conference yesterday, is as follows:
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS TO
THE WORLD,
Greeting
In the hope of correcting misrepre
sentation, and of establishing more
perfect understanding respecting our
selves and our religion. we, the officers
and members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints, in general
conference assembled, issue this de-
claration.
Such an action seems imperative.
Never were our principles or our pur-
poses more widely misrepresented. more
seriously misunderstood Our doctrines
are distorted, the sacred ordinances of
our religion ridiculed our Christianity
questioned, our history falsifed, our
character traduced. and our course of
conduct as people reprobated and con-
demned
Truth About Mormonism.
In answer to the charges made
against lis, for ourselves and for those
who, under divine direction, founded
our religion and our church; for our
posteritY, to whom we shall transmit
the faith. and into whose keeping we
shall give the Church of Christ and
before mankind, whose opinions we
respect, we solemnly declare the truth
to be.
Our religion is founded on the reve~
lations of God. The gospel we pro,
claim is the gospel Of Christ. restored
To earth in this the dispensatlon of
of the church is declared in it's title
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day SAINTS. Established by divine di-
rectiou its name was prescribed by
him whose church it is-Jcsus the
Christ.
The religion Of this people is pure
Christianity. It's creed ls expressive
Of the duties of practical life. Its the
ology is based on the doctrines of the
Redeemer,
If 1T be true Christianity TO accept
Jesus Christ in person and in mission
rs divine: to revere hlm as the Son
Of God The crucified and risen Lord,
through whom alone can mankind at
tain salvation; TO accept his teachings
as guide. To adopt as standard and
observe as n law the ethical code he
quiremeDts prescribed by him as es-
sential to membership III his church,
namely, faith, repentance, baptism by
immersion for the remission Of sins,
and the laying on of hands for the
gift of the Holy Ghost-if this be
Christianity, then are we Christians,
and the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat"
ter-day Saints is Christian church.
The theology of our church is the the
ology taught by Jesus Christ and his
apostles, the theology of scripture and
reason. 1t not only acknowledges the
sacrcduess of ancient scripture, and the
binding force of diyinely inspired acts
and utteranccs in ages past: but also
declares that God now speaks to man
in this final gospel dispensation
We believe in the Godhead. compris-
ing the three individual personagcs,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
We hold that man IS verify the child
OF God. formed in his image, endowed
with divine attributes, and possessing
power To rise from the gross desires
OF oarth to the ennobling aspirations
of heaven.
We believe in the pre-existence of
man as Il spirit, and in future state

II wish 10 deny as cmphatically as
