L. S. Meeting.

Elders B. H. Roberts and C. D.
Fjeldsted of the First Council of
Seventy's. visited the quorum IN
this city Saturday afternoon. In
the evening they addressed large
audience up town. Elder Roberts
was the principal speaker, and took
as his text the Ten Commandments,
admonishing the people to keep
those commandments. He laid
great stress upon the one relating
to the profaning the name of the
Dlety. Said it was a growing evil
among the young men of Israel, and
that itshould be proclaimed against
in all the assemblies of the Saints.
He stated that in travelling among
the people it became more and more
evident that this evil was growing
one, and that it had got SO far that
1t was being practiced among the
ladies' to a greater or lesser extent,
and he implored all who are addict
ed to the habit of using the name
of God in vain to refrain from it,
because, said he, .'there is a
heavy penalty attached to the violat-
ing Of this commandment. In for
mer days the punishment for this
sin was capital, and it is as much a
sin now as it was in former DAYS. y
The meeting was an unusually
large one, and the best of order and
attention was manifested.

THE CHURCH AND SECRET
ORDERS.

In another column will be found
extracts of the speeches made in
Salt Lake Sunday, by prominent
Mormon church officials, concerning
secret orders. All of the speakers
took strong ground against any
member of the L. D. S. church join
ing these orders. Some of the arg
nments they put forth are, indeed,
ridiculous. The principal point
made was that man could not be-
long to one OF these orders and be
good churchman. Another point
was that the insurance paid by some
of these orders to the widow and
orphans was "mere pittance," for
which the man sacrificed his chances
of eternal life, to provide.
The EXAMINER doesn't propose to
defend the organizations, though
its editor is a member of four of
them, for they are amply able to
take care of themselves, but we
want to call attention to the fact
that many of the members of some
of these organizations are Mormons,
and it would be hard TO make these
believe that lodge man cannot be
good churchman, or that the in
suranee paid by some of these
orders is pittance to be dispised.
