has asked it the following question.
DO the members OF the Mormon
Church deny the authority Of their
APOSTLES who are dead and perfume

Tho members Of the Mormon"
Church do not deny the authority or

ELDER ROBERTS REPLIES.


IT is not saying TOO much 10 state that
the reply Of Elder h. II. Roberts 10
the oReview" of the local Ministerlal
Association was one OF the most bril-
liant efforts heard in the city for many
years. Elder Roberts is student
whose range Of reading is very eN-
tensive, and he lis especially wen con-
versant with literature bearing on
theological subjects. He is an orator
of recognized ability, and as dialec'
ttciau he has few superlors. He Is
both intellectually and morally OF the
stuff Of which ccntroversiaiists are
made" and It was therefore natural
that the immense audience in the
Tabernacle should break out into APP
plause, repeatedly as tribute no less
10 the truths stated than 10 the bril-
liant manner In which they were pre-
scented. For the speaker carried his
audience with him. His hearers felt
that he was right
Elder Roberts pointed out the hypoc-
risy and falsehood OF the charge that
Mormon Elders preach and teach
something at home, which they con-
ceal. or are silent about, abroad. This
Is the very assumption OF the Minis
terial Association and the alleged eX-
ouse for the Review" Now, 1t can
not be said too often, or with too
much emphasis. that "Mormonism' has
nothing 70 conceal. It's message con-
Germs all the world, and every indiVio-
ual In the world. It Is TO be proclaim
ed from the housetops, that all may
hear and be judged in accordance with
their acceptance, or rejection of II.
We are pleased that the local minis-
tiers undertook to reply to the Address,
10 the World, issued by the Church.
They demonstrated the weakness OF
their position by their inability to re-
flute the statements made IN that Ad-
dress. They did not even try 20 refute
them They merely endeayored to cree
ate prejudiees against the authors OF
the Address, by presenting Mormon
ism" as they view 1t. But that Is not
REPUTATION. 1t Is only cheap and
worthless substitute. BY no other meth
cd could the opponents have more
efficiently demonstrated their own
helplessness.
We notice that the morally irro
sponsible sheet which, We are sorry TO
say the local ministers have made their
omopthpiece, refers, locally, 10 Elder
Roberts address as an attack upon
tho authors of the Review The fact is
that the speaker was defending the
Church. He repealed an attack. But
the sheet referred to always says Nor
mon" Elders attack Opponents who
make the Church, It's doctrines and
leading men the object Of their assaults.
II has so long been in the habit of per-
verting truth that 1t can no longer see
the difference between attack and de-
Tense. And if It sees II, It pretends
not to. because It wants TO make po-
lltical friends among the religious part
OF the community. II needs the votes
OF church people to help II maintain IN
power an administration responsible for
unnecessary dissertation Of the Sabbath
and the prevalence of the social evils.

SIGNS OF LIFE IN ISLAM.

And now, some of the more adj
Vanoed patriots of Egypt ask for a
constitution and seIf-government for
their country. There is a national
party, and during a recent meeting
they adopted resolution demanding
constitution. Lord Cromer is op-
posed to this, for the reason that, In
his view, the Egyptians do not know
what constitutional government is,
but at the same time he admits that,
unless the moral and material prog
ress of the country Is 10 be arrested,
the system Of legislation by diplomacy
must be abandoned, and some local

This national movement is not the

this aspect. she movement certainly

all nations who have political inter-

This view Is not admitted 10 he cor
