ike spoiled children. That they have
any covenant obligations 10 serve the
Lord. whether others do or not, never
has entered into their heads, much
less their hearts. Perhaps you find
out that they have been i'll for few
days or weeks, and neither the pastor
nor any of the members have called to
inquire how they were. OF course they
never sent word to the pastor thai they
were i'll and would like to see him, nor
did any one else have word of that fact
but the doctor; nevertheless, they qui-
city assumed that it is the pastors bus
mess to know when people arc sick,
and 80 and pet them awhile. The
truth is, they are cossets, and can only
live by being petted and, so to. speak,
''raised by handp Then they have
discovered that the pastor has visited
some family oftener than he has visited
them. 1t is not that they want any
spiritual help, but only they don't want
the pastor to pay more attention to
somebody else than he does to them.
They are cossets, and nothing more.
Year in and year out they are no help to
the pastor and of no use to the church
They are but a burden, n vexation, o
clog and a hinderance, taking up the
pastors time by their unreasonable
complaints and faulttinding to no pur-
pose. 1t Isl a question whether they are
Christians at all The probability is
that they are only sentimentalists and
selfish lovers of themselves, looking out
for aplace or a church in which they
may be made much Of. May the Lord
convert them!-,M Y Independent

others, and bad time results; If one organ
or set of organs works imperlectly, per-
version of functional effort of all the Or
gans is sure to follow. Hence it is that the

-Disnfectants are often used to great
advantage in communities threatened
with epdemics, but it is great mistake
TO rely upon them to the exclusion of
individual measures having 4 far
greater importance. Humboldt said
that persons whose bodies are strength
ened by wholesome habit in respect of
food, clothing, cleanliness, exercise
and fresh air are enabled to resist the
cause which brings about disease in
other men. But then it is so much
easier to rely upon the germ eide
poisons of the Board of Health than to
adopt sensible habits. Chicago Trib-

EXCLUDE THE PUBLIC.

The decision of Judge Zane this morn
ing in the Vandercook habeas corpus case
makes it certain that there will be a num-
ber of trials under Section 1896 of the
Compiled Laws of Utah, and we trust
that any and every Justice of the Peace
before whom cases under this section
may come will close the doors of their
court-rooms against the public. We be-
lieve there is ample power in the Justices
to do this, and for the sake of decency and
in the interests of morality they should
use this power as we have indicated.
People who attend such trials, if
they have no legitimate business there,
attend them for the purpose of indulging
depraved and vicious tastes, and for no
other purpose. The details of such trials
are disgusting in the extreme, and the
only proper interest the public can have
in them is that those who are guilty shall
be convicted and punished. Already the
air of our city and Territory is polluted
with most unclean ideas, and it is almost
an impossibility to pass along the streets
without hearing discussions of things
that should be excluded from all decent
conversation. The minds OF the youth, of
both sexes, OF the Territory are familiar
lied with the unclean things of the
world, and who can estimate the evil
that naturally and necessarily results
from this..great..and gross familirity with
things of which it is highly desirable that
the young and the old, but the young
especially, should be unacquainted?
This state of things should be deplored
by all, and when it is within the power of
a public magistrate to curtail the spread
of such things, it is as much his duty to
curtail such spread as it is to enforce the
laws enacted for the benefit of society.
Let the public be excluded, and let the
press expunge all details of these trials
from their columns. The prisoner is en-
titled to a public trial, but the public are
not entitled to be present at obscene
trials
