Show I 1 REMARKS by president BC H C kimball tabernacle Taber natle bikov NOT 19 Is 1864 I 1 I 1 expect to make but a few remarks what ll 11 alj I 1 i has been said to day and other times corresponds with my feelings perfectly cand candidly idly and ho honestly neit I 1 do not believe there is any decent men or a I 1 man that could be called callea a saint that Is a saint can be so and sell beer arid and oth other r strong drink without he is counseled to get a license for so PO doing I 1 believe that perso persons are corrupt who will take a course to sen sh intoxicating liquors unless anleu they have the proper cou counsel nisel to do it they a at corrupt as well as ah externally and aud are never satisfied but act as though they wanted to 0 make everybody else just as filthy as 1 they are I 1 I 1 d di no not tareq frequent bent such places I 1 never have I 1 ne never ver did before I 1 heard beard of mormonism I 1 never I 1 called at such places only as I 1 was obliged to well I 1 say these things and at the same time every one of these men profess to be latter day saints and are elders in israel now if they do not retract and carry back their licenses forthwith they will be severed from this people theme are my feelings I 1 I 1 look at it brethren and sisters you wh who profess to be saints and have come from t the he 0 united states from E england it ga at id from from asis asia and from almost all parts of the earth to leave the corruptions corrupt ions of the world and when here pollute this people you ought to be severed from the tha ch church what makes me feel so ao As br grant said I 1 dislike those who have persecuted us and k killed our prophet and driven us from our homes but I 1 fur far more dislike those poor miserable curses that will wil 1 come here and pollute this people bursel and a appear as though they are determined to do iland e establish liquor shops slid and beer shops and an dother other vile holes and if they could establish these nasi ty places the next thing would be a whore house to accommodate the world as you call them it I 1 runs into that iniquity and the devil knows it and a nd laughs to see how low easy so many are prone oroile to ko ed cd ph kioa ft wano ario pt iw in b tu saints and elders in Isra elbut again tire are combined as robbers and thieves right here in our midst we know some of nhem but let them work for their illein time is certain and their reward sure v if I 1 wanted to drink liquor I 1 would drink tt ft decently but I 1 would not give it to others to make brutes of them and use tip our grata grain tile the stat staff of life which is to sustain the poor saints that I 1 coma here from the old countries some will boil up that grain and land hand it out iw in intoxicating drinks Itis it is astonishing that 4 profet professed ded saint will do it but they are at i it t I 1 would bri bring n g baek back my license voluntarily before I 1 was taken before the city council and dealt with and let it I 1 while 1 lived upon this earth why dont you do doit it when a man follows drinkin wilex will lan an inlo and become a thief and lie aud and steal and defraud his brethren I 1 know or of men having the priesthood who have taken that eliat course and have become robbers and thieves and you yon will be astonished when you von find it out oat they sit beside you all the time and meet you yeu in holy places u and nd pray in ili a sacred man manner ner You donot know them but bat thanks be to god to the pod god whom I 1 serve that lie he does touch the eyes eves 0 of thy my faitel faithful ol 01 brethren so that they see they sea their secret works and abominations but here hera some would sit and console themselves and let these abominations brew away in ill our midst and brew until sorrow is upon us you have got to see sorrow except yo ye repent and that speedily straight away I 1 know it just as well as I 1 know that the sun suit ever rose or will set agan I 1 I 1 let those who desire to do right now rise up As policeman and let us put away this iniquity right speedily and let us put it out of our midst and let ahe people take tle lle coin a sil 1 that br brigham has given them today to day and at other times that thata a for the quorums to go to work at once and purify themselves I 1 id I 1 do no not t p preside res ide over any quorum in particular br boig brigham r han is a m my y president but I 1 preside over my family and awill I 1 will cleanse my family I 1 will begin there as that is a little kingdom within a a kingdom and I 1 am determined to ile be
