be proved that they did nothing but
come here with government aid) and
let the country grow up around them
until the founders of the said party
came in and set things to going. The
Mormons did none of this work; on
the contrary, they opposed its being
done at all. Another thing: Be-
cause of having come here first, al
though doing nothing till said party
came, and located on the lands (Which
remained idle till said party came),
the Mormons got it into their heads
that they had the same rights and
privileges that settlers elsewhere
(who work. are permitted to have,
and actually proceeded to establish
forms of government, create offices
and fill them and finally to engage in
practical politics. This might have
been not so Objectionable had it been
confined to the time that they we're
here alone, but was productive of ex-
ASPIRATION when persisted in after

presumed too much upon the idea

the following choice sentence from
Bourdaloue was bumped up against:
"Aimer ceux vous haissent, ceux
qui vous persecutent, c'cst la charlie
du Chrctien; c'est pesprit de la re-
ligion."
A rough (and tumble) interpreta-
ton of this is that if you can only
stand it rot to despise those who
ought to be despised because of their
general cusscdness, this is Christian
like and therefore the correct brand
of religion. Rousseau and La Roche
foucauld gave expression to similar
ideas, goirg to show that it takes a
man who never was in London to

This train of thought leads me to
conclude that the Mormons of Utah
are standing in their own light and
not enjoying all the bounties and ben
efits they might have if only they
would be more complaisant and re-
ceptive regarding the smiling faces
which come among them concealed
behind frowning Providence. 1t
IS very true that they have not at
any time returned in equal measure
the evil that has been practiced upon
them, but manifestly they have not
been sufficiently appreciative of the
great good which complete submits
sion to the peculiar methods of those
who have been opposed to them
might have wrought. To say that
such complete submission would have
been against human nature is to speak
idly; it is a rare privilege to have op-
portuntics of rising abovc human
nature.
The saints came to Utah in the
first instance because it was about

beings wanted. Even The savages
visited it but rarely, and like other
good visitors didn't make their visits
very long. In order that the place
might continue uninviting they (the
saints) began laboriously to do moth
