The above list of state officers were
al chosen delegates to the second
worlds Christian Citizenship confer
,nce, Portland, Ore, June 70, TO July
}. 1918.
The following declaration of prin-
,iples Indicating the lines OF work to
De followed by the newly-formed state
were unanimously adopted:
We believe that all Of our laws
ouching the family life-including the
marriage and divorce-should be based
mon the moral laws Of the Christian
.efigion. and their enforcement uni
'orm and effective.
We believe that every citizen should
,e protected In his God-given rights,
md that, without mourning loss, ne
should be allowed one day of rest IN
seven and that he should be permitted
q spend that day, without molestation,
or the good Of his bodily and spiritual
lie. that of his family, his community
state and nation. And that In view OF
he fact that this nation Is recognized
AZ a Christian once with an estab-
ished Sabbath, we believe that the
Sabbath day should be SO recognized
w our statutory law, as 1t has, IN
act, been so recognized and deter
mined by our supreme court.
In view Of the fact that our nation
,as a religion, and recognizes it in all
+ the departments Of human activity,
We favor the reading Of the bible and
instruction in Christian morality IN
mr. public schools and state educa-
.ional institutions.
We believe that Mormonism presents
q the nation a phase Of human
slavery, crime and depravity that is
,ntaponistic to every constitutional
light that is assured to our citizens.
and is menace to our form OF gov
,rnment. We, therefore, favor the most
earnest and effectual efforts that will
stamp this evil out, politically and
That the political life of our country
nay be purified and exalted; we favor
he teaching and application of the
Christian bible principles and the ap-
living of same to every feature OF
twill government, especially as they re-
ate to law, constitutional and statu-
DRY. and to the choice of men for
official positions.
We favor in the most complete way,
he application Of the golden rule in the
,d iustment of differences between all
employers and their employees, and be-
ween capital and labor IN every de-
oartment of human endeavor.
We recommend that our association
affiliate and cooperate with the ma
.ional association in all Of its en-
leavors, and especially in its work in
behalf of the worlds great Christian
convention, to be held at
Portland, Oregon, June 20 to July 6,
1913.
