The LECTC.E.-The court room was
crowded last evening by an attentive au-
!ience to listen to Rev. George 3. Allen
in his lecture on the "School Question"
and the "a Bible i'll the Public School"
The position taken by the reverend gen.
tleman covers about the same ground as
advanced by the order OF United Amer
leans, society that has lately sprung
into existence in the Eastern States,
whose main object is TO keep the Bible
from the schools. On the desk, in from.
Of the speaker, were a Bible and an
American flag, symbols Of Christianity
and patriotism. which, during the course
of his remarks, the lecturer fervently
cIasped to his bosom with an invocation
that each would always find the defense
now given to them by the American cit
liens. He regarded the public schools
as the property, Of all places of instruc-
ton, which should be free from sectarian
bias and prejudices; places that should
be unhampered and unprecedented by any
creed or religious .enets, and, as such,
demanded the exclusion OF the Bible
tharefrom AS TO our State, no cause Of
alarm CAN be felt or this question, as our
Constitution prohibits any sectarian
teaching. and the teaching from the
Protestant version of the Bible has been
held by the Courts to be sectarian.

Dan De guile has a sketch i'll the
Enterprise describing the .'peep-
stone," and giving Snowshoe Thomp-
son as authority that the Comstock
ledge was discovered by Mrs. Bowers
through its agency. The peep-stone
is very common in I tab and the ma
jority of the Mormons are firm be-
levers in its virtues. Several years
ago a popular superstition in the
Northern settlements of Utah was
that Brigham Young possessed r peep
stone through which he could look
into heaven, hell. or the future, as he
might incline. In Utah the peep
stone is a small, round, transparent.
stone, either picked up in the hills or
brought from the old country. They
are generally in the possession ofold
women, and their chief use is TO de-
Fermine whether an expected baby
viii be 4 boy or Sirl.-Reveiile.
1t is related OF Joe Smith, the foun-
der of Moraonism, that when he WAS
a boy he got possession of a trans
lucent stone shaped like a chiId's
foot, which his father found in q well,
near Palmyra, New York, and that he
made pretense OF being able to divine
things, peer into futurity
and discover places where treasures
were buried by looking through this
stone. So that the faithful among the
saints of Utah have the warrant

for their belief in the
virtues of the "peep-stone."
