Says Church Prospers.

The Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter
day Saints was never in better condi-
tion. temporarily and spiritually. than 1t
now Is. Tho priesthood is more effec-
lively and efficiently organized than ever
before. I believe the faith of the Latter
day Saints In the divinity of the mission
OF joseph Smith is as great as ii ever
was. There is as much union and good
fellowship In the church as ever. OF
course there are discontented persons
and fautfnders among us-I suppose we
will always have thcm-but / do not be-
lieve there were ever fewer OF them than
today. The Latter day Saints never un-
derstood our own principles better than
they do today. ! believe with all my
soul that the church is growing today
quite as fast as In any other period of
its existence The presidencics of the
stakes OF Zion in any other period Of
our history were never more diligent in
their discharge Of duty This is nv
Judgment from my point OF View-and

Living for Cause.

sionary service, and enjoyed II. and

end OF my days. | believe the saints TO
be engaged in the cause OF truth. not OF

ut Is a source OF qualification to the
saints To know that their enemies are
not and have not been opposed openly
and avowcdly 70 the principles which
we have espoused. AS a rule the oppo-
sition that has been arraycd against the
Church of Jesus Christ OF L.atter-day
Saints has been urged against us from
false premises. Instead OF being opposed
10 our religion they have been hasing
their false charges on things of which we
are not guilty. Our enemies would not
appear to be consistent to oppose the
principle OF revelation from Coo 20 man;
to oppose the Latter day Saints Tor be-
lieving that the Lord Almighty is quite
as capable of revealing himself 20 the
church In this dlspeDsation as he ever
was. And therefore when our enemies
oppose us or our faith in these prin
ctples, II is on the false premise that we
do not believe in and practice what We
preach
I'VE are not responsible for the general
declaration of Jhe world that no longer
is there revelation. We are responsible
for the assertion that there is continued
revelation We Will find that II is not

Denies Charges Made.

They have charged us with acts and
practices that we are not guilty OF.
They have constructed in their own minds
evils that the church has never been
guilty OF. They charge us with being
corrupt. with having practiced corrupt
principles OF being seclusive and opposed
to the world, OF opposing our government
and Of being antagonistic 10 good and
wholesome laws and works of righteous
ness, They have actually charged us with
being murderous and adulterous, and with
all manner of evil doing.
'1f the world-lf our enemies-deslre to
oppose the Church OF Jesus Christ OF Lat
ter-day Saints because we believe with
all our souls in the divinity of Christ and
in the divinity OF the principles. which he
taught--because We believe that these
principles have been restored 10 the earth
In the dispensation Of the fulness. Of
times, and because we choose to live them

Praise for the Saints.

There is no organization OF people In
the world who are so universally spirit
ual, or who are so entitled to inspiration
and revelation from the spirit You have
the privilege to have revelation as to
whether / am servant of God or a serv-
ant Of man. and it Is my privilege to
have revelation for my own guidance.
There never was a time when the spirit
uality of the church was greater.
The church Is charged with CONNER
cialsm. There is not jot OF truth in
the charge We are not-the church Is
not--engased In buying and selling goods
and chattels. 1t is true we have the law
OF tithing; but we do not pass around
the hat, or the. contribution box, or the
plate, In order to secure funds for carry
ing on our work. This practice of COL
lectng contributions for church work as
it is in force in the other churches, might
as to give that character to our law OF
