Show MINISTERS PLEASED WITH SM00T CASE The flrot meeting, for this month, of the Salt Luke Ministerial association, wan held yesterday morning, when new ofllcers wore, elected. Rov. T. W. Plnkerton, pastor of the Christian church, was elected president; Chaplain W. C. Marvin of Fort Douglas, vice-president, vice-president, and the Rev. T. H. Gilbert of Sandy, secretary. The paper was read by the Rev. J. C. Andrews of Murray on the subject of the Zlonlstlc movement of the Jews. The gist of the argument was that the scriptural teaching, and the unanimous consensus of the prophecies show that ail tho Jews will be gathered in the Holy Land before Christ comes again. No official act was taken and no resolution reso-lution was paswd concerning the course of affairs in tho Sirioot Inquiry. The matter was Informally discussed, and very natural satisfaction was felt at the complete vindication of all the claims that had been made In the now famous protest which was Mod by the association associa-tion before the election, of Smoot. It was felt that there was really nothing to be said nor any act to be taken; everything that they had claimed, after a very careful compilation of evidence, was not only proved, but much that they had never mentioned was added. In view of the fact that the Ministerial Mini-sterial association had been severely abused, not only In public statements of the Mormon leaders, but In the columns of the church organ, for "presuming "pre-suming to falsely criticise men who were- Infinitely better than, they were." The views taken was that, for tho time being, at any rate, their work in the matter was accomplished. |
