on public highway. They made some
facetious reply. and one of the men,
dismounting, approached Elder Clawson
with cooked revolver. The mission

they had come. and Elder CIawsOn, for
tagging behind, was beaten almost into
insensibility with the butt of shot

hoped to escape. This was the sudden
clapping of his hands and a loud cry

later, appalled, by what they had done,

more or less adventure in making the
necessary arrangements, Elder Claw
son started home with the body of his
companion. Eight months later he
started back from Salt Lake to appear
before the grand jury and assist in the
prosecution of the murderers of Joseph
Standing. He demonstrated fortitude
and almost suicidal courage while in
the vicinity.

NEW PRESIDENTS LIFE.
Sketch of Rudger Clawson's History
in Utah.

in Utah.
apostle Rudger Clawson, who was
named yesterday at the general confer
ence as the third member OF the first
presidency, has been aptly described by
his biographer as "a subject of consid-
cradle interest in the community of
Latter-day Saints and elsewhere, on
account of being conspicuously con-
nected with circumstances of public
prominence"
He was born in this city March 70,
is the son Of Bish, , II. B. ClaWson and
Margaret CIawson. His early school
days were passed under the late DR..
Karl G. Maeser in the Twentieth ward
school, and subsequently he went
through the University of Deseret I'M
der the late DR.. John r. Park.
At the age of %, in 1879, he was called
upon mission to the southern states,
and it was during this mission that the
first event which contributed towards
establishing his reputation as one Of
the most fearless and interesting figures
in the Mormon church transpired. Ell
der CIawson's closest associate in the
missionary field was Joseph Standing,
who was murdered by a mob in Geor-
gia. Elder ClaWson was travelling with
him at the time and witnessed the fear
full deed. narrowly escaping the same
fate, in fact.
They were travelling along a road
near VarnelPs station. on the way to
neighboring conference, when sud
denly the elders were surrounded by
mob of twelve men, some of whom

little to compare the sectarian and
Nh mon marriage systems and the
diherent modes OF life. The former
system contemplated only life con-
tracts. while that of the Saints count
ed for all time and eternity. Modern
Christianity countenanced and modern
social conditions were opposed TO the
law of God as it related to the propa-
CATION Of human life. while The Latter
day Saints believed in promoting and
sustaining it; they were building for
time and eternity. while the sectarians
wore content to go through life and die
without leaving anyone behind to per-
petuate their names.

sorry spectacle of themselves in so do
ing This church." said he, does not
have to call its leaders together to re-
wise its creed and seek TO discover
what kind of a being God vas. be-
cause it is Gods creation and needs
no revision" The other churches were
compelled to make revisions because Of
the pretended belief that some tenet
of their Faith had Jeen outlived.
The Saints had no changes to make
and that fact demonstrated the differ
ence between the work of man and the
work of God. No stone in the fOunda-
llOH Ol AHe SOSpel OF Jesus christ, as
manifested in the revelations of Jo-
seph Smith. had ever Teen replaced
and the people had cause to rejoice in
the record made.
Elder Rich took occasion to criticise
the divines Of UNCONVENTIONAL churches
for their evident and expressed desire
to Wean the Latter-day Saints from
the teachings Of their faith. He then
went on to explain what constituted
the teachings of Christ and the law of
God and said that most of the great
divines of the day were preaching a
false gospel. thought they professed to
be ministers of Christ. He declared
they needed conversion among them
selves before presuming to try and cen
vert others.
All of the speakers devoted more or
less time to advising the young 10 pay
more attention to their spiritual obli-
cations and become earnest in their en-
beavers to strengthen the church to
which they belonged.
The singing was in charge of Director
Thomas, and Miss Minnie Snow pre-

number rendered at the funeral of
President Mckinley.
The meeting closed with the reading
of the list of church official appoint
ments and their confirmation by The
assembly. followed by a very short
talk by Elder Roberts on the duties of
the younger members of the church.
