Elder Roberts read some paragraphs
| from the report of Or. Talbot. as given
! 10 the press. as follows:
The solidarity OF the dominant
| Church In Utah rs such that its grasp
| les upon its individual members In a
| most potential way II may be doubt
| cd whether there is any ecclesiastical
/ organization i'm this or any land that
/ holds lts people under ,trIctcr sur
| vclllance or eXacts a more ready obe-
| dleuce OF them than docs the Mormon
! Church. That Church also Incorporates
So much OF Bible truth m MS system of
! doctrine so constantly appeals 10 the
/ motive or-grlf-tntrrrst I'm Hs teachings
| and So persistontly and faithfully
| teaches ia doctrines 10 the Young and
! old alike fh6f M is 1bfe To urpeent ,
| solid ph8la1x In the world.

change our method of campaign. II
we are hc.e to minister only 10 the
| Gentilos. then We need 10 withdraw
from ali places save salt Lake CITY.
Ogden aud n few mining camps. But
| our mission rs moi to tho Goutlles alone
or even primarily. Wo do not believe

We hold these views firmly, while
| az the same time we ConCede the great
est respect to the vast majority Of the
members OF that Church whom we be-
! lieye 20 be sincere In their beliefs.
While, therefore, we cast no reproach
! upon them, and are far from rldculing
their religion yet at the same time we
| believe mat they are deluded. that they
| are being led away from the revela-
/ ton OF God as given In the bible and
| that they are not Following the Christ
| Of God. These are the views that
have Inspired the founding of our miss
sion work I'm Utah
But what Is here claimed is that We
must now change our method OF cam
| palgn. We arc not here to hold our
| ground, hut 10 gain more. We are NOT
here to defend ourselves-but 10 carry
| our banner 10 conquest To hold Tho
fort" means disaster. There is no
hone for our cause except In sounding
