Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 75: August 7, 1913 Another coterie of sectarian critics, like the famous traveler from Altruria, who found his guileless soul constantly in pain, because the Golden Rule appeals not to worldly cupidity, publish a wail of horror at the record of the juvenile court in a city overwhelmingly Because of this dreadful list, including truancy, malicious mischief, use of tobacco, violating city ordinances, trespassing on railroad cars, and several other offences common to youth, even in Christian communities, their trenchant editor runs amuck through half a column, reviling a senator, accusing a drug company of boose - vending, hinting at vague rumors of unprintable doings, which no one had attempted to print, and concludes thus The reason is that in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there is no saving power. The 'mormon' Church has not and cannot change. [shades of the grammarians The only hope for Utah is in the evan gelical churches, and these churches must declare the whole counsel of God, or sadly miss their chance. Well, good, kind, logical gentlemen, declare the whole counsel of God and do it now - it should take the whole time of all of you but do soft-pedal these railing accusations based on the folly of irresponsible children, and omit this hoodlum gossip about unprint table doings which are no monopoly of Mormons, else some of us will conclude that you know little enough of God and His counsels. If the evangelical churches are going to purge Utah of the vicious practices of truancy and trespassing on railroad cars, which so seriously discredit Mormon influences, it is a great mystery that juvenile delinquents are so numerous and so enterprising in communities blessed with the untrammeled influence of evan gelicalism. This situation reminds one curiously of the fable of the boastful traveler, who, on returning home, brought witnesses to attest a mighty jump once made by him in Rhodes. N 0 need for witnesses, said his neighbors. Pretend this is Rhodes, and jump again. The marvelous things to be accomplished by the missionaries of our ineffective sects, among the heathen and others, is always out of all proportion to anything they have ever done at home.
