cause the arrest of certain parties who are under surveillance A new chapter was added to the pres mormon controversy yesterday afternoon the mutual improvement conference afforded the opportunity and brigham H roberts was the medium through which the rev dr thompson and the presbyterian assembly were dressed down elder roberts charged that the reverend gent lemans address was an incitation to mob violence and brute force and he directed his sharpest arrows of wit and logic at the revision of the presbyterian by terian creed by the assembly president joseph F smith was down on the program for the address of the day but he evidently decided that elder roberts was better equipped to smite the philistines for he yielded his place to the onetime one time congressman mr roberts text was the one word howl he read a portion of a revelation handed down at kirtland 0 in 1832 promising worldly knowledge to the saints and said it was the duty of the latter day saints to keep well informed on current history it is only a little while he said since the ministers of the presbyterian church assembled in solemn conclave to consider their own church work and incidentally ci to look a little after ours one of the propositions advanced at that meeting involves nothing more and nothing less than to crush mormonism if they are really going to crush us I 1 think we are a little int erected in knowing how they are going to do it one of the speakers who the dispatches say was most applauded said that mormonism was not to be educated not to be civilized not to be reformed but must be crushed I 1 say we are interested in knowing how this is to be done fortunately or unfortunately tuna tely this gentleman set forth his ideas as to how it was to be done he compared the church to an octopus and quoted from victor hugo telling how the octopus put forth first one tentacle and then another wrapping the victim in its slimy coils and he adds there is ono moment in which to seize it says vector hugo it is when it thrusts forth its head it has done it its high priest claims a senators chair in washington now is the time to strike perhaps to miss it now is to be lost wonderful wisdom worthy of a great divine 1 A most lame and impotent conclusion like the labor of the mountain that brought forth a mouse 1 if my voice could reach the gentleman I 1 would tell him that away dowa in the recesses of my soul I 1 have a faint recollection of a time in 1898 when a certain gentleman was elected to congress they said that that was the time to strike and I 1 have a faint recollection that they struck in response to the sentiment created by men like those at the presbyterian assembly congress refused to receive the gentleman from utah but what effect did that have on about as much as a mosquito alighting on the moon would have on that celestial orb and I 1 heard that the gentleman on whom they delivered the how has had his shadow grow perceptibly less in consequence of it I 1 do not relate these things with any bitterness I 1 understand the law of the gospel that we are not to answer railing with railing and that we are not to smite those who smite us the church of jesus christ occupies a position so exalted that it may smile on the efforts of men to destroy it their senseless resolutions and their impotent fulminations fall harmless at its feet when you are dealing with a thing that is not to be corrected by education or by civilization and which cannot be reformed what agency will you invoke there is nothing left but force force means mobs and armies can it be that in the nineteenth century in the midst of christian civilization a body of religious ministers propose as we are led to believe to cast aside education civali bation and reform all these enlightened methods and that brudd force must stand out as a religious institution and the man who voices that sentiment receives the most applause from the assembly of the divines in the same spirit in which these anti mormon resolutions were cast in the presbyterian assembly in lo 10 angeles they declared that the law could not reach joseph smith but powder and ball could and they finally did they struck down the prophet who was then the head of the church but it did not hurt mormonism the blood of the martyr was the seed of the church his death became a holy recollection to the church and his teachings an inspiration to the saints in the time of trial when the church survived this blow at its head they said it was the benius of brigham young that kept the church alive that when he died there would be a contest for his position that would disrupt the church in the providence of god he passed away yet we now have an institution more powerful better organized than any other earthly institution except perhaps the german army the church has survived because the work is infinitely greater than any man or any set of men elder roberts then rehearsed the fa story of gods assurance to the prophet joseppi that all creeds were an abomination to him and went on but would you believe that tah very assembly by the action they are taking on their creed are confirming 1 the teachings of mormonism and proving the justice of the lords judgment here he read the doctrine of predestination which he said was not yet reformed and the part that wag reformed concerning the damnation of all but elect infants he referred to the confession of rev mr thompson that sectarian churches in utah were a protest and little more v sectarian schools an invitation and little more and exclaimed 1 I rejoice in their failure and I 1 rejoice and am thankful for their acknowledgment know of it 1 hope they will go on reforming their creed adding a little light and a little more and a little more until when their eyes become accustomed to it they may look upon the fullness of the truth INFANT HOUSE LElL morris morrison eight years of age who lives with his parents on fourth south between west
