Three of the Christian ministers of Ogil(ti accepted the invitation of the administration to go through a part of the levee district oil Saturday night. They ilil this that they might see the conditions which surround the citizen and the stranger on that part of God's footstool. The administration extended the Invitation In order that it might show how little damage was being done hy the levee district to the souIm of men. Of course, the administration had sent out the word and the levee district was put in as resictable condition ns possible. Everything that could offend the sensibility of the Christian preachers (at least, ns the administration foolishly measures that sensibility) was ordered to be eliminated. No profanity was to be allowed to the habitues; and only a selected class, and they strangers, were to be allowed In the hells. And yet the Christian ministers must have seen enough to fill their souls with horror for the rest of their iiHtural lives. Rev. Ora C. Wright In his sermon last night expressed the view that every such place as the dives should have written over Its entrance the one word Hell. Does the administration Imagine that it can gain anything with Christian people by this mountebank performance? The dives must have let nut a great guffaw when It was learned that Christian ministers were to go through the levee district, or a part of It accompanied by the administration. It was well known that matters were to be fixed In advance; that the word had gone out; that the visit was to be one of expected state and ceremony. The Christian ministers and the Christian people of Ogden are not to be deceived by such collusion of the administration with the evils of the town. What the administration did prove Is that it knows all about where these things are that It has such relations with them ns to be able to command their opening and closing, and the manner of conducting their business. From this day forward it can never be doubted by the three clerical gentlemen that the administration Is entirely responsible for the dives in the levee district. The ministers performed an important duty In looking at a part of the levee under administration guidance; they must have seen enough for many sermons. They may feel inclined to perform some more of their duty by going through the levee when the dives have not been notifiil of their coming; and still more of their duty by pleaching more sermons.
