his face is covered with a growth of bushy

After The Stars report closed yesterday
Chairman Burrows asked Mr. Lyman con-
corning the nature of the marriage service
known as going through the Endowment
House. and objection was made by Mr..
Worthirgton on the ground that it did not
assume that Mr.. Srnoot had any knowledge
of the ceremony. Chairman Burrows said
it had been asserted that Senator Smoot
had gone through the Endowment House,
and had taken some oath there that might
conflict with his oath a senator. Mr.
Lyman said he could not state the service
if it was to save his life. He might APP
proXimate, and being told to do SO, said
that he agreed to live an upright life, and
that he had not taken any oath against
any person or anything that might conflict
with any law Of the country.

Don't you think, Mr.. Apostle, that it be-
hooves you to be a little careful about
what you say so that you will not have
anything to take back?" asked the senator
severely.
Senator Hoar followed this Question by
asking the witness If he had received a
revelation concerning what he was to tes-
tfy to on the stand, and whether such a
revelation could be responsible for his
change of mind in regard to the questions
asked. s1Sh9'
"Are your answers Here by order of the
Lord? Are they giveh'in Your human or in

The Reorganized Church.
Chairman Burrows asked Mr. Lyman in
regard to the reorganized church of the
Latter Day Saints at Lamont, Iowa, of
which son of Joseph Smith, the prophet,
is the head, and Mr. LYMAN gave his Ideas
of the differences between the two organiza-
tons. He was asked II the reorganized
church did not denounce pGlygamy and an
swered, "They denounce IL so hard that it
almost provolees us to defend it.
Senator Dubois asked if the reorganized
church teaches absolute obedience to its
leaders and was informed by Mr.. Lyman
that he understood the church was not very
strenuous in that regard.

becoming a candidate, what would have
happened to him ?" asked Senator Dubois.
Mr.. Lyman said that Senator Smoot would
have been considered insubOrdinate, and
probably would have been disciplined
He was asked for definition of ''disci-
pline," and he said Smoot would have been
taken to task, reproved or corrected. He
was asked what would have happened I'm the
sent to another apostle to become a candi-
date for the Senate.
Il don't know. 1t would have made lots
of confusion. We will scrap about that
question when ii comes to us.
Mr.. Worthineton having objected to ques-
tons concerning the belief of the reorgan-
lied church as irrelevant Senator Hoar
said that the Senate investigation was more
like grand jury's inquiry than trial,
and that they were not confined to the
narrow issues of this question. If we had
been L would not have put many of the
questions which ] have in this case
Mr.. Worthington said he had no objection
to the testimony so long as it is understood
that such irrelevant matter will not be
taken seriously by the committee.
Mr.. Tayler said that it had been shown
of the religions composed of
peaceable, law-abiding citizens, while the
other is a menace to society and good gov

Mr. Worthington inquired of Mr.. Lyman

which the church forbids and still remain
Mormon in good standing. The witness an
swered affirmatiVely.
Mr. Lyman told the story of an effort on
the part of Prophet Joseph Smith to get rid
of one of his councillors who had been
chosen by revelation and the refusal of the
people to submit to the change. This was
for the purpose of showing that the will of
the people is stronger than the wish or COM
mand of the president of the church.
Meaning of Revelation.

Hoar that revelation from the Lord
