nation toward sensationalism and
syr,tsment. without substantial
rronnds war cry had swept over
,he country, and. swelled by the voice
" ,he neople. it had become so strong
az Ia threaten the peace and safety OF
~ nation. and it's institutions. which
bsd heen built upon the foundation of
ruth not OF untruth. The speaker
,bmght the greatest present danger to
,ba nation was the tendency toward
untruth; which, encouraged against the
Latter. day Saints in the past by the
sensational press. had become n menace
10 the nation. 1t seemed strange that
former victims to this false representa-
ton should yield to 1t and accept II
without question. New history would
be made with great rapldity in the near
future. and II would he necessary for
the Iatter.day Saints TO assume a
conservative attitude. and check every
tendency toward the sensatiOnalism
which deluged the land.

turned from a mission to England. tes-
titled to the power of faith existing
among the people OF God. and accom-
panying their payers. This was Illus
trated In The case of President Wood

Inc on aaodnt of the prayers of the
Saints In his behalf The speaker re-
fered 10 his experiences among the
portion Of the body Of Christ" abroad,
who were not blessed with the same
privileges as were enjoyed by the
Saints in Zion, and whose sufferings
should be felt and sympathzed with by
The Saints at home. He urged all the
members of the body Of the Church to
be faithful In the performan,> of the
work directed by the head: and IA, de-
peted the power which would thus be
tsyeloped The Young men were URGED

CURED, If combined with the influence
OF the Spirit Of God. would render the
Young men OF Zion a great power in the
world
