unmercifully Sunday night at the church
Hi of tho Utah Conference, of Seventh Day
Hj Advontlsls' by the pastor. S. G. Iluntlng-
Hj ton, in one of tho strongest sermons
Hj preached on Mormonism liore In several
Hi months.
Hj Tha Eermon was in effect an accept -
nnco of tho challenge of the loaders of the
Mormon church to meet the Gentile mln-
HJ Isters In a discussion of the- doctrines of
tho Latter-day Saints' church. Polygnmy
and the claims sot forth ly the church
that Joseph Smith has held communion
Hj with God were severely scored by Jtev.
H Mr. Huntington. "Tho Absurdities of
Mormonism" was the topic he chose, and,
taking for his text I. John 1:1'- "Beloved,
believe not every spirit, hut try the splr
Its whether they are of God; Ijccnuso
ninny false prophets arc gone out into
tho world," ho said In part:
1 "Tho more I Investigate the origin and
j teachings' of Mormonism the moro 1 am
1 convinced tlint It Is one of the greatest
heresies of the Christian era. That Ja
veph Smith was u prophet of God cannot
Hj bo consistently believed If wo aro willing
to give to tho Holy Scriptures their proper
place in the examination of the claim.
The Bible provides .a definite rule whereby
all such spirits are to be tested. To the
law and to the testimony. If they speak
not according to this word, it Is because
there is no light In them.
No Light in Smith.
"Has Joseph Smith spoken, according
lo tho law and the testimony? After the
most careful research 1 am fully prepared
to tell you that he has not. Take for
tnslanco the Immoral and uncivilized prac-lice-of
polygamy originally promulgated
by. Smith. 1 ak, 'Is that of God?' By
i no means. I know that our polygamous
xiolghbors try to make It appear that their
posltlouon this )Oiiu Is well founded In
scripture, hut' a careful examination re
veals that a doctrine so unholy as a com
mtinity of wives Is nowhere embraced In
, the mandates of God.
"Again, the declaration of Smith that ho
caw and communed with God, was visited
by looter, James and John, Is all oon-
Hl trary to the scriptures. We are plainly
Hi told in Holy Writ that no man can look
upon the faco of God the Father and live:
while the truth Is made equally plain
that the dead know not anything, nor
have any more a part forever
HJ in anything that Is done under the sun.
Hj .Further, the reason assigned for the rlso
of Mormonism Is also far from tenable,
Hl that the gospel had been completely wlth-
drawn from the earth during the aposlaey
nd, therefore, had to lie restored, which
is claimed was done " through Joseph
Smith. This teaching, embracing ns It
Hf does the reason for the existence of Mor-
Hf ,'monisrii, Is likewise unsellpturnl and,
therefore. proves that Mormonism was
H' born in n mistake, as everyone can see.
Then, again, take the Mormon doctrine
.of priesthood, second probation, gathering
of literal Israel, the us" of the tithe, vir-
j 1.ue in peculiarly marked and blessed gar- :
'jnents, authority, celestial marriage, loni

H 1 ask, do we llnd those teachings as In- j
tcrproted by Mormonism. sot forth? '
"1 affirm that while Jowph Smith is
jlho recognized founder of Mormonism.
that behind Joseph Smith, Mormonism has
but a single prop for lie support. That
prop is ono of the Serpent, cunningly pre

V:co him making of it through the prc

that light, wisdom, menial happiness and

'pin and death.
Rcsonts Smith's Explanation.
"Perhaps there are those hero tonight
jwho wonder why I speak so plainly on
;tho questions under consideration. I ro
ply tliat J observe that week after week
j ho loaders of this icople stand in their
tabernacle of this city and iterate and ro

wa a prophet of God, c.valt him to nu

H and all this hecausu the- are not In any
wise associated with the 'Mormon prleBt
Jiood ordained by Joseph Smith and hnnd
r.d down by his successors.
"Thus upon the single doctrine the
doctrine of tho divino call of Joseph
H Smith, behind which, as wo have seen,
in no more than the word of (he Serpent.
Mormonism defiantly .-esse its her claim of
Hj the personal and exclusive representation
of God on earth. This assertion Mormon
teachers believe that all men should un
j hesitatingly accejit. that it Is Imperative
to their best Interests, both hero and
hereafter, and. therefore, like kicking
1 against the pricks to reject It. So In thin
j wise it Is that Mormonisni constantly
llaunls hursclf before an Intelligent pub
H lie. Shall those, then, who are not of tho
Mormon persuasion, slL idly by and al
low such pretentious claims to go unchal

H Ihoreforo demand of our Smithsonian ad-
H vocates, Bible evidence that their prophet

"Assumption Is not enough. Wo want

enants anli Pearl of Great Price. This
H being true, all these works ought to agree,
B one with the other. In both word and doc-

1 there Is the greatest variance among
B them, especially Is this so between the
1 Bible and tho three remaining books,
B vhich are supposed to contain the wrlt-
Ings of Smith. But that no one may har-
' hor the idea that I am unable to support
all that T affirm relative to the matter
under 'niiKlderatiou tonight, I will go a

Calls Smith Bogus Prophet.
"N'ow these propositions are unques

porters of Mormonism. who so persistently
Insist In their clnlm of divine and ex
clusive rights to preach the gospel
through Joseph Smith are willing to an

In getting at the one great issue between
Mormons and other religious bodies may
seem a little out of the ordinary, wo do
not say that it i not, but It must bo
remembered that extreme evils re
quire extreme remedies. Further, It must
also be understood tltat It is not we
who havo taken the Initiative in this
controversy. By the very nature of tho
case being held up and unchrlstlnnired by
the Mormon church, and that by vlrtuo
we refuse to acknowledge her divine call
and authority through a bogus prophet,
we are Inevitably dilvm to a question
where w must either stand tip like men
of conviction Jo duty's call and refute
the presumptuous claims of Mormonism,
or else forsake the banner uf truth to
be trailed in the dust by Its enemies.
"Therefore, as a minister of the gospel,
1 wish lo raise my voice in no uncertain
tones against the fabulous claim of Mor
monism of divine origin and exclusive
favors through Joseph Smith; against the
Infamous teachings of polygamous co
habitation and againHl tho constant and
unscrupulous declarations of tabernacle
orators that Mormonism alone represents
the truth of God as revealed through
Jesus Christ, or that it Is the only true
scheme of salvation among men.'"
The Optimist.
In its preamble the Optimist Club
liictil.iuns the J'ncL llial "God reigns, tho
Union slill lives and tho sun still
shines," and it might bo added that
we must have homes to live in. The

SELF. THE WOULD AND GOD
ESSENTIAL TO LIVING
Christianity Meant, Not Divine
Dispensation, hut Breaking
of Old Bonds.
At tho Christian church Sunday, tho
Kov. William Thurston Brown asked his
auditors whether they faced merely a
new year, or a now life! A new year, he
said, was not so much time, but new
life, ncV hope, new outlook', new fnllh,
now moaning and valuo seen to belong to
life. "No man," quoth ho, "or woman, Ik
going to drift on the current of the days
and months into a new year there is no
curronl that bears any soul to such a
havon. This old planet of ours knows no
such thing ns a new year. Timo has no
value or meaning except as It is filled
with human life, motived by Ideals and
moving toward higher ends. There is
timo on tho surface of the moon Hint
bleok old clndor which floats, silent and
untenanted, through the heavenly space
as much timo ns there Is anywhere. Hut
how much Is time, worth and how much
moaning has It on tho surface of the
rnoon? Time has moaning or value only
as Ihnso human lives of ours havo moan

Equipment for Life.
Self, this human world, anil God, or self,
the world and tho highest concelvablo
Ideal, wero the real equipment for life,
ho averred. This equipment, ho thought,
was essential to all occupations and rela
tions that contain good. "If you cannot,
In this occupation of yours, or In this
friendship or affection or any sort of re
lation, express yourself." argued Dr.
Brown, "If it affords no chance for the
blossoming of your nature, If you do not
grow and expand by moans of It; or If you
do not, or cannot, through It respond to
tho world's demand for hrotherhod, If It
does not sot you In that relation to your
fellow man; ami. finally. If you arc not

those higher Ideals, which have dawned
In the human mind, then your occupa
tion, or affection, or whatever It Is, Is
unworthy of you, a dlsiippolntment to
others, and a denial of God."'
The commencement of the Christian era,
he said, meant, rather than something
marvelous, spectacular and blazed across
tho heavons ils a new and dlvlno dispen
sation, a departure from the beaten path
of established things, to tho handful of

attaching themselves to an outlaw, a here
tic, he said, tho man most hated by tho
respectable and religious pcoplo of his
time.
Divine Call Is Ahoad.
"What does It mean now for you or us.
or any ono really, to enter upon a now
llfo? It doesn't moan turning our faces'
toward the past any past. It doesn't
mean accepting the established, the tra

' of big ones that is simply appalling.
I For him and others of his ilk the guards
1 havo invented what might be classed as
t
- - -
tho "pillory,'' a post plac-od deep and
immovable In tho ground-in one of tho
most unprotected spots in City creek
canyon. To this post aro handcuffed
the obstreperous "ivhon thoy refuse to
work. Thoy aro left chainod to tho
post until they express a willingness to
break rocks, and in case they arc par
ticularly obstinate, they are made to
support a heavy load of rocks until thoy
give in.
irnwlcy'fi aversion to work becamo
pronounced Inst, week and he spent a
part of four days chained to tho post
before- his obstina3' was broken and
he agreed to work. The fourth day
his obstinacy was so decisive tho
guards tied 011 to his back u sack of
rocks weighing ninety pounds. After
supporting thq-wcight for tiomc timo
Hawloy gave in.
Ifawdoy's present term in the chain
gang is thirty days, of which he lias
only eight to serve. His laet term was
for forty days. He is nn excellout pi
anist and at its expiration Policeman
Harris obtained a situation for him as
pianist at one of the theatoriums. at a
sahtrj' of 00 cents an hour. Jlawlej'
i. '
worked one dav and a half, when he
fell back into his old habit of begging
and- eating- "dope," and landed back
in the city jail. Tu Police court Judge
Diehl sentenced him to thirty days in
the chain gang.
Tho chain gang now numbers twenty
one and is steadily increasing, cold
weather adding to it. Policeman Har
ris says the pang set up a big howl
against working in the inclement
wenther of Saturday, and the "pil
lory" was in constant use to remove tho
aversion lo labor. The bleak wind
from the north sweeping down upon
the unprotected "pillory" helped hast
en the obstreperous back to broaking
rocks, the "copper" sa3s.
Frequently membors of the gang of
fer to shake, the dust of the city from
their feet, pennanontly if the guards
will allow them to go. Tho guards
readily would aroe to this if the
words of the prisoners could bo ac
cented. Tho gang is transforming tho rough
and impossible parts of the old road
into a good highway, thns offsetting
tho expense to the city in keeping them.
