Excerpt from The Eightieth Semi-Annual Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Held in the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City, Utah, October 3rd, 4th and 6th, 1909, With a Full Report of the Discourses There are things, in connection with this subject, that would not, perhaps, be proper to speak of here, before a large and mixed' congrega tion but I want to sound a note of warning to the Latter-day Saints. The time has come for them to look after their children. Every device possible to the understanding and ingenuity of cunning men, is being used for the purpose of diverting our children from the faith of the gospel and from the love of the truth. Every species of organiza tion is being formed, both in our midst and abroad, having for its object the express purpose of lead ing astray the children of the Lat ter-day Saints, because they can't reach their parents. This is their argument: We cannot convert the adult Mormon people, but we may, perhaps, convert their children, we may lead away their children, we do not hope to lead away the old people. They can't'do it, except it may be, now and then, a man or woman who never did know any thing particularly about the gospel. These, only, are they who can be led away from the truth, and our children can be led away from their parents and from the faith of the Gospel, only when they are in a con dition that they know not the truth for themselves, not having had a proper example before them to im press it upon their minds.
