Fairview is one of the oldest churches in
the Presbytery. 1t had the pastoral SER
vices of Rev. DIR. Sanderson, now at Eu-

Mickle, Dr. Ferdinand Jacobs, DIR. Ar

Theological Seminary, gained in the
school-room some of that experience
which has contributed to his success as a
professor and divine. :.

WesleY's Tact

The following anecdote of the founder ofMeth
odism has, we believe never been published. 1t
reaches us from a trustworthy source and it
illustrates in remarkable manner the mingled
tact and piety Of that eminent man.
Although Wesley, like the apostles, found
that his preaching did not greatly affect the
mighty or the noble still he numbered some
families OF good position among his followers.
1t was at the house Of one of these that the in
cident here recorded took place. Wesley had
been preaching and daughter of neighbor-
ing gentleman, a girl remarkable for her bean
tty, had been profoundly impressed by his ex
hoTtatons
After the sermon Wesley was invited to this
gentlemans house TO luncheon, and with him.
self one Of his preachers was entertained. This
preacher like many of the class at that time
was man Of plain manners, and not conscious
OF the restraints of good society. The fair Young
Methodist sat beside him at the table. and he
noticed that she wore number Of rinpa Dur
ing pause in the meal the preacher took hold
OF the young lady's hand, and raising it in the
air, called Wesleys attention TO the sparkling
jewels. What do you think of this, sir he
said, for a Methodist hand2"
The girl turned crimson For Wesley with
his known and expressed aversion 10 fnerv
the question was peculiarly awkward one
But the aged evangelist showed a tact which a
Chesterfield might have envied. He looked up
with quiet, benevolent smile, and simply said
" The hand is very beautiful"
The blushing beauty had expected something
far different from reproof wrapped up with
such felicity in a compliment She had the
good sense to say nothing but when. a few
hours later she again appeared in Wesley
presence, the beautiful hand was stripred Of
every ornament except those which nature had

The Bible is Enough.

The erich man" who spent his life in
the pleasures of the world and forgot
God, and neglected his soul, has an
awful record made of him: In He'll he
lifted up his eyes being IN tornaent8" And
there are multitudes now that shut their
eyes upon the most solemn warnings of
the Bible. God leaves them in their will
full blindness, and they find that He'll
IS the truth seen too late"
But he had five brethren left behind
in this world, and he wanted poor Laza-
rus, whom in his distress he had so neg
lected, sent from heaven to warn them.
No, that would do no good, for they had
Moses and the prophets, and if they
would not hear them, they would not be
persuaded even by one rising from the
dead. Is not this exactly true in its ap-
plication now?
l. The Devil has often seen miracles
performed, but he remains the Devil still.
2. Saul did not repent when Samuel
came to him from the dead with solemn
warning
3. Lazarus was raised from the dead
in the presence of many of the Jews, and
thousands saw him after he came out Of
his grave. But how did many of them
act? Instead of believing in Jesus they
Immediately took counsel to murder him.
(John Xxx: 12).
4. The Lord Jesus was raised from the
dead, but many of those who knew this
fact became only the more hardened in
sin and unbelief.
5. If any one should arise from the
dead and come to us, what more could
he tell than what we already know from
the Scriptures?
6. Men and women who deal in Esprit
raPP1mg$ profess that they have COM
munications with people who have gone
into the unseen world. But it does them
no good; it only leads thousands into
open infdeity and blasphemy. And
we see where all this miserable delusion
comes from. 1t was first proposed IN
hell, but was condemned IN heauen. "If
they hear not Moses and the prophets
neither will they be persuaded though
one arose from the dead" No. it is not
more light men need but moo sincerity,
not new revelation, but new heart
Blessed be God We have not only
Moses and the prophets, but the New
Testament also. What treasure! When
Christians reach heaven will they not
love to think of the texts in the Bible
that started them on the way, and
strengthened and comforted them through
the journey? Some will speak of one
part, some of another but all will bless
the Esprit of all grace" that opened
their hearts to receive the truth in the
love of it..
We shall not need the Bible in heaven,
because we shall be with Him who
made it, But surely it will not be for
gotten book.
Neither will it be forgotten in hell.
Many in that world of despair will think
IN anguish how they sighted it, and
when it is too late will hear those words
OF fearful import which reached the ears
OF the rich man who made not God his
trust =" Son, renaem5er." B.

that the British seem to have made

The very fact that he did assume

and ought To convince even his
seml-barbarie followers that he is a
most unsafe leader. Patriots do
not invite the destruction of their
country, nor voluntarily fight when
victory is impossible and defeat
means death to all hope of liberty
When General Wolseley shall have
completed the little job he has on

under British rule as Cyprus and
not less so than several Of her

Khedive will remain the nominal

THE COMMISSION.

The Utah commission will prof. a.
bly, reach the city tonight, and
doubtless early take steps for put
ting the Edmunds act into opera
ton. The gentlemen, we undertake
TO assert, will find the most quiet
and orderly community they have
seen since leaving their homes, and
wherever they may travel within
the FIVE hundred miles of facms,
towns, vii ages and cities of Utah.
they will find tie same good order,
industry, thrift and evidence Of
prosperity. only in higher degree.
Salt Lake is the Gotham Of tie ter
ritOry, where all the hut bulb is ere
a.ed and the noise made; the head
quarters OF all the "wickedness" of
which w hear so much, and tie
home * ali those terrible lab, NINA
tons" 1t is hoped the COMMISSION
els will not suffer from EN- vi, but
they will certainly sometimes ask
themselves if Utah really IS the
wicked region that she is painted; f
all this show Of industry, sobnety,
honesty and peacefulness is put
on" TO deceive; if all are
cOnspiring under mask OF
virtue to delude a world; if
all are keeping up the deception
during their lives, dying without
revealing their true characters. If
the commissioners are like other
men, they will sometimes wonder
why restrictive laws should be
made for these people, who seem to
have so little need for any laws ex-
cept those of nature, which send
the rain, make water run down hill,
and cause corn and fruit and cattle
and swine and fowl to grow to serve
and feed man.
But the commissioners are not
responsible for the Objectionable
statute which they come to put into
force. 1t is very unpleasant, and
must be an unsatisfactory duty that
has been assigned to these distin-
guished gentlemen. That they will
perform their labors with the view |
to the least harm, with the aim to |
disturb as little as possible the |
peaceful and prosperous condition
Of things, we are confident. Hence,
they will be welcomed as friends !
rather than received as enemies.

JUDGE Lynch.

The governor Of Louisiana has
done that which the executives of
many of the American states and
territories could pattern after with
credit to themselves and honor to
their respective communities. Gov
eTnOr McEnery has offered a reward
of $4,000 for information that will
lead to the conviction Of a mob
that some time ago lynehed two
men. There are occasions when it
is nc 7essary for society to hastily
form itself into a court of justice
and assuming the functions of
judge, jury and executioner, pro-
coed to punish offenders in sum-
mary manner. Such occasions are
rare, however, and must decrease in
number every year as society on the
frontier becomes organized and the
laws, methods and influences Of
civilization extend themselves over
the land. People who have resided
any considerable length of time in
the western territories can probably
all recall instances where the au-
thority of Judge Lynch was wisely
exercised, and his DEGREES the only
ones that could be executed. The
little mining camp was a world unto
itself. 1t was necessarily without
law for the protection of individuals
or the guarding Of property rights,
except such universal law as nature
has provided for man and beast and
bird, the law of might, by which
the stronger is protected and the
weaker suffers, Under these circum-
stances the only protection for the
many was in banding together
against the vicious. Wilful murder
could only be punished by Judge
Lynch, who also was the only
authority that could deal with the
rebber, and he who disregarded the
property rights of his fellows.
Times have changed, however.
With the settlement of the country
laws and means have been provided
for the punishment of the wicked
and the protection of the innocent.
There are few spots in the broad
domain of the United States where
lynching can be justified. Yet
scarcely a week passes in which the
wires do not bring news of lynch
ings, and of mObs in search of
criminals, these items usually
closing with the significant as
sertion: "If found they will IN
dOubtedly be lynched." These dis
patches do not come from the
frontier, but from the old-settled
states Of Kentucky, Missouri, Iii
nois and those of the south, with
low and then one from New York.
Pennsylvania and ever pious New
England. A lynehing bee is a rare
occurrence west Of the Rocky
Mountains, whereas it is a frequent
circumstance east of the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers, where if
there be lawlessness there is sup
posed to be law, with the machinery
for enforcing it.
Punishment by an excited mob
is seldom if ever exact in its appli-
cation, and in too many instances It
is altogether astrsy. For instance,
in Illinois the other night three
young men were battered by iynchs
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1882-08-18

ers and several times suspended by
the neck in the hope or forcing
from them a confession that they
were guilty of most heinous
crime. The boys. standing on the
verre of an awful eternity,
with only a few moments-as
they believed-between them and
their God declared their
innocence. The mob was not salts
fed and would certainly have
"strung up" the accused in earnest,
had it not been for the inIercessions
of one who had most cause to desire
their punishment had he been posi-
tive of their guilt. The conduct of
the young men under the desperate
circumstances must have convinced
cool-headed men at least that there
is good cause to believe them inno-
cent. Besides being inexact in its
application, mob punishment loses
the effects Of the moral example,
which is the real basis for the in
Fiction of punishment by society.
The laws are not founded upon re-
yenge, but that is the sole incentive
to the mob. If revenge were the
object aimed at, the punishments
provided and the methods of apply
ing them would be entirely different
from what they are.
The frequency of lynchings de-
mands the correction of the evil,
which is growing more dangerous
than the violations Of law by those
recognized as the criminal classes.
To check this tendency to popular
lawleSsness some examples must be
made of the mobs who assume the
authority 20 regulate matters in
such summary manner. Murder
ers must be treated as murderers
whether they are a mob composed
of the best citizens or the bloody
wretch who deliberately splits the
head of his victim with an ak.
Governor McEnery's course in seek
ing the conviction of a Louisiana
mob is to be commended, and il is
to be hoped he will be successful.
At the same time the lynching evil
may be checked by the more prompt |
and faithful execution of the GRIM
nal laws. Society sometimes feels |
Itself outraged, as it sees Justice
defeated through lax administration
If the statutes, corruption on the
bench or IN the jury box, or wilful
on the part of executive
ulcers. If the laws were more
executed, we are certain
here would be fewer lynching bees.
But it is better that ten times the
criminals who now escape punish
nent should go free, than that So
iety itself should become criminal.
Iisregarding its own statutes, and
citing examples of defiance to its
avs, its courts and it's methods Of
Justice.
