Show HIS FILTHY MOUTHINGS It appears that thcro was distinguished distin-guished encouragement extended lo President Hebcr C. Kimball to address himself to tho saints in public as he did in the. early days of Utah. Wc arc led to think this from an expression once made by President Brigham Young in a sermon preached "on August 2. IS57. in which he -said: "T can say furthermore that )-ou cannot, the best of you, beat Brother Kimball -S; language. lan-guage. You may call up the college-bred college-bred man, and ho cannot beat it." (See Journal of .Discourses, volume 3, page 97.) - Merely for tho purpose of indicating the prophetic taste in tho matter of language and expression in tho pulpit, Tho Tribune had intended to here pro-Bent pro-Bent a few quotations from the Kimball Kim-ball sermons as they arc printed in the Journal of Discourses, and ns uttered upon the stand in tho old tnbernaclo or the bowery here in Salt Lnkc City, with a request to its readers to remember remem-ber that this language was not The Tribune's, but President Kimball's, approved ap-proved and commended to the Mormon people by Brigham Young. But upon examining these extracts to tho number num-ber of a dozen or more, wo found it impossible to reproduce them and to expect decent citizens to admit the pa-por pa-por to thoir homes. They aro so filthy and so vile that they would shame the mind and defile the mouth of tho. lowest low-est blackguard in Utah today. And yet they were the utterances of a pretonded prophet, seer and rcvelalor, and woro commended to tho "Mormon people by tho chief of the protcndcdly 'prophetic cult. |
