Show 1 THE TITHE-PAYER SCORNED. A few days ago the new office building build-ing of tho presiding bishop of tho Mormon Mor-mon church was dedicatod and formally for-mally opened. The structure is a hnnd-some hnnd-some one, and is a credit to the builders and to the city.- It is located opposite the cast entrance to the temple block and is a distinctly ornamental addition to the group of buildings that have been erected in that, particular quarter. quar-ter. With tho completion of tho magnificent mag-nificent Utah hotel which is now under construction on that block there will be an unbroken line of attractive structures struc-tures facing the temple on the east side. Thoro wero somo addresses delivered at the dedication nnd formal opening exorcises. In tho course of these the building itself was commended for its solidity of construction, and that particular par-ticular feature of it was" made to symbolize sym-bolize the unshaken and unshakable solidarity of character of President Joseph Jo-seph F. Smith of tho church. As tho bishop's offico was expected to withstand with-stand tho winds and the rains, the thunders thun-ders and the lightnings, the oarth tremors tre-mors nnd- the subterranean grumblings, so had Joseph F. stood firm against persecution, the assaults of his "eno-mies," "eno-mies," the reviliugs of men and 'the onslaughts of Boolzebuh. Tho enterprise enter-prise of the first presidency was praise-rendered praise-rendered and, so far as tho speakers could do so, they wero given free passports pass-ports through tho pearly gates. But not a word in praiso of tho titho-payer titho-payer poor devil! who had toiled and? sweatod and hungered and thirsted to furnish tho money for tho job. |
