SALT LAKE, Oct. 3.-President Jo-
seph F. Smith of the Mormon church
has made an address to the Mormons
of Washington County that has caused
sensations among the Gentiies of the
State. The address was delivered at
| the regular conference of the St.
George Stake. President Smith, An
thony H. Lund, one of his counselors,
and Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith, Presi-
| dent Smiths son, went from Salt Lake
to attend the conference In his .ad-
dress President Smith spoke of the op-
position the Mormon church has met
with from members of other churches
He compared Utah with Judea, where,
he said, the same general conditions
existed. In counseling the Mormons as
to their temporal affairs, he said: "The
Gentiles are coming among us to buy
homes and land. We should not sell
to them nor aid them. as they are the
enemies of the kingdom of God. have
never sought to be a vast land owner,
but l have never sold an inch of ground
to an enemy of Gods work.
President Smith offers an explanation
of his statement by saying he learned
many of the Mormons were moving
away and he advised them to remainy
and mot to sell out their homes and
lands to their enemies"
St. George is more than one hundred
IL.
ton of the region surrounding it is al
most entirely Mormon. 1t has been
claimed for some time past that Nor
mon leaders were making addresses in
remote portions of the State along the
lines followed by President Smith in his
speech at St. GEORGE. The Mormon
question has become more acute than
for years past because Of the Smoot
case and the formation of an anti
church party in the State.
