Had never takes it since, and coald not, If he would, give the details. He denied ithere is anything in the endowment obligation about "ven geance." aud was surprised that such statements should have been made. as Joseph Smith formulated the obli gation and it had never been chang ed, and Smith would hardly call for vengeance tm ;aeeoMnst of tits death when still alive.
