Show surroE A CASE Ono would naturally suppose that the infamously contemptible reports of the re lltrious services at tho tabernacle which appear in the Tribune wosk after week alongside the reports of services in other churches would rouse some action on the I part of tho various ministers of the city but one looks in rain for si any sign that would show the ministers in the least discountenance dis-countenance such shocking travesties There is not 1 minister in the city we I presume who does not accept the statement state-ment in the Holy Book that the Savior broke bread blo ed it and bade his disciples partake of it in remembrance of Him the Mormns interpret this literally and their oowvancj of the sarament is especially reviled jeered at and made the object of low witticisms such as are f I j enough to maim even the infidel blush for f I his species We wonder what the Gentile mInisters C I would have to say how it would strike the respectable nonMormon element i THE I HEISALD wero to single out one of the Gentile I Gen-tile churches of the citjSt Marks for instanceand instruct its reporter to handle the services th rj us if they were a rorstor fiht Siprose the Rev Mr PorNAit a geutloman all classes respect were jovially referred to as he took his place in the pulpit as Old PUT Supposing the facetious reporter took exceptions to tho fit of his gown or I surplice or went si far as to ask him where ho got his authority for the cut of his garments what they intended to represent rep-resent who left the or fashion on record t Suppose tho practice of making collections in the congregation prevalent in nearly every church except the Mormon Mor-mon were taken up and handled as tho Tribune handles the ordinance of the sacrament sacra-ment at the tabernacle Suppose Mayor SCOTT and Mr Gen Y WALLACE who C formerly officiated as passers of the plate at St Marks if they do not now do so were humorously held up to the public a gage analyzed and their personal peculiarities peculiar-ities and idiosyncracies descanted upon what a howl would be raised The mere making of a suggestion such I this we are perfectly well aware will evoke criticism but we beg to assuro thu public that wero the Tribunes course to become ten fold more beastly and scurrilous than it is we should be tempted to no such scoundrelly means of reprisals In the meantime i the ministers minis-ters of the city can afford to allow their political organ to continue in its present vein the Mormons surely can afford to let I them It ought to show to the world at least that the Mormons outrageously lied about and misunderstood as they aroaro I still the most patient and longsuffering of people and the impunity with which a sheet like the Tribune continues its abuse of their sacred rites affords the best possible possi-ble proof of the fact |
