llonbl assclutiou, Ia which the Nor.
mons were charged with immortality
While not stating that his remarks
were in answer to Rev MIR. Wakes
charges, he said that "the people called
Mormons have been denounced In a
congregation Of professed ministers OF
the gospel as being large y addicted TO
Sabbath-brcaking, to profanity aud to
all kinds Of immortality Elder PEN
rose said that the charge was not made
that there were few exceptions
among the Lottcr-day Saints who were
guilty Of those charges, but that the
whole people and the church were
branded In that manner lie said that
the regulations OF the Saints were very
bad In the world, where they were not
known, but where they were known,
very different opinion prevails. lie
thought II very strange that a minister
Of the gospel should arise In the very
mids, Of the people Of these mountains
aud charge them with the .oifcnses
named. lie said that among the Lat
ter'day Saints, ns among all other sects,
there are members who were worthy
Of condemnation, some who were posi-
lively wicked, but when these are dis
covered they are required either to
repent or leave the church. And then
he continued in these words;
III we were to retaliate In the same
spirit In which we were attacked, we
perhaps would he sending spies around
20 find out the failings and faults and
wiekedness aud corruption Of the men
In our midst. We understand what
their lives are, but we are not In that
kind OF business, aud u these men
happen to belong TO some religious as.
.,ociation or society, we do not con-
drmn the society because OF the acts OF
few OF their members
ut seems to me that that Is not the
right course for Christian ministers TO
pursue. Even II we are wicked, u we
are corrupt, why not come 10 us and
show us our evil way? Why not point
out TO rs better.way, instead OF blaz-
ing to the world that we are immoral,
that we are profane, are addicted to the
use OF drink; that marriages. frequently
take place among us that are forced
marriages; that immortality Is such
that parties are Obliged TO marry TO
cover up their evil Ways"
