HUGH J. CANNON TALKS
Of MORMON PAT ATRIOTISM
Claims Latter-Day Saints AL
ways Have Been Loyal to
the Government.

Owing to Sunday being fast day IN
the Mormon church, no regular services
were held at the tabernacle, but mere
ly special meeting, including an or
gan recital, for tourists and visitors.
j. j. Mcclellan, tabernacle organist,
rendered several numbers on the organ
and Fred C. Graham sang a selection
from "Eliiah," F" An address on "Mor-
monism' was delivered by Hugh j.
Cannon, president of the Liberty stake.
In part no said:
"About 600 years before Christ a
certain prophet who lived on this con
tlnent looked into the future and saw
Columbus, Columbus was inspired to
discover this land by the Will of God.
We have the record of this in the Book
of Mormon.
"Another prophet whose words arc
recorded In the Book of Mormon tells
us that the people came to this country
for the love of freedom and in order
that they could worship God according
to the dictates of their conscience. We
arc also told in the Book of Mormon
that this nation would be chosen above
all other lands.
CIT is appropriate for me today to
mention the love and reverence which
the Latter-day Saints hold for their
country. We arc often accused of be
ing disloyal to the government, but on
the other hand we have been loyal to
the government of the United States,
and ! think there is no other people
who go so far as the Mormons in this
regard -

of the beliefs of the Mormon church
very emphatically declaring that Latter;

strive to live righteous lives,
