SINCERITY OF THE LATTER.pAY
SAINTS

These are some OF the practical prln-
ciples OF the Gospel Of Jesus Christ as
taught by the Latter-day Saints and
when you compare them with the phil
osophies and theories OF the rest Of the
religious world, TO my mind they stand
out as beacon light unto all the world,
toward which all the honest In heart
should be drawn. | have been on
circuit in the Southern States, where |
have found certain ministers preach
ing what they believed to be
the Gospel of Christ. They 20 around
each month to so many churches, and
they receive certain salary for
preaching at each OF these churches. II
their salary stops at any one OF the
churches, they do not return to that
church, / have heard them say to
congregation that IL they did not pay
them their price they would not preach.
You never heard a Latter-day Saint FL
der make such statement as that. on
the contrary, many OF them give all
they have, and even place their lives
upon the altar. They do not preach
for hire nor divine for money. They
offer the religion Of Jesus Christ with
out money and without price. and call
upon the people to repent and TO live
that religion. They are not after the
wealth of the world, they are after the
salvation of the souls Of men, re-
member about five years ago In San
Francisco there was prominent Bap-
list preacher who got into difficulty,
but he was retained In his pastorate.
shortly afterward Presbyterian
church In the East desired this Baptist
minister's services, and they offered
him $500 year more to go and preach
Presbyterianlsm than he was getting
for preaching the gospel OF the Baptlsts;
and for $500 more year one OF the
leading ministers on the coast changed
his religion, and instead OF teaching
free grace, free will, and baptism by
immersion. he began to preach predes-
tination, sprinhing, and number Of
other things peculiar TO the Presby-
terian religion. You do not find such
things as that with the Latter-day
Saint Elders, They never leave the
Church for the purpose OF obtaining
larger salary. They get no salary
at oil. All they receive IL the Joy and
satisfaction which come to their hearts
In doing the will OF the Father, They
do not preach for money; they preach
because they love God and their fellow
men. II is for this that they sacrifice
their home comforts and their business
interests, and all that they cherish.
They would not do II for money. Elev-
en- years ago when ! went TO the
Southern states to preach the Gospel,
there was not money enough In this
wide world to have hired me to 60 down

recognized as his wife during the time
