Trip Was Without Special Signif-

Than half of the Bond Issue.

A w. McCune, president of the Utah

from an inspection of the road, upon
which he was accompanied by Secre-
tary w. L. Hoge. President McCune
declared that his inspection of the road
had no significance whatsoever. He
said that he merely went over it with
Mr.. Hoge, who was interested in the
road with him and who had never yet
inspected it. Mr.. McCune declared that
he did not purchase any mines while
away. He visited Deer Lodge camp,
the Homestake group and the Camp

bond issue of $500 The statement
published by local papers, however, to
the effect that the Utah & Pacific owed
practically this entire amount to the

upon by all the speakers was that of the
payment of tithing. President Joseph F.
smith was the first speaker. He spoke
forcibly and earnestly on the subject; re,

Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants TO
emphasize his points. The church, in It's
tithing law, had revenue law. he SAID,
exactly as had every government In ex-
istence-country, state, city or any other
and its enforcement was equally I'M
portant and essential to the church as
any revenue law was to government II

the churchs necessary expenses were
borne by the rich and poor equitably. The
church is commanded to build temples,
houses of worship, care for It's poor SICK h,,1
and aged send out missionaries, etc., but
this cannot be done if tithing is not PAID.
Those who harken and obey this divine
law will be blessed while those who DO
not follow it's teachings will be. cursed.
The heaviest curse that could fall on the
speaker would be his loss of faith. A
man who pays his tithing honestly and
conscientiousiy will never apostatize nor
turn from the gospel. He was alarmed
to have heard that not more than 70 per
cent of the church's members PAID tith-
ing.
Seymour B. Young followed with a short
address on the same subject. After MIN
John Henry Smith spoke. Among other
things he said that il a member s record
on the bishops books showed that ne
paid a full and just tithing, 1t was 1air

verse was not the case. A man coulo
hide his faults. deceits, ETC., from his auc
thorities and pass as good man, put IL
his name was not on the tithing DOCKS
there was no assurance that he was an
upright member.
A pleasing feature of the morning was
the meeting at 3 O'Clock. between PresI-
dent Snow and the Sunday school emil
dren. The children had assembled about
800 strong. and after having received
