Show SALT LAKE ANARCHISTS. They Hold Up Sacred Snbjtcfa to Brutal IMdlcale. Editor Detent Jfieivi : In this morning's Tribune I notice what purports to be a report of yesterday's yes-terday's services in the Tabernacle. That a newspaper published by what are called Christians and read by Christians sbould describe tbe communion service of any church In tho following words Is something that will astonish even atheists. Here arstho words of tho Tn'june report: ''Brother Penrsee offered prayer, after which the choir s log, after which a scoto of flunkeys fed and watered tho animal;." If there is in this broad land a Christian who endorses such a presentation of the communion service of any church, then In truth Christianity is a failure. The report further sayj: "Ho told the story of Adam and the apple, and how Eve and tbe moccasin moc-casin snake beguiled the father of mankind Into contracting an stuck st-uck of Uii colic Tben he described tbe death of Abel and bow Cain willop;ied tlie stuffing out of him with a club. Cain was a brute, and thus the sermon went." This Is Just how Johau Most and Mrs. Parsons, the Anarchists de-scrltie de-scrltie tho same biblical Incident when ridiculing Christianity and the Bible. Tbe Tnbune may suppose sup-pose that such language as this reviles Mormonism aioue; in that it is mistaken. It is an attack on all religion. It is an outrage on the acred beliefs of the vast majority of American people. This is just bow tbe Bible ia handled in the slums or all large cities, by the the Communists of P.irls, by tbe Red Socialists of Berlin, by the Anarchists of Chicago, and by fas I see now) alleged Christians of cSsit Lake City. Being a stranger in this city and having attended yesterday's services ser-vices in tbe Tabernacle, I eanBot help repudiating, as a Cbristiaa. Neil foul and villainous preseeta. Uons of the BYstt important sacraments sacra-ments of tbe Bible. Heaven help tho couatry Which depends on Rich a souree for patriotism patriot-ism and purification, for sanctiflaa-tion sanctiflaa-tion and evangelisation. That's what I say. Hntxatm..
