Show The Paper That Dares To Take A April 28, 1977 The Utah Independent Page 3 Stand HONOR THE LAW Mormon loaders in Salt Lake City have urged worldwide respect for both ecclesiastical and secular laws. In a statement released in connection with the upcoming observance of Law Day, May I, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints says good, citizenship is a key to more abundant, joyful living." and the Ten Commandments were meant not only for the Israelites of old, but for us law-abidi- ng today." The statement, signed by President Spencer W. Kimball, world leader of the Church, and his counselors in the First Presidency. Presidents X. Eldon Tanner and Marion G. Romney, is as follows: Across America on the first day of May, a Sabbath this year, people will observe Law Day. On that day we call on members of the Church, and all men and women around the world, to reflect on the blessings of good laws, and of observing them. For nearly a century and a half, one of the fundamental teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints has been the Twelfth Article of Faith: We believe in being subject, to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. Much of the basic law of many lands comes from the Ten C ommandments given to Moses by the Lord on Sinai. They were for the Israelites then. They are for us today. In this day of rising permissiveness we commend to people everywhere the truism that we cannot break the Ten Commandments. We can only break ourselves against them. We also express the hope that no government will enact laws, the observance of w hich will require a v iolation of any of the Ten Commandments or the other commandments of God. citizenGood, ship is a key to more abundant, joyful living. Taxes could be much lower, people would be more happy with their neighbors, homes would be strengthened, and each individual would find more inner peace, if laws were better observed. Let us teach our children more respect for the law. To do so is a precious investment in their in the freedom challenging tomorrows ahead." law-abidi- ng 1 ' O PROFITABLE ADVERTISING is our business.

Therefore, unless these moves are OPPOSED as often and as vigorously as they are the end evil wins by default by the other side tiring, and quitting. So I will point up two instances of the persistent long range propaganda pushers still at work, and make a little effort to counteract them. One is the planned promotion of dead Communist Paul Robeson, a talented black who lived part of PROPOSED, in his life in Russia. Philadelphia, now most conspicuously in He died perhaps anti-Americ- the cradle of liberty", the enemy seems to have picked it out to transform it into the couch of communism".

Robeson, for the last decade of his life, spent in Philadelphia, was not in the news in fact he was a recluse. His death would not have made a ripple. except that like Martin Luther King and Eldredge Gcaver (rapist and advocate of cop killing) the liberal press appears to be on a coordinated campaign to make heroes out of former communist advocates. While at the same time defame the name and they reputation of stalwart patriots like J. Edgar Hoover, and try to destroy our FBI and CIA. These things do not happen by accident. If you now accept" and lionize Robeson, you are one step nearer to accepting what he stood for and admired, COMM UN ISM.

So it is fitting that the Philadelphia papers, outspokenly should be the focal point an of attempt to make over the image of Paul Robeson. Listen to this blurb by a Philadelphia Inquirer staff writer: Schools arc being named for Robeson, and film festivals have become popular at many colleges. Robeson's phono, records, banned in this country for years, arc selling briskly.

Womens Enslavement still needs three states, and recently has been beaten also in the two Carolinas.

As in all of thedouble-tal- k of this power-seekin- g oligarchy, there is no explanation given to us as to why the district boundaries arc not artificial, if city boundaries arc ipso facto artificial. (See dictionary definitions.) BASIC CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT mayor of one of Salt Lake Countys cities has recently said.
