ashes-on the contrary, the heat only
made its pages shine with purer light.
Many a human addition went off in the
smoke very quickly, but not line COM
ing from the pen of inspiration was in
jured in the least. So it has been with
Christianity. For 300 years it has had
the fierce fire of criticism blazing about
it, and to-day it is stronger, not in num-
bers only, but in spirit and in influence
on the world likewise than ever before.
Many human things have been burnt
away from it, but these losses have
been gains. 1t has been but the loss OF
the barnacles that impeded the. course
of the great ship. And so it will be with
Mormonism, if indeed it be from God.
1t has nothing to fear and much to gain
from the light of day and the fire OF
fair open criticism.
In conclusion, if the Latter-day Saints
dare not meet the test thus brought to
them, they will do well to ask them
selves, Why? If they maintain that
the test is not satisfactory then let them
suggest one which shall be more impair
tial and more satisfactory.

AS to our much berated" district

Quit driving and harrassing, and drain

vexatious prosecutions, and we will,
with Gods help, show you a school
system yet that will compare favorably
with any this broad land, or any other,
can boast; not simply by adopting all
that is really meFitorious in the Gentle
schools-whieh we haven't the least
objection to doing-but by mixing in
few ideas of our own which we have
reason to believe are better still. AS to
"sectarIan bias" in the district schools,
how is it Mr.. Cooley, that what you so
freely allege of schools where Mormon"

hands? AS to "sectarian bias"
say, in the district schools
and in the University, there is not
enough of it to convince some "Mor-
mon" parents that their children are
not made inidels by attending them.
This is an extreme view, but not en-
tirely without consistency Where
religion is not taught, infdelity is very
apt to teach itself. AS the absence of
light is darkness, so the absence of re
hgion is infidelity. Darkness comes
unlimited, whenever the light departs,
and the darkness of unbelief, which
dogs the retreating footsteps of religion,
is no exception. This is why some
Mormon" parents object to sending
their children to the University, or the
so-called Mormon" District schools;
not because infdelity is taught there,
but because religion is not. They pre-
fer schools such as the Brigham Young
Academy of Provo, the Brigham Young
College at Logan-the nuclei of our
coming system-where pure Christian
theology is taught from Mormon"
textbooks, and neither of which has
ever sent an infdel into So
ciety. God speed the day when there
will be more such schools in Utah for
they give promise, as no others have
done, by the fruits already borne, of
what will yet be recognized as the world
wide significance of thorough Chris
tan education. o. F. WHITNEY.

To the Editor of The HERALD:
So Murray has been presented with a
walking cane, has he? Well he will
have to walk one of these days. Nothing
more certain, and he won't be the only
F. o. 81. who will have that experience.
So the cane may come in very useful to
him yet, and he need not throw it away.
However, we won't fret much about
him, His worth to the community is
not extraordinary. But the community
would like to have sober Governor next
time, and one who has a reasonable,
knowledge of arithmetic. If he should
not be ''handsom," we could rest Hupon
the trite consolation that handsome is
as handsome does" We lived before
we had a handsome governor, and we
would try to worry out the remainder
of our existence without another of the
handsome variety if such did not hap
pen to come. 1t is wonderful what
privations we can endure when necess-
ity is laid upon US.

better. He knows that the rascals

the people South were promised
they should go. He knows too, OR
he is unfit to be the adviser OF
the President or a representative
of Southern people, that the course
persued by the administration
tends to disintegrate the white PEG
pie South, and he knows farther
that the day the whites split, the

July, and now our young corn and
cotton are suffering severely from
dry weather, We hear old farmers

within the last five days from drought
than they ever knew before for the

very little to Gen. Grant. All the

character that has ever figured III

A letter from Reyk javik, Iceland,

A letter from Reyk javik, Iceland
tn the New York San, writes OF the
elder down harvest as follows The
men who get the down leave home
eorlr in the morning, and visit the
places to which the elder duck res
sorts and each man hunts for the
nests. The nests are built IN ciefts
ofthe rock, sometimes near the sea
and slippery from the spray ana
sometimes very high up. where a
false step would be death to the UNI
fortunate man falling down on the
Jagged rocks below.
The down is p1dcked from the
breasts of the duck by the bird Itself
and is used to line the nest for the
comfort of the young ones. lac.
hunter robs the bird of all the lining
it has provided for the nest, putting
it in bag that he carries along Tor
the purpose, and then goes on an d
repeats the performance at some
other nest. Everything must be
done very quietly, for loud noise
friahtens the birds, and if frightened
away once, they will not build there
again. There is law enforced
that for bids the discharge Of fire
arms within hearing of the breeding
places, and stranger would prob>
lably be mobbed ifhe disobeyed it.
Two crops of down are gathered
The first crop is the best, for the
duck uses an abundance of hel
choicest down in making the lining Of
her first nest. A short time after ths
first is gathered the hunters go over
the same ground again and rob the
nests Of the second lining, which
consists of all the down the poor
bird could rob her self of for hel
young. This proceeding seems tt
: call out the last energies of the birds
for they then make new nest, ano
the drake lines it with his breast fea-
theirs. In this nest the young art
Matched. The hunters seldom dis
turb it, for the probabilities are tn at
the pair would go away and never
return.
After the down has been gathered
