THE Book of Mormon"


A statement recently published reads
as follows:
When the "Book of Mormon" was
published in 1880 there was published
with it a certificate of three men, after
wards known as the 'three witnesses"
who declared that tley saw the angel of
God come down with the golden book
which Joseph Smith interpreted. Sub
sequently all three of the men renowned
Mormonism and declared their testimo-
ny false. David F. Whitmer, one of the
three: is now living, in his 8Oth year, in
Missouri. He was brother in law of
Oliver Cowdery. who wrote copy Of
the book for Smith.
On this, Elder Joseph Smith, son of
the founder of Mormonism, writes to the
Chicago Times as follows:
please look over your file for 1865, I
think in December, and You will find
an interview of Times correspondent
with this David Whitmer, affirming his
testimony of 1880 most emphatically.
Mr.. E. L. Kelley, formerly of a Glen
| wood, Iowa, law firm, now of Kirkland,
Lake Co., O., received a letter from
the said Whitmer to the same effect, in
discussion ON the origin of the Book
of Mormon" with Rev. Clark Braden,
of the Disciple Church. In this letter
Mr.. Whitmer again affirmed his testi-
mony Of fifty years ago. Martin Harris
died at Salt Lake City, in fellowship
with Mormonism. Oliver Cowdery
died near Council Bluffs, H., maintain
ing the truth of his statement concern
ing the "Book of Mormon" What is
the necessity to continue to publish false
statements concerning these men ?"-

"Au Revoir."
From the Christian at Work.

FROM the Christian at Work.
"Why are you sad when speaking
those words? ?" he asks.
No answer. The vesper chimes of
the cathedral league away come steal
ing over the hills that lie to the vest
ward, and as their tones-sweet and
solemn and faint-fall upon Carolinv's
port ear, Jasper feels shudder pass
over her 1.-the form. She is intensely
religious, this girl, and with the sudden
instinct of o man who has played third
base, he resolves to turn this reverence
of hers for all things spiritual to &C.
count. Listen, he says, in WHISPERED
tones. ut is the vesper hour. The
chimes are calling the faithful to wor-
ship, and one who deliberately tells a
falsehood at this time can never be
saved. You know this, Caroline, do
you not?"
eyes," murmurs the girl.
"And would you perjure yourself?"
"No," the voice is faint and low.
"Then tell me, he says, "why you were
sad when saying 'Au revoir' to me lit
tie time ago."
II cannot" she says.
But You must" continues Jasper. II
demand an answer"
For an instant she looks up at him,
her pure young face as white as if the
hand of death were upon it, and then
she whispers softly: "lcannot."
"But why can you not tell me the
cause of your sadness when speaking
those words ?"
''Because," she says, looking at him
eenderly. Il do not know what they
mean"

TO Cure q Babe Of q Habit,

It is a fact that babies are not all
alike by any means, and some are much
more troublesome than others about
putting things into their mouths. An
inquiring mother asks how this may he
stopped. Au instance that came under
my observation may let light in upon
this subject. The baby at Fl fteen
months old had perfect mania for
putting everything into his mouth
chessmen, shoe-buttons, pennies, ETC.,
and his mother was alarmed at the
strength of the habit and set about
remedying it. She took little pepper
box into the nursery one day and
sprinkled a little black pepper over
the things the baby was most likely to
put into his mouth. He dropped them
one otter another, and she thought the
victory was complete; but the next day
he presented the spectacle of a burnt
child who does not dread the fire, but
after repeating the peppering for three
consecutive days the habit of q
lifetime was overcome to very great
extent.

given a mop and instructed to clean the
beautiful tile-laid floors. Next day he
rebelled at the work and was brought
before Sergeant-at-Arms Canady.
"What did You think you were taken on

theologian; "That's what swore to do
