A WORD TO MoTuERS.-Each mother
is Il historian. She writes not the history
of empires on of nations on paper, but she
writes her own history on the i.Hperish'
alb e mind of her child. That tablet and
tia, history viii remain indellble when
time shall he no more. That history each
mother shall meet again, and read with
eternal Joy or unutterable grief in the
coming ages Of eternity The thought
should weigh on the mind of every
mother, rendering her circumspect, pray
erlul, and faithful in her solemn work Of
training up her children for Helven and
immortality.
The minds of children are very suscep-
tible and easily impressed. A word. n
look, frown may engrave an impression
on the mind of child which no lapse Of
time can eff, or wash out. You walk
along the s, ashore when the tide is out,
and YOU form characters or write words

which neither the floods nor the storms of

Dec 10th: His Resurrection Mark l6I-s
The haste about the burial Of Jesus was

Friday, and lay in the tomb during Satur.

son of to-day begins with the first day of
the week, or our Lords day. We are
wont to speak of Jesus as lying in the
tomb three days, really the time was one
day and two nights. though the evening
of the first day formed part of the period,
and also few hours of the morning OF
the third day,
The holy day having been passed those
women who had so faithfally followed
Jesus during bis life came at their earliest
opportunity to his grave. They brought
with them the spices used in their day TO
embalm the dead The burial had been
so hurried that no time was given for
embalming. The day was just dawning
as with sad hearts they set out on their
loving ministry. Olthcir way thoy talked
of the difficulty in the way of reaching
the body of him they loved. They had
doubtless been near and had seen tho
heavy stone rolled against the mouth OF
the tomb. In their loving haste they had
not at first thought of this difficulty.
As they drew near the tomb they
remembered this barrier.and were troubled.
Thov had doubtless heard of the guard
which PLATE had furnished, but of this
tbey had thought little. They were true
IN tho impulses of woman's nature and
went with little calculation to the work
which .thcy felt ought to be done. Many
times woman's intuitons have pushed
them forward to works of love and deeds
of mercy evenethough they sometimes &c
forward blindly, and the results nave been
as happy as in this case
Coming nearer the tomb they discover
that the stone is already rolled away. Inc

of their loving mission is no obstacle alter

1t. The rolling of the stone from the
sepulcher foreshadowod the removal of
hindrances in thousands of cases where
the way was supposed to be hopelessly
hedged up. Finding the stone removed
they enter the grave, which was probably
situated within short recess, and on the
right of this recess they see an angel,
here spoken of as a young man clothed in
white. Matthew tells MS that the angels
came and rolled away the stone and sat
upon it. This would indicate that the
niche in which Jesus WAS buried was on
the left of the recess, and over against
the niche in which the body had lain they
saw this angel. Luke speaks of two
angels, one by the head and the other by
the foot of the tomb. The accounts pre-
sent only the natural variations which
always occur in the testimony of indepen-
dent witnesses, or in the statements of
those who write out such incidents some-
time after their occurrence.
The alarm of these women at tho SIGHT
of these angels is only the most natural.
1t was yet hardly day, and they fully
expected to find the place vacant, at least
they expected to find there only their
dead. Then, too, the appearance Of this
young man, clothed in the long white
garment, was supernatural. They saw in
him that which convinced them that he
was not Of earth. But their alarm was
soon relieved, for with human voice he
addressed them; and better, he spoke of
tho matter most interesting to them all.
He declared that he whom they saw cru
Gifted and buried is risen, and to remove
all doubt from their minds he invites them

tomb hardly knew what to think of the
things they had seen and heard, yet upon
the witness of their senses they went out
to declare what had been revealed to them.
Their message was almost without paral-

an idle tale, but it was the beginning of
a declaration which has filled earth with
hope and Heaven with triumphant joy.

TIE BRUTALITY OF PoLYGAMY There

who has pleasant address; who stands
high in the favor of the authorities of his
church; who talks well; who would, by
a man like Captain Goldman, be pointed
out to eastern people as living evidence
of the malice and falsehood which fills the
heart of decent people when they denounce
polygamy. BY his real wife that man
became the father of several children.

power by the second wife, the father drove
every child by his first wife away from

tend stock on the mountain side, and

of her place haunted the second wife until
the first wife died, and then the hate
which had been smouldering through tine
years burst into flame and she determined
that the presence of that woman's children
should be a reproach to her and her child

BIZ his former acts, having learned to
think of his children as he did of his
calves by different COWS, tunred his heart
against his first born and drove all the
children which the wife of his youth had
borne to him into the street at the bidding
of the woman, who, in that way, sought
for respite from the cries which her own
wounded womanhood had been assailing
her soul with for years. The foregoing is
no fancy sketch. The little girl who was
sent to the mountains alone, to herd stock
and to sleep alone in tent on the noun
tain side, is right here, and can be seen by
any one who is curious to investigate the
case. And yet this Infamous system,
which transforms man into brute and
woman into fiend, we are told is a
system which the god OF justice declares
to be necessary in order to save the souls
of forlorn women. 1t is this system which
George Q. Cannon counsels his people to
practice, even if in doing so it is necessary
to set all laws at defiance. Is it not about

killed their victims; they did not put their

Olc of our leading denominationul pa,
pers, commenting upon the terrible fall
into drunkenness of the patriarch Noah,
who "wthstooi every other attack OF men
and devils combined" calls attention to
the fact that domestic wine, lnlde by
himself" was the cause. The "druggeU
wines of commerce" had nothing to do
with it. In fact all the drunkenness, men
toned and reprobated in Scripture is the
result of domestic wine, pure, fermen'ed
grape Juice Moreover it is not the weak
outcasts of So iety whose degradation
from this cause is set as Il beacon against
the curse in the pages OF our life chart.
Noah, Lot, Solomon, priests, prophets and
children of God are among those who foil
under this powerful agent of destruction.
When wine drinking Christians ask for
the chapter and verse furbidding the use
of pure wine, let us rather point them TO
the whole tenor of Scrip:ural biography,
and remembering that "the drunkards OF

whatever may be his motives, he will not

not from mere prudence, not in the vain
hope in being rewarded in another world,
butfrom pure sense of duty, as a patriot
of the planet on which he dwells, then our
philosophy, which once appeared to him
so cold and chcorless, will become relig-
ion of the heart. and will elevate him to
the skies; tho virtues which were once for
him mere abstract terms will become
endowed with life, and will hover around
