All of these duties and responsibilities devolve upon us. All these things are within our reach. As a people, if weave our religion and prove ourselves worthy, we are privileged to enjoy all the blessings and mercies which God our Heavenly Father has conferred upon us through the medium of the Gospel and our ebedience there we and unto; wish to perform our duty m e w penorm, as tney say vcrjooay in the Church of Englancf, our 'Mutv in that state of life unto which It has pleased God to call us." It has pleased ooatocau us to these lands and to maae use of us for certain purposes in the interest of humanity and for the welfare of a fallen world. This is the obiect of our being gathered together, a.uu tuat we mignt ouua up a zion unto the Lord, and be Instructed; in ail fh the TlinriTlaa nf tlirhraAnonAca Integrity and everything: associated with our present and future happiness, and thos become the blessed of the Lord and our offspring with us.

At Pu?,Ji the same time we need- - not be astonished at these things. We need not be amazed at a feeling of hatred and animositv. Why? Because we are llvinsr In a tto- culiar day and age of the world, which is distinctively caiiea tne latter days, wherein it is said that God will have a controversy with the nations of the eartn. Tnere are some about these matters that men things do not understand. They think that men manipulate the affairs of men. They do in part, and they are used of ttlmes as instruments by the Almighty and sometimes by another power that Is called be.

The Lord crumbled, manipulates all these things according to the counsels of His own will. But men generally understand very little of these matters ; for there has been very little communication with God for acres, until He was pre pared to reveal His will in these last uays. let men proiess to iear God, and a great many of them seek to worship Him. There is something very remarkable said by the Prophet Isaiah when he had his vision opened in regard to the events that should transpire In the latter days; he says : ' bear; for the religion you are called upon to obey ; but we can promise to yoa that inasmuch as this 1 the case too will have eternal' life. . tWell, we have had a little of the other mixed up with it.

President Taylor continued Make the best of this we may, it Is a bad showing and Ought not to exist among the dwelling places ol the Saints. What of our drunken Saints? Our violators of the Sabbath day? our Sunday bathing trains? whereon many of our youth mix up with the ungodly, and what of many other evils that st among us? It is a shame that these things should exist in Zion in the cities of the Saints; but our would-b- e reformers are ten ..times lower and more than we are. Yes, but then depraved we have ten times too many crimes; and it is sorrowful to see it, and we can only account for it on this principle, that the .wheat and tares must grow together until the harvest, The Gospel net gathers of every kind, good and bad, sheep and goats. Again, it la but Just to those who oppose us, to say that they have their ministers, their Sunday schools, their churches, their hospitals etc, and- many, very many good and honorable men and women. But with all these agencies the record shows them to be, as a whole, ten times as corrupt aa we are.. Before they came we were comparatively free from, their gross immoralities. But what of The record shows that theirs are the gambling dens, the houses of theirs the brothels, andassignation, drinking saloons, etc and if, which God forbid, we have foeticide and infanticide it belongs to them these are their instt tutions, tney tio not neiong to us. Is it, then, any wonder that they have ten times the amount of. crime. This Is a terrible showing, and yet these aretiur reformers, our accusers;, from these proceed our courts, our Juries, etc, they assume, to be our regenerators and are trying to make us as good as they.

What else? I will say that man was not made for temples, but temples were made for man.under the direction of the Priesthood, and without the Priesthood temples wouldofamount to nothing. I speak these things for your Information; but men are not authorized to.act foolishly about these; matters Thr temples are; places - that are appropriated for a gieat many ordinances, and emong these ordinances that of marriage; but, then, if we are interrupted by men who do not know about our principles, that is all right, it will not Impede the work of God. or stop the performance of ordinances.
