We believe that men will be pun
ished for their OWE sins and not for
Adams transgrcssion.
We believe that through the atone
ment of Christ, all men may be saved
by obedience to the laws and ordin-
ances of the Gospel.
We believe that a man must be
Called of God, and ordained by the
Laying on of Hands of those who are
In authority, to entitle him to preach
the gospel, and Administer in the
Ordinances thereof.
We believe in the same kind of or
ganlzatlon that existed in the prim-
tive church, viz: Apostles, prophets.
pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc.
We believe that in the Bible is con-
tanned the word of God, so far as
1t is translated correctly. We believe
that the canon of Scripture is not full,
but that God, by His Spirit, will con-
tinue to reveal His word TO man until
the end of time.
We believe in the powers and gifts
OF the everlasting gospel, viz: the gift
of faith, discerning of spirits,
prophecy, revelation, healing, visions,
tongues, wisdom, charity, brotherly
love. etc.
We believe that marriage is ordaln-
ed of God; and that the law of God
provides for but one companion in
| wedlock, for either man or womaR.
except IN cases where the contract of
marriage is broken by death or trans
erosion.
We believe that the doctrines of a
| plurality of wives and community
of wives are heresies, and are opposed
| to the law Of God. the Book of Nor
| mon says: Wherefore, my brethren,
here me, and hearken to the word of
| the Lord. For there shall not any
man among you have save it be one
| wife. and cOncubines he shall have
| none, for /, the Lord God, delighteth
in the chastity of women. Aud
whoredoms are an abomiHation before
me, saith the Lord of hosts"
We believe that in all matters Of
controversy upon the duty of man
| toward God, and in reference to prep
aration and fitness for the world to
come, the word of God should be de-
cisive and the end of dispute; and that
| when God directs. man hould obey.
We believe that the religion of
Jesus Christ, as taught In the New
Testament Scriptures, will, if it's pre-
cepts are accepted and obeyed, make
men and women better in the domes-
| tic circle, and better citizens of town,
county and state, and consequently
better fitted for the change which
| coneth of death
| We believe that men should wor-
ship God in spirit and in TRUTH"
and that such worship does not re
quire violation of the constitutional
| law of the land
We claim the privilege of worship
ing Almighty God according to the
| dictates of our conscience, allow all
men the same privilege, let them wor-
ship how, where, or what they may.

HAPPY CHILDREN.
PHILADELPHIA RECORD.

They sent him round the circle fair,
To bow before the prettiest there;
I'm bound TO say the choice he made
A creditable taste displayed:
Although. can't say what it meant,
The little maid looked i'll content.
His task was then anew begun,
To kneel before the wittieSt one;
Once more the little maid sought he,
And bent him down upon his knee.
She turned her eyes upon the floor;
I think she thought the game bore.
He circled then, his sweet behest,
To kiss the one he loved the best,
For all she frowned for all she child,
He kissed that little maid, he did.
And then-though why can't decide
The little maid looked satisfied.

Renting Stoves.
Hartford Times.

A Litchfeld County correspondent
writing of manners and customs In
that section SO years ago, says that
common people didn't own stoves
then; they rented them of the rich for
25 cents a month. DR.. Catlin, OF
Litchfi ED, had quite number that
he rented. We well remember seeing
him staff around for miles to collect
stove rent. There were no clocks IN
schoolhouses; the teachers had noon
marks on the window sill; when the
sun struck the mark it was noon; if
cloudy, they guessed noon. There
were clocks in but few families in
those days"

At recent meeting of the statisti-

She stopped suddenly, but Esther
heard, and the next day message
found its way to that young man,
who answered in person.
He walked straight up to Esther's
chair when he came in.
II did not know you were Ill. he
said, and on, the sense of comfort, of
rest, that the invalid felt when she
heard his voice-when she looked into
his clear eyes. SIS it anything
serious? am sorry"
Esther smiled gently, but he grew
grave with a startled fear when he
saw the change in her.

troublesome, and should not mind it
so much, but Tessy frets over Ine."
Joseph looked for the first time at
Tessy, whe was sitting apart by a
window. She barely glanced up as
she spoke, but there was bright red
flush in her cheek. And Ter eyes
how soft and appealing they were as
they looked at him SO briefly. Per-
haps he had been unnecessarily harsh
with her; she was so young-iu Just a
slip of a girl, white flower unfold

Presently Tessy slipped from the
room.

Payne, nervously clasping and I'M
clasping her hands; II have but a
