sermon was almost impossible TO follow,
due TO its utter lack OF unity and coher-
ence. However the speaker began by
speaking OF the ignorance of some mis-
SionarleS that are sent into the field to
preach the gospel To illustrate this he
gave as an example a young man who
had been In the field some time, and knew
nothing of pre- existence, a fundamental
doctrine of MormonlSm. Imagine what
such man could do teaching that doc
1rine to intelligent people. He goes into
the world TO teach the doctrine that he
absolutely knows nothing about, He also
tells the people he knows the principles
are true. yet he does not know what these
principles are. Think OF the success

The speaker next went TO the news

church papers, he said. We're the best

narrow as one the speaker knew who
was a church official and would not take

IL political stand it had taken. The News,
he said. defended the saints and that il
