THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1877—TEN PAGLN: Tho spesker was befora ihe Assembly to plead for the employment of women teachera I;Juh. Women alone could thoronghly reach the polygamous familles where the women groancd under a tetrible slavery,—more terrible because it came in the Rulse of religion, On_one occasion the apeaker was wsmc-fl»{ the Bishop that {f he valued his neck he should not preach in that town. He asked the Bishop and the Mayor to accompany him on to tho platform, Dut they refused. Floding himeell in danger, he went into the pulpit with the sword of the spirit in ono hand and a *swamp-angel ¥ {n the other, and, thus protectod, preached his sermon. Numbera of apostate hormnnu, although very poor, wers anxfously begging that the Gospel might be preached to them, and were willing ont of their small incomes to give at least onc-fourth of what they had for the support of the teachers, Hle warned the pcople not to belleve what fournalists sald about the honesty and integrity of Brigham Young, Therewns no such thing a8 Christianity In the Mormon Church, At_this point the Rey. Mr. Gardner rose and asked if the Assernbly had not listened to the brother out of courtesy ahout ns long as thcy could in view of the business {n hand, Ilo feared that if they went on In this way lhc{ would not get through in a month. He moved the ndnruon of the report 8o far as read. Mr, McMillanexplained that he was trying to speak to the report 8o far as it related to Utal. In reply to a delegate he sald that six persons bad peen added tho church in Mount Pleasant, Utah, all of them being formerly Mormons. TNR DRV, JAMRS M, RODERTS announced that he represented more sin and in- {quity and more fgnorance than any other dele- glle present. His field of labor was in New Mexico, among o people who were sunk in the most degraded fgnorance. The women ruled the country, and the priests ruled the women. ‘The Catholie Church was wiser than tho Presby- terlan, for tha rrlcnm knew how to govern'a Ktnnlu and to attach then to the Church. They ad seliools for wonen, and taught them out of n catechism which denounced everything which was Protestant. ‘The speaker could not proach these women, but his wife could. Only women could posalbly do the necessary work in that country. Ile had a school there where they taught the children, and although the pricsts didn't ltke it, they were so afrald of losing their hotd on the peoplo that they rald nothing about it. At this point the Moderator announced that it was time to take a rccess, and asked Mr. Roberts Lo suspend his remarks for the time being. Dr., McKinney, tho Rev, James Roberts, and tho Rev. J. W. Kerr were added to the Special Committeo on Temperance, and the meeting fiknl:-d with prayer by the Rev, Joscph 8. Bial- oc] Up‘on reassembling at 3:30 p. m., prayer was :flmd by tho Rev. Jomes Allison, of Pitts- o Rov. J. M. Roberts then resumed the stand, and continued to speak on_ the mission work In New Mexico. He deseribed tho habits and religlous customs of the natives of that country, and the manner of inflicting penances for eink, real or sunposcd, ‘These penances consisted’ of flagetlation, cross-bearing, and oven cruclfixion, Men had been solutely crucified in imitation of the death of Jesus, The misgulded devotees of o blind superetition trayeled miles over tha mopntaing on their hands and koces. Theso penances wers imposed during Lent, and, being Talthfully enrried out, wave thoworshiper o right to do just what he pleased durlug the remainder of the year. Naturally o inisslonary ran con- sidcrabie risk among such o people. The speaker then went ou to say what wo wanted in New Mexico, Firstly, tioy needed American missionarics, and they douot want people who would come ther intendlng to stay only six months ora year, for they could not Jearn tho language in that time. Thenext most pressing necessity was fetnalo teachers, and any amonnt of thess could find worle. Tie people were willing to provide a church, but tlicy nceded money to provide a bell, doors, anil windows, and other necessaries, The lpcn]&tl"l experienca was, that It was Leticr not to preaciy tvo much to the people,—~once ur twice a mouth beingsulllclent, Dr, Malin asked 08 & question of Information what was goingon. Ie thought that all this business was contalned in the report, and it so wly take up the tuno of tho Assembly. Mr. Roberts subsided, although the Moader- ator declared that ho did not want to sbut off cbate. The Rtev. Mr. VauDyko rald that the day was, by nrule of the Assembly, given up to n discusafon of the mission work.” [Applausc]. TUE WESTPIELD CABH. Tho Moderator stated that the Judicial Com- mitteo dealred to present a report, which secmed to them Important to be disposcd of ntonce. Na objection behig made, Dr, Iattleld submitted tho following: Judicial Cuse, No, 7: In tho case of the nppeal and complaint of the minority of the “'fl“}l’:ll ‘l,’lenbylnrlnn Chareh nguinst the Bynod of Now creey, tho Committeo recommend that the case Lo diswlssed and the pnpers bo returned to the complait nll:l the cause of action having already Been removed. Onmotion of Mr. W. B. Kecllog, the rej was accepted and ndopted. s REES Dr, er:fixl‘ moved that it be the eensoof tho Assembly—there belng many from the imis- . slon ticlds who desired to speak, aud whom the body desired to hear—that with the exception of the Becretary, speechos be Nimlted to ten winutes. ‘The motion was agreed to, DR. CYRUS DICKEON, TS OTHER BECRETAIY BIEAKS, Tho Rev. Dr. Dickson, the other Becrotary of the Board of Iome Misstons, was then accorded thefloor.
