He said, in part:
Apostle Young's Address.
1T is on such occasions at this that
the full power Of the Saints is felt by
the world. 1t is not a loud or bolster
Gus demonstration, but harmonious
gathering of a vast cOncourse Of peO-
pie. We are a small people, but did you
ever stop TO think that If We do any
thing out Of the ordinary it is herald
ed abroad 10 all the people OF the
earth by the public prints? I don't
suppose could mention the word pol
tiles without arouSing the ire Of some
one, either on the inside of this build
ing or on the outside, and without
meeting the ire of friends
But there are some points Of doc
trine that press on my mind today Of
which 1 would rather speak than re-
main silent Some things on this earth
TO my mind are paramount to all 9th
ers- It is The kingdom of God and
Righteousness that are above all things
that ever conferred in my breast I
mean that / viii support the iIStitu-
lions that God Almighty viii sustain
the Institutions that the Lord Jehovah
laid the foundations for. Now, Will 1
serve God or MammOn2 If the here
after IS important TO me / Will serve
God 1 believe IN labOring for my
friends, but if those friends viii not
support the principles l believe TO be
right and Of God 1 must do otherwise.
L will support good men in every
condition. l care not what proposition
may be submitted 70 me, I Will sustain
good men For il is written that when
the wicked rule, the people mourn; and
when the righteous rule, the righteous
rejoice. Then, politically, religiOusly.
and in all times ana conditions, stand
before you as a man who viii sustain
God. L am not a breaker IN
less I depart from the spirit Of God.
which always try TO have with me-
Sustain Good Men.
Now, am 1 talking politics? No.-'
shouted the apostle. But L never viii
dent to me. They were, Sustain good
men Not drunkards, not devils, not
immoral men Not with my consent I
ask you. LaUUer-day Saints and latter
day sinners. shall we have men upright
and honorable over Us2 Shall We2 IS
il not a reprOach TO any nation 10 be
unVirtuOuS the same as any individual
or people? The day has come when che
boys of this people viii vote and should
vote for good men, They brought ms
a ticket TO vote a few years ago withs
Il lot OF ShySUerS on IL l WOulQn vote q
il and they called me a mugWump-
But as sure as Cod lives, never wiz
sustain a man I know 10 be wicked
Apostle Young then went into the
SUBJECT OF education Said he: 1t y
becoming a fad TO educate A goOG-
one, too. To the unthinking mind 4
free school system seems 10 be para
mount, but / want 10 tell you that
whenever an individual OF e nation mas
attempted TO give something Tor nOLn-
ing il has been ruined Because II the
people settle down on it once they viii
have il for all time, either rIghcIully
or wrongfully. It is Ike a badly bal
anced estate-nO cash 70 keep I'D eX-
DenSes That's the way with our free
school system Development, uanufac-
ture and the Ike IS all left out OF edu-
cation now days. Educate a young man
now to be a mineralOSiSt, and what n
heavens name does he know? He can :
apply himself TO his knowledge Take
him ont IN the field and see II he can
put his knowledge into execution A
man has to be trained in the neld-
Only Half Educate.
Education is good. but We have TO
have something after the school. our
schools only half educate.
The speaker asked Il there was a
young man out OF school within the
confines of this state who could 90 into
2 wooden or cotton mandatory ana
handle the cotton or machinery
No" he continued, and l say IndC
if it hadn't been for Gods mercy 20
this people in their ignorance, they all
would nave SIdENEQ 10 uEolsAA ~

God will make US pay for II
Apostle Young said il was the desire
OF most of the young Latter-day SAINTS
if they couldn't get a position as seIO1A
teachers 70 become clerks in store,
and their entire time is thrown away
his wav. He said the people are neg
Letting the very means COD mas put IL
their hands for their support.
