I am always pleased when I have the opportunity of meeting with the Latter-day Saints in any of their gatherings.

I am free to confess that I am disappointed with the Yosemite valley. It seems only about one-half as grand as the American Fork canyon.

I am - and have always been - a Methodist.

I have no animosity against any living soul.

A Mormon knows that the promises of God are true, and He said that all will be tried; realizing these things the Latter-day Saints will acknowledge their Maker not only in blessings but also in tribulations.

Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, / Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; / Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, / Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
