ised that he should not fall away,
and though the forfeiture OF the Holy
Spirits companionship was specified
as the sure and incalculable loss to
all who wilfully persisted in sin. the
blessed assurance was given that
the Church was established for the
last time. never to be destroyed nor

apostasy.
Men may come and men may go.
but the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints shall go on for
ever.
There has never been revision nor
amendment in the fundamental law
OF the Church. and the only changes
are those natural to development, eX-
pansion and adaptation to new con-
ditions.
The world is full of sects and
churches. and there is scarcely one
that has not a counterpart in the
form of a revised or reformed or re-
organized sect. But the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is
no sect, il is an original creation
with the Lord, and when establish
ed upon the earth in this age 1t was
n restoration. There will never be a
reformed or reorganized variant of
this. the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
The faith of the Latter-day Saints
is no whit weakened because of their
fewness. This very condition was
foretold Nearly six centuries before
the Savior's BIRTH Hebrew prophet
on the Western Continent predicted
the establishment of this Church in
the last days, and testified of it as
he had seen in vision, that its mem

the earth. but that their numbers

The course of the Church OF Jesus
Christ OF I-atteT-day Saints has been
ever onward. 1t is a notable fact
that its members are imbued with
the testimony OF certitude as to the
genuineness OF the Gospel they have
embraced and the perpetuity of the
Church. This has been distinguish
ing feature from the beginning
Apostasy from the organization is
so rare as to be negligible. Excom-
munIcants, who are deprived OF their
standing through failure to live uD
to the high standard Of morality and
duty required by the revealed law
of the Church, while not numerous
exceed by many fold those who vol
unfairly Withdraw and affiliate with
other religious bodies.
The Church has never experienced
a period of reduced membership. Al
ways the present has been the time
OF its highest achievement. In sp' 'te
of opposition. some Of which spranS
from misplaced sincerity and zeal,
while much was born of ignorance
and fanaticism. the strength of the
institution, measured in terms of
loyalty, devotion and unswervinG ad,
herence to the principles of the re-
stored Gospel. has steadily and con-
stsntly increased.
Mormonism is definite and mcisive in
its claims. 1t speaks to the world ii
no uncertain tone Its voice is virile
its activities are strong. 1t presents
an unbroken front and is unafraid
Its attitude is not hostile. though
strongly aggressive Its methods are
those of reason and persuasion. Coupl
ed with a fearless affirmation of testi-
mony as to the SURPRISING Importance
of its message. which message it Ia
bors to convey to every nation
kindred, tongue and people.
Mormonism lives because it is
healthy, normal and undeformcd. 1n
general. a healthy organism is as
sured of life barring destruction from
external violence or deprivation OF
physical necessities; whereas one that
is abnormal and siCkly is doomed
to decline. Opposition to the Church,

the heat of persecution has scorchcd
and withered a few Of The sicklY
plants, such as had no depth of sin

to promote a fuller growth and to
