Stake Presidency of Religion Class Work
Authority was given Mr. Morning TO conduct re-
ligion class work in license issued to him by the
general SUPPLEMENTARY of religion classes and
signed by Anthem H. Lund Rudger Clawson and
Joseph M Tanner, the latter being the bright and
shining light who has just scandalzed even the Nor
mon church by unusually disrepuable indulgence in
new polygamy.
These representatives of the church, the presidency
and the superintendenCy, made important mistake
in the case of Mr.. Morning They supposed him to
be Mormon Their b1under resulted in the expos
ure of the methods employed by the church to place
the children of the public schools regardless of creed
under the direct teachings of the Mormon church.
The outlines of the studies Mr. Morning was di-
reced by the church authorities to place before his
pupils (made part of the evidence and printed in
volume two of the testimony included biographi-
cal sketches of such leading Mormons as President
Joseph F. Smith, Elder M. Lyman, Elder John Henry
Smith, Elder George Teasda1e, Elder Heber
T. Grant, Elder John w. Taylor, Elder M. w. Mer-
ril1, Elder Matthias F. Cowley, Elder Rudger Claw
son, Elder Reed Smoot, President Brigham Young
President George A. Smith and finally the polluted
Joseph M. Tanner.
