interested in tho the reports riven given in by the presidents and officers arid and to know the condition of tile associations I 1 have also been pleased and interested in the manner arid and that dictated those called u upon 0 r I 1 to speak was especially pleased ta this s in morning orning with tile the energetic policy ot of the young oung people in their labors labor and duties as latter day saints especially with tile tho remarks in reference to the abstaining from intoxicating drinks and the manifest opposition to the opening of saloons ions in our midst I 1 was atry much surprised and grieved since my arrival in this city to learn that there were it ft number of 0 latter day saints desirous that the city council of provo should pant grant the pi lit of opening saloons here here I 1 hai hae e not inquired as to v ito the parties t 8 are re that hint have signed this petition but ut I 1 have heard some seme names mentioned I 1 was ila BO much surprised surprised to hear them that I 1 mado made no furt further or inquiry if my MT mind huud Is permeated by tho the right s spirit irit if I 1 know what is necessary for tr tho 10 advancement of the latter day saints then I 1 must condemn uny such mover movement neut I 1 am surprised myself that men of judgment that men professing to bo be latter day saints would bo willing to place in the way of tho the youth ol of zion the means of leading them antray thero there are no arguments in favor of I 1 licensing an any thing that would work a T eater e etisa it is a shame for latter 11 eliy ty saints t aieta to discuss or argue amio that it is necessary beress ry to license an evil lor for the purpose ose of ra raising sin funds tor for it 11 city or com coin if the latter day saints are going goin to tike take the position that it is essa astary to foster crime and to encourage in in or moriji er r to raide dollars and cents it is deflor deplorable ble indeed thre there are ro nonea none that have stopped to reflect but whitt what know that there are many who may escape escapa the snares and tempt scions of the evil one if the snares and t in t ons are I 1 not ot presented to th them em ifko it w never app approach roach a precipice th there ere will be no danger il niner of our falling fillin but I 1 if f w a stand stan do over V er t tho I 1 i a precipice t there i ere is no telling telli nj what moment we ne may fall it would be b better that ills city become bankrupt than unit that its citizens raould resor resort to such means it if it is is dollars anil and cents that we e are here hoi e for ahe he quicker we leave utah the better no 0 o true latter lay day saint 1 is I 1 ere solely tor for the lie purpose of personal advancement and oame aho fin do lobat bet their hell ris upon runes riches cann cannot t prosper the latter ilay day w who ho has lia the tha spirit of the gospel at heart knows knous that the it pitt i ft it is lifo life eternal the utter latter day h V binti ti have orna come out from the and it if it be tor for dollars iril cents it show to MO m that they should get gd back to tho world from whence they gathered and tile quicker they get there the better it will bo be tor for them but if they wish to work tor for their own lavation Li salvation they will not measure the blessings ol of heaven by the things of this world the man who loves a dollar better than lie ha does docs the kingdom of 0 god and its advancement will undoubtedly wake up some morning and find himself avith only the dollar I 1 am always sorry to ito see anybody depart from ali the kinghorn kin kingdom glorn of iod god when wo know that keeping tho the co commandments of god will III lead us ua back into ins ilia presence realizing ti the to hopes addlia and happiness p lit ness that enter in every human heart bea rt and the duties rest ing upon us it IS ia natural for its in to deal desire re the welfare of till all latter day saints it is unfortunate indeed when a P man who ft ho achs claims fins to be a latter 1 atter day saint will take a position calculated C 11 to retard the work ot OE god whenever W the devil power then I 1 will ail I 1 to make in me e do something do it but I 1 hopf hop arid and pray I 1 mity may ne never ve or 1 take that step and that thedieo the dev I 1 may never hivo have such euch power over me if a man mail claims that him hib reason for over oer 0 O nin ills hia eckness ea kness is because lie he cant help e P it because lie is powerless to I 1 would wool ita think more of him than I 1 boull would if lie ho said that lie he did it because come body else did it I 1 am a long way from being perfect but somehow I 1 think the lor fjord does not give us ua a comman commandment d unless he gives us power to kee keep p it I 1 believe there therb is not ft a single law that the people cannot observe it they ma make ke up UD minds minda to do so BO if ft a man ma up UD so BO ft a would say aay 1 I can quit drinking whiskey and do so BO I 1 am charitable toward won liim i but there is ia no man who ila is required to follow tile tho example of his bia nei neighbor hb or ila I 1 have ve no desire in my heart libart to reflect upon my fellows but I 1 have a strong demire to encourage every man woman and child to try to keep the tha commandments of god I 1 pray every day for the 2 aid id of atthe the I 1 loly holy spirit that I 1 may keep tile the commandments ol of god 1 I have nothing against my follow fellow manaut have a 6 very strong desire to make them turn a from the cnora of their ways knowing as I 1 do that there la Is safety only in in keeping the commandments 0 of go god many leave been in the habit of leaning upon tho the presidency of the chu church ach depending apon their advice but it will not lie many years ears till the people will havo have to get t their acir advice entirely from god slid and to rely upon the revelations tb through rought his holy spirit there are some latter day saints who have filled missions to the nations of the earth and when they bave returned home felt above doing little things there is nothing more dun dangerous to tile latter day saints than acta a spirit of pride and of educating ourselves or our children in fa tile the sciences and arts to the neglect or exclusion of the gospel of salvation soine boino would like to become great students without the labor the thy conid like to find a dictionary that they could open out and sea it all at a glance so BO with man many 0 of the latter day saints they won wound alike like the blessings without tile the labor the christian world believe that nil all that is necessary is to believe in the lord jesus christ and bo be saved thai tha t is getting gettin g a great at deal for nothing in my opinion whenever Yh enever a man comes along and tells me I 1 am a poor deluded and that I 1 can be do saved by simply believing on the lord je jesus bus christ I 1 urn am led to believe that his religion Is is spurious because true christianity tells me that what I 1 would have I 1 must work for there is no blessing that I 1 can obtain unless I 1 work for it the speaker then exhorted tho the saints to faithfulness spoke about about the good the crusade was doing in in purifying tho the church the enemies of ct god can do nothing against us but tor for us bro bra cluff announced that a fair would be ba held in springville Spring villo ville com commend ing on saturday oct 21 under the auspices ot of tile tho young peoples associations requested OB as many na as could du do so BO to contribute it was
