We have met Tbe jupectacle here to worstiipGod. of a worshipping congregation ia not new either in Utah or throughout Christendom at larse. A couutry or a people who are devoid of tho seunibiii-titf- c of the ohllgatlous which they owe to the supreme EuJe of the universe, to the creator of the world and all things ttiat in it are, would be considered panu, tvould be coneklered an uucivilioi In speak- people. in? d civfllzatidu "Emerson once said that a nation without a lansiuaffe, without clothing, witn-fu- t a system of marriage, we call heathen, we call baibarous, and he mignt have added with propriety and like truttif ulness that a people who assemble not to pay their devotion, to the Great God, the architect of ttie universe, and the com iiiou. father ol the huuiau race, are au nncivtHzed people. While we admit this to be true there are other lacts associated with aud to this subject ot the worship of tne i)elty that present themselves very forcioiy to our view, and I mav enumerate a lew of them. As I nave already said, the assemb ling topetner ol a people la a congregational capacity to pay their adorations to God their Heavenly Father Is not a strange or an exceptional spectacle, but is commoa throughout the wo; Id. Nevertheless there is great of opinion regarding divine worsnip: there are varied methods Su-of paylug those adoratlous to the preme Bein?. The worship that they oiler to Deity Is presented in ritualistic forms and descrioed methods, in systematic modes; in the form of in tne exercise of prayer, of siug-Ijof psalms, of the aoministration of sacraments, that differ very widely the one from the other. But who on account of this diversity of opinion, who on acconut of this presented variety of modes or bowing betore,( or of lifting up unto the Supreme Being our hands in adoration and praise, or In the discharge of onr devotional obligations, would aay that but one, two, three, or any restricted number should be guaranteed the liberty, the freedom, tne the toleration, religious moral political right of uowlnx the knee before God aud of volees in praise and lifting prayer to iiim who made the aun, the moon and the stiifs, and who created all things that live and uiuve and. have a being?

The subject that we have had presented before us by my respected brother who preceded me is a very inone, interesting from more teresting sides tnau one, interesting lioui every side, interesting from centre to circumference, Jn part aud in eutlrety. It is the subject ol tlje liberty to worship God according to the dictates ol a people's own conscience, unrestricted a.ad unrestrained by arbitrary or measures. He has referred to uistoncal instarjcea related In aacred History to circu matinees under which aud bv the development ot wblch the ol persecution, the spirit of the ol spirit Intolerance, tyranny and oppression has manifested itsell. It is a well known and universally lecogulzed fact, throughout all that Jeus (Jurist cutist''udom tbe Savior of tU world; that Jesus it N'uzaretii, tiie Son of God, the ren deemer of the human race, is the of our salvatiou, and that there is uo otittr ii time given under heaven vi.eicbv man can be saved but the name of Jesus. This will be readily and iuuioroua!v couct-depersistently ivowed, and zcaiouedy declared by evcrv ctiurcu that lays any claim to the lame of Christian throughout the bole world; that uc vm tUe founder iud liuUncr of that fa'.tb which ean alone save the lajiily of man; that .hroujch lllr life, death and resurree-ion- , in connection with the principle immortality and eternal life walch brought forth to the knowledge of ;;e vrnrld, in His owe person f ultjlllng very many of the prophecies relative ,o the dispensation of the fullness of times that through Him, and through Hi ui alone, should salvation come unto isiHci and a fallea world be redeemed, lhe Aposcles llr; was pleased to select tro:r amoriK the unlettered, the uncultivated and the uudistinxulshed among His fellow men, were called to be ministers of His word, to be ambassadors ot the message of salvation, to be His aera Ids ot peace peace on earth and good will to all men. It Is true He elected them from among the numble lislinueu that were following their icoupation of tlsbiug ou the sea of Galilee. It is true lie did not select tncin from the learned doctors of trie law. It is also true that they were men that had not attained to any high repute, or had been elevated to any dignified or ncholaatic position in the laud, either ecclesiastical or political, l'hey were graded as the offscourings and dregs of the humau race. They were, so to speak, the dregs of human In this age of society. Yet boasted Christian enlightenment, in this age of boasted Cnrlatlan freedom pardon me for the remark they claim that these men were the servants of tae Lord, men that bore In their possession the principles of life ind salvation unto all the world, and these men were In their day bold to make arUrmatlous such as fell very very unacceptably upon the ears of the elite, of the educated, of the refined, of the prof easlonaL classes of Jewish and of Komaa society, and also upon those who were cultivated in Greek literature, and constituted tbe most refined element of human society. Yet they were bold to declare, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in ungodliness." What do our Christian friends say? What do our pulpit declalmers announce to their congregations when they select such positive declarations, such, strong doctrinal enunciations as the one I have quoted ud many more like unto tnem what do taey' sayf Qh, they tell their Christian friends that they lament tbo darkness, the moral blindness, the intellectual and doctrinal opaqueness of that age; that had they lived in the days wheu Jesus sojourned among men, when He went about speaking words of kindness, uttering sentences of love and mercy, expressing UU good will to.tothe whole human family and seeking promulgate tne principles ol veaoa i a distracted age; say they, f'Oa that we bad lived in the days of Jesus; on that we had had the privilege of bowing down at His feet like Mary and Martha; oh tnat we had bad the opportunity of Him when the precious surrounding words of life fell from His hallowed the lips) of film wbo - spake lips , never man spake; ob that we had bad this privilege."

"B'essed are ye when mec sna'l revile ou, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against jou falsely, for my sake. '"Rejoice aud be exceedingly glad : for preat is your reward iu heaven: tor so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." This language, my beloved friends, Is of a very forcible character. Probably a few reflections upon the,seuti-ment- s Incorporated in these declarations of uuinsplred men may not be altogether usuninstructive or linprolH-abl- e unto at this time. We learn from these declarations that Jesus Christ and his followers had their names casfout as evil. If these Historians record veritable lacts aud we have no right to Question the historical verity of these statements, because they are established and verified by secular history ; if, then, they are true it becomes every thiokiux student of history, every earneot and avowed student of natural theology or of lore, to understand what it was that constituted the essence of the disagreement, vrnatif constituted the you please, tae gest, the kernel, special reason why the existing spirit, faith and teachings of the Jewish people aud of the liomau people iu th commencement of ttie Christian era were so opposed to the doctrines of Jesus Christ aud UU apostles.

But my brother who preceded me He touched a spoke of selfishness. cord that seenrrto me to be tm broke a of a very extended length. I thing t reaches over aU tbe ages.

Tne doctrines wblch the Savior taught touched thjs feeljoe Qf selCsb-nes- s. the pergonal Vanity of many The supporters of the sys-tthat I have alluded to I have no time to name tbem : there may be many of you who are historically well informed and know all about tbem; you know there were a number of philosophical schools in existence in Athens and elsewhere at that time; you are with tbe dogmas acquainted, no doubt, of tbe period. Suffice it to say that tbe most violent ami dcterminecf opposition that Jesus of Kazaretb met with in His day and generation was front tbe very class of men tnat the Christian bave BUDDOsed and world the thought He ought to bave (terired uurcuns-tla- n greatest possiQie support, preacberg and ministers tell their the. learned congregations lawthat. wbo had little eUe doctors of tbe to do but study the technicalities of the laws, to familiarize themselves with tbe genius oX their construction, with the wisdom that pro sonicated them, with tb necessities, underlying tyf ms to-d- a? need for their legislation; these ministers tell us. that they of a!l other men the signs of ought to have discovered tue times, jought to have been able to read them, and in reading them to have discovered that the Set time had come ior God to bring forth His Son Jesus Christ, and to usher iu a reign of pee.ee. But It was from this class of people that Jestis met with the most violent and persistent persecution. Aud how is my lriendi? How is it with the Latter-daSaints? I want to propound a few questions to my friends, is well as to those who have no desire to he considered our triends. I have one word to say to them. I would say, as my brother be-- i tore me has said, would to God that they could be Inspired by the same di-- . vine intelligence, by the same supreme wisdom and enlightened by the same heavenly understanding that chased away the darkness of awes, cleared up the obscurity in wuich the humau mind was enveloped iu the days of Jesus; would to God they were sincere and devout and honest, consistent be- -, lievers In the Bible, the word of God. Then we would not have much trouble la easoning with our friends. We iu obtaining an have no trouble y latellUlf-ti- t repl limii our Christian friends when we ask them, why did Jesus and His apostles receive persecution at the hands of the Jews aud of tile Unmans In their day, both as religious aud politkyi! communities. Why did they do it.' 'Jhe answer would be freely given. Because thev loved darkness rather than light; because they w ou! rt not purity their lives by the principles of Christianity; regenerating because the y wouid not deny themselves of tiiose foroidden fruits and of those uni estrained which ran riot, and of which the adherents of the Christian religion pronounce against; because Jesus upbraided them lor sin He cried aloud, "O, aud Iniquity. of vipers, who hath warned generation you to flee Irom the wrath to come?" It was because he told them the truth against themselves that they were opposed .to Him. What were the principles He taught? "Oh," says our Christian friend, "thev are to be found In tho writings of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and In the epistles of the Apostles. You will tlud there tbe Apostles teachings that Jesus aud Illsfound tbe taught, and ther( too, are reasons for all the opposition and perunsecution which they endured even to death, efen to the ignominious death of crueidslou. Well, suppose we were to ask tbe uow, whet is the reason that question tue Latter-da- y Saints are everywhere spokeu against? What is the answer? we would be answered variously well, but all lu harmony witi one certain note of disapproval. Tue answer would be: "You are uulike us. You choose to profess a religion and a polity different to U3. The constitution of your sociil structure is at variance with oUr ideas of morality. We are enthusiastically, frantically, and mercilessly incensed agaiust your social system. We cannot endure it. You must believe as we do. You must think as we do, aud II you don't choose to think and believe as we do, you must act as we do, or you oannct be In ltli owshtp with us." Now, my' f rJeada, this Is the spirit of the age in which we Jive, and 1 am respectfully at the whole world's defiance to present to zn? or any other intelligent Latter-da- y Saint a solid, logical or truthful argument of a conuadlctory nature. There never has been and there never will be an opponent whose acumen Is equal to the tak of formulating reasons rational and sufficiently to overthrow the doctrines of tbecogent religion of the Latter-da- y Saints. in the con davn then, if the ueorjlewnnsTOi --. wNow. japa.iius sistent or, poroou me, rather inconsistent as the people of uur day are, they would persist In maintaining that these doctrines should not lie taught in June,, uor tu the regions round uor In Paraphilia, nor iu Home, about, nor in Ualatia, nor anywhere. Yon must renounce these doctrines they said. But they did not renounce, aud they put them to death. Ah! That Is the secret. Hjyou, then, Christiana tha professed promulgators ol Bible Christianity do you ohoose to repeat the deeds of your forefathers? Do you choose to ltullatw ti examples of the of tb hum Die and persecutors is' az arc no by persecuting, imprisoning and putting to deatn men aud women who profess precisely the same tocology, wnq'wqralVB tb,e same God, who bow at the same sacred altar as Jesus and His apostles did, who advocate the same doctrines, who administer in the same ordinances, and who In every doctrinal particular are following their divine Master and fellow laborers, the apostles Of old? "Ah!" says one, "it Is not that exactly. If you would only promise that you would remove from your religion every objectionable feature that it now presents to the Christian world we would hail you as brethren, as fellow Christians." What did the Jewish people do? What did the Roman people doV They tojd Jcsu of fazareth m effect that if ho would strike out of the constitution of the new faith every principle and doctrine that was uncongenial, if not with the prophecies which they professed to believe in, at all events, with tneir construction of them; if they would only thesu then they pou)d live put What would with them.4way. our divlues think of Jesus aud His Apostles if they bad permitted to be nanded c dosvu to history that lu consequence tbe revelations opposition which of (tod had evoked, In the human mind, aud had caused the public pulse to beat high, to arise to feveilsh temperature, until they came to this conclusion : if we. let these men alone they will take away our name and uatioa, we cannot stand it; him! release unto crucifyhim! crucify us the tulevesMi-iraba- , anybody except Jesus of Nazareth; becruc'fy biml upon us and crucify blm His blood upon our children for ever; this was the cry of tho popubscsw and had He made this affirmation that In consequence of the determined opposition, of the broad and deepaeated enmity thai was engendeted in the hearts of the people against, tbe revealed Will of God it was best to cease to proclaim His glorious principles, it was best to Of Ills ordinstop the administration ances, it was best to surrender their allegiance to Almighty God and bow In to their fellow men, crouching servility in difference to tbem and rebellion to the God of heaven. What Would oar christian ministers think of such a body of men as t bat of Jesus a and His Apostle- - assuming pos ltlon of that - kind before tnem? How well they bare declaimed In favor to-da- y, to-da- y y : j I j to-da- s dls-pis- to-da- true. I would go to pilson I would not deny It for anybody." Well, what would you think of a man wbo would deuv that which he knew u be true, or no when tbe truth, required blm to ' say say ves? Could you trust blm as a Free Mason or au Odd Fellow or In any I'tlier capacity where truebeartedneos aud genuine humau worth Is to be ap-- , Certainly not. predated aud sought? Well, now, my friends, we have aro none very plain remarks this after-- i noon. Permit me in conclusion to say that I am very sorry that we are forced Into this .uninviting situation; but being forced into It, pushed Into it,-' if you please, driven into It, lagIslated into it, wbat can we do? What would you advise us to do? Your ad-- I vice would be this possibly: "Wo believe that you people only say that you know thls'work In wblch you are en gaged Is of God. We do not believe you do know. We think you are like the rest ot tbe Christian world, and that your knowledge Is no more divine, or that yon bare any closer communoo with God than the rest of the sects of the Christian world, and they "dbnt profess to know, oniv to believe Therefore yon are" rery presumptuous to say you know these things. You to know better. You bad thereoutQi fore better place Yourselves lu accord with us, cornea Mttle nearer to us, and: Just say you dom believe certain prin ciples in your religion, ami we will tolerate tbe other portion." My friends, if we were placed In this of our own doing we would position idadly come to terms, we would gladly settle this question before tbe setting oi another aavs sun. But wnen we know that God bas spoken from be ven ; when we ksow as well as we know that we live that the revelations which we have received against Which tbe world are now flzbUBg ara of God. born of heaven, of heavenly descent, we can but say in conclusion tbat we will do all we can, we will keep every law tnat it is poagioie ior us to keep, we will honor onr irovernment to the best of our ability ; but if we are asked to cnose tnis aay wnom we will serve, God or Belial, wbat do you take us for? Hypocrites, knaves, fools, asinine actors in J.he drama of life, or what? No, my friends. I will say as one of old. 6ld: "Though be slay roe, yet wu i trust in turn." we know the principles are rigbiy nowe ' know are eternal, matter tbey wc consequences. wtiat mar Suppose we are put to death some of us, wbat of that? By putting us to death they simply place us beyond their power they can do nothing more. As Jesus said, "Fear not tbem which kill tbe body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Illm wblch is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Now, If we are philosophers, if we are men of wisdom. If we are students of the principles of Intelligence and of truth, why certainly we will make a wise selection, we will elect to serve Him who, o rested ns, and we trust tbat (Jod our heavenly Father when He has so tar matured Hlspur-pose- s, which are essential to the consummation of tbe end ior wtlch He bas permitted this crusade to be waged against ns, will' be pleased to soften tbe hearts of those around ns as He did in former dispensations, and ae He bas done with our own nation In omr own day tbat He Will mould and temper the dispositions of men, and that He will make tbe wrath of man to praise Him and the residua He will restrain. May God grant this, la my prayer In Hie name of Jesus. Amen. i of-th- Constipation j j ' l.asssi ' The tusks o -- a ..mas todon suCa f7 pound found i.
