"A day Of abstinence from fast living, fast

lowing was the bill offarc in Massachusetts, In ye

sermon last Sabbath. Felix bess leave to differ
and suggests to the pason that his assertion is
throwing too great responsibility on Divine
power. We are pretty much as We make our
selves, while the idea that the Almighty ever
made the female sex in the shape in which they
move, Is erroneous :. The City Council Of
Saco has resolved to charge Biddeford with the

Can Benjamin Wade become President in
case Of Johnson's removal! This question Is
raised by Washington correspondents and few
other individuals who seem to be laboring under
an abnormal cerebral excitement. The consti-
tuition says, article second. section sixth, that
Congress may provide By law for the case GO, o.
removal, death, resignation or inability Of both
President and Vice-President, declaring what
officer shall then net rs President" In pursu-
nncc of this clause of tho constitution, Congress
passed an act In 1874 indicating the citccr VINO
In turn would become eligible to the Presidency
in cases of vacancy. Among these Is the Pres
ident pro ten. Of the Senate, and MIR: wade Is
now accordingly the heir apparent. Yet 1t is

Hebcr c. kimball, whose death at Salt
Lake on June % is announced was born in
lS0l, and at his death had therefore reached
the age of sixty-seven years. He was con.
verted to Mormonism in 1882, at Kirkland,
Ohio, where Sidney RigdOn and Joe Smith,
the originators OF Mormonism, with a few
followers, afterward, in 1886, erected TEN.
pie. Mormonism was then in its infancy,
and did not organize IA church until the
year following. He embraced Mormonism
in the same year with Brigham Young, and
we believe, few months earlier. Smith
and Rigdon started a mill and store at Kirt
land, and organized, without a charter, a
bank, of which smith was President and
Rlgdon Cashier. The bank failed, and
Smith and Rigdon were tarred and feath-
cred. In all these troubles, as well as in
their subsequent removal to Missouri and
return to Kirkland 80 make money! KIM
ball and Young scared. In 1885 he was or
dained one of the twelve apostles, and in
1887 was sent with 0rsOn Hyde from Kirt-
land, where the first Mormon temple was
Just completed as a missionary to England.
When the constitution of the Mormon
/ Church was perfected by the creation of
a first Presidency to preside over and gov
ern the whole church, it consisted of Brig.
ham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and
Daniel C. Wells. To this triumvirate the
twelve apostles, and the Melchisedec and
AarOnlC pFlehInOouj as We'll as the state
of Deseret,p or civil government OF
Mormondom, were all subject. Kimball
would at any time, therefore, have succeed
ed Brigham Young as head of the Church
in the event of the death of the latter. 1t
is not improbable that Kimball had retired
from life In order that Brigham Young, Jr.,
might take his place as the successor of the
Prophet Brigham was accustomed to speak
of Kimball as the model saint. His sane.
tity consisted of an inexhaustible servility
and sycophancy toward Brigham, and a
lecherous glOating over the polygamic fea.
ture of MormOnism. He was coarse, un.
educated, and disgusting as speaker, full
of low cunning, and unrelenting in his ven.
geance. His large, powerful form inclined
to corpulency, and he was in the habit of
DO lsting that he had more wives than Brig.
ham Young himself. Writers upon Nor.
monism do not, b JWever, sustain this state.
ment, one writer assigning him as few as
eighteen in 1857. His son recently returned
from England, whittier he had been sent as
missionary along with Brigham Young,
-Jr., and his nephew was several years ago
implicated in and arrested for one of the
secret DANTE murders charged upon the
Mormons. II is not safe to predict that the
Mormon Church will sustain any loss from
the death of Kimball; on the contrary II
has been for some time well known tina
Brigham Young, Jr., was In some way t
succeed the Prophet, and the death of Kim
ball, so far from being an affection in tn,
eyes OF Brigham must be a great con
venience. aEla Gu r
