the greatest speech that William Me-
Kiney ever uttered, one Of the noblest
sentiments, In fact, that ever fell from

Man OF Calvary the dying son of God

appropriate sentiment upon the lips OF
such a man.
ANARCHY STANDS CONDEMNED.
The Gospel of Christ, as revealed to
and accepted by the Latter-day Saints,
has controversy with all works Of evil
and deeds Of darkness, whatever and
wherever they may be. II sets It's face
like flint against pride, seltishness and
the greed of gain; but 1t also
condemns, In unmeasured terms, MUIR
der, secret combinations, consplracies
whose object Is crime, whose purpose
Is destruction. II denounces tyranny
and avarlce In the rich: II inyeighs
against envy and discomfort In tho
poor. Patience. faith, hope and char
lily are its watchwords; the love of God
and humanity the legend emblazoned
on its banners. II recognizes that
there are wrongs TO be righted. and II
provides the means for righting themi
a means that the sick and weary world
win yet accept as the panacea for all
It's Ills, But works OF crime and deeds
OF darkness are not within the pale OF
the Gospel plan. Conservation, for

tokens of its sacred mission; salyatl II,
not destruction. its purpose towards
all mankind. II will not create equal.
