4 4 OR1IONS and Normonism formed
NI the subject centers of the ma
jority Of the addresses and talks
at the afternoon session of the Utah
Methodist mission conference yester-
day. While no names were mentioned.
Senator Kearns and DR.. Talmage, the
well known authority on Mormon doc
trines, were made the objects of some
pointed remarks.
Ways Of dealing with Mormonism.
and the manner in which Mormons deal
with Methodism. were freely discussed.
Suggestions were made as to the most
successful plans that should be pur-
sued in evangelizing Utah, an6~it was
the unanimous opinion OF the confer
ence that Methodists should revive the
old-time methods Of street corner
stump and gOOds-bOX preaching. The
morning session was devoted to reports
and routine business principally.
Evangelical Success.
The afternoon session opened with a
paper on THE Secret Of Evangelistic
Success" by the Rev. A J. Clifton u
Logan. in which ne gave a number Of
suggestions he thought would prove
successful in evangelical work. The
discussion of the paper was opened by
the Rev. L. E. MOrk Of this city, who
thought the Methodists should adver-
tise their evangeiistic services with
posters, and in various ways. He point
ed out that when a show or something
Of that kind came to town it was her
aided everywhere by haring posters,
and he thought a meeting TO save souls
should be advertised as freely and
widely as any show.
The Rev. J. T. Price Of Park City
then followed with the chief address OF
the afternoon, on plans for Aggressive
Work in Utah" He opened his remarks
by saying he thought sometimes that
Methodists and Nethodism were not
as successful as might be because they
were lifting things from the top instead
Of the bottom, paying too much atten-
ton to the things way up high instead
Of mingling with the things at the bot
tom and trying to elevate the whole.
AS an iliUstra ton Of this, he told Of an
excuse offered by young man, who
he said was wei known to MethOdists.
for voting for the Silver King magnate
for senatorial honors.
Man and His Dreams.
1.-THE hour demanded 1nan who
cuse he offered. said Mr.. Price. But
he should not have stopped at half Of
the truth, he should have gone on fur
Their and said: The hour not only de-
mands a man who can have large
dreams. but one who can wake up once
IN a while and see that those dreams
are realized. The dreams without the
realization are useless. What the hour
demands is not only a man who can
dream, but one who can get out and do
at the same time.
There is a man here who Is learned
and bright and looked upon as an au-
thority upon everything from an
thropology to the defects in the Nor
mon faith, but Notwithstanding this,
he has never even made a rifle among
his people"
Did you say an authority on bug
ology?" interrupted some one in the
congregation.
Yes, bugOlogy or Mormonisn. it's all
the same thing" replied DR.. Leilich,
and for the next few moments the
speaker could not proceed for the con
fusion of amusement
How to Save Souls.
Continuing his talk. the speaker said:
HE has not lifted his people because
he was not Of his people. 1t is not the
man who goes out and hunts Bugs and
writes treatises on religions defects
that saves souls, but the man who gets
down with the sinner and lifts him up"
Mr.. Price then called the attention Of
his hearers to some Of the difficulties
they would meet in attempting to carry
MethOdism throughout Utah.
THE greatest trouble is" said he.

they know so much more than you that
they ought to teach you, and they are
