The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-10-08

Who are all these boys out on the
streets bowling like a lot of wildcats,
curslng and swearing at IL O'clock at
night? I see it. What was 1 doing
tnere? Looking 10 see If any of my
children were among the hoOdlums on
the streets OF Salt lake. Are they
yours?
4 can remember a time when there
were no accom-. modations for visitors
in Salt Lake, because the houses were
nhed with children in the evenings A
governor who was appointed to preside
over this territory, Stephen s. Harvey,
couldn't find accommodations, and
couldn't stay here longer than a month.
He did stay that long, long enough TO
insult our women folks, until one day
he ran against the wronS party and
was driven OUT of the house with a
poker. Harvey said he couldn't live
without his wife and family. Well 1
hope he's dead. There are lots of ac-
commodations now, with all this lewd-
ness that is going on If il was in my
power to catch these young hounds
who sneak around these back doors,
I'd fix them SO they wouldn't want any.
It wouldn't do to leave it to me- For,
by God, I'd stop it, I'd see that they
wouldn't pOIlute the streets Of Zion.
You can track them now down the
streets. They're not so clear that you
can't follow their tracks. 1 can tell
me"
Unity In Church.
The speaker then spoke after the
same fashion of everybody who has
occupied the pulpit during the confer
ence, of the perfect unity that exists
among the apostles and leads of the
church. ION every question:
In every way" he said, ''lhey are
one Some fellows say, i can't swallow
that doctrine when that doctrine
comes from the heads of the church.
Well. if you can't swallow it, then it
viii stick in your stomach and kill you.
wish the body of the church could
take enough physic to physic these fell
lows out.2
Shortly after this the apostle con-
cluded his sermon. a solo. Come Unto
Me-" being sung by Professor Anthem
Lund.
President Joseph F. Smith spoke
next, saying he wished to endorse
heartily everything that had been said
by the apostles during the conference.
He told the congregation that the peo-
pie were engaged in the temporal as
well as the spiritual work of building
up Zion. and they are blended.
This is a physical church as well as
a spiritual church. he said, "and
when you hear people say we have
broken covenants entered into under
the administration of Joseph Smith,
tell them for me, tell them for Brother
snow ana tell them Tor BrOUner can
non that they say what is not true.
The same principles exist now in this
church that always existed"
Law of Tithing.
President Smith spoke of the law of
tithing and said it was greatly to the
credit of President Snow and his ad-
ministrauiOn that it is being observed
more than it was in years past. Then
President Smith said something that
aStOniShed his hearers
There has been a great deal said
about the unity that exists in this
church." said he. 4 want to tell you
that we are not one. We are not united
as we should be, for when President
Snow has told brother what he should
do, he has replied, That comes in con-
tact with my idea of manhood and
cannot do it, He reaches to a higher
rank"
There were those in the congregation
who did not catch the full meaning OF
President Smiths remark. Later he
saids when the wicked rule, the peO-
pie mourn. wherefore honest mn and
wise men should be sought for dill -ent-
iy.' He asked whose right it WIS to
judge who are the right men, main
tanning that it was the right of united
council.
Support Church Principles.
The speaker then urged the people
20 support two principles of the Nor
mon church, which he enumerated as
''self-prOtectiOn and home industry
He wanted the people to support them
he referred 10 the Provo wooden mills
which ne said President Young estab-
hshed so that the people would not
nave to import goods from abroad. He
said that So per cent of the products OF
the wooden mills had to find a market
in the east and 10 per cent only was
sold at home.
he asked if they were not ashamed
that such is the case, and spoke sar-
castically of the loyalty of the people
20 this industry, also the smaller ones
He said he was dressed in a suit made
of wooden goods from Provo and want
ed 10 know if the people were ashamed
of his appearance.
You would rather buy shoddy from
the east, would YOU he continued
taken 1-om the pest houses and gut
ters? Every intelligent man ought t.
be ashamed of himself if he doesn'-
support home industry
Miss Luella Ferrin sang the solo il
the closing anthem by the choir.
