we are ali serving the Lord. have

with my brethren here, but have dis

the Lord is not in the heart of the peo-
pie. But as q whole the Latter-day
Saints are rich in. the measure OF HIS
spirit.
"The secret of success OF the Latter

less than half a million OF US in all

He said that of the ministers he
knows who have been attacking the
Mormon church he believes they are
honest in their efforts. but that they

Again Issues Challenge.
In making the closing remarks or
the conference OF 1910, president Jo-
seph f. Smith again issued a challenge
to the enemies OF the church and de-
clared again that the adversaries did
not dare meet the church in debate,
using the Bible as the proof.
II will not attempt TO address you
at any length" said the president
The most 1 could do is to emphasize
and endorse without restraint every
word and every sentiment that has
been spoken during these sessions OF
the conference from the first to last.

timony as has been borne by the
speakers who have addressed the con-

Why? Because you know the princi-
pies OF the gospel as well as l do.
I'VE send out to the nations OF the
earth nearly 1000 missionaries every

which can turn them aside. They
know the truth. for il has made them

Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints. There are no dupes among the
Latter-day Saints. There arc. no men
and women among the Latter-day
Saints who have the right to claim
honorable consideration who are not
free men and free women in the high
est sense of the word.
