by speakers and writer's of the past
few years, declared that 1.-The world
does not oppose us for what we do,
but for what it charges US with do
ing"
Various of the charges laid at the
door of the church were taken up by
President Smith in his speech and
each branded as false and designed
to place the Mormon people in a false
light.
The charge that the church is en-
gagged in commercialism was most
forcibly denied by the president, who
declared that there isn't the least
semblance of truth in the charge
Continuing his denial of this accusa-
ton, he said that the church does not
buy and sell goods or chattels, and
that the tithing system is no more
connected with commercialism than
the collection systems in vogue in the
other Christian denominations. More
over, he declared the tithes collected
by the Mormon authorities to be vol
untary contributions, which, he said,
branded as absolutely false the state
ment that the Mormon people are
compelled to pay tithing.
In concluding his denunciation OF
the enemies of the church, he assert
ed that they do not attack the prin
ciples and doctrines of the faith, but
instead they interpret the Mormon
doctrines without regard to truth. and
base their attacks on these interpre-
tations. He denied that the Latter
day Saints are losing their spiritual
ity, as has been charged in England,
and declared the spirituality Of this
people was never greater in the his
tory of the church. The church, he
declared. was in a prosperous condi-
ton and growing, progressing and
advancing daily.
President Lund, in the concluding
address, implored the Latter-day
Saints to mould their lives in the cast
OF Jesus Christ. He especially urged
them to pattern after the forgiving
and sacrificing nature of the Savior
81 do not believe that we are retro
grading or losing our spirituality"
said President Lund. "On the other
hand, believe we are growing
stronger and progressing daily. l
think the Latter-day Saints have
more cause to be thankful to the
Lord for blessings bestowed upon
them than any other people in the
world.
I'VE should show our appreciation
of this kindness, not alone in words,
but in actions also. We should offer
thanks to the Lord upon arising for
his kindly protection and seek his d.
vine guidance in the duties that lay
before us in the day. Again at night
we ahouId seek communion with the
Lord in prayer"
Apostle C. w, Penrose delivered the
principal discourse of the afternoon
