is not happier for knowing anything about it.

An encouraging report comes from Utah
that 1t the recent Mormon conference, held
in Salt Lake City, there was decided opposi-
ton developed to the continuance of the prac-
tice of polygamy. A young elder named
CIanson spoke in favor of the plural mar
riages, but he was severely censured for his
speech, and openly denounced By the leading
men Of the church, who announce that they
have abandoned the doctrine. and are trying
to abide BY the provision Of the State Consti-
tuition adopted last year, which forbids ii.
Even the gentiles in Utah are beginning TO
believe that the Mormons are sincere in their
professions, and the fackzshat MILFORD Wood
FnH, IN behalf 0f~the twelve apostles, has
issued an epistle in which..ehe ignores the
subject, and exhorts the people of the
church to live pure lives, indicates
that the Edmunds law has proved too
str0hg for the church and that it purposes to
submit to the authorities. OF course it win
be well, in view Of the past violations of law
and dseency by the pOlygamists, tokeep an
eye on them and sea if they are not trying
the gocd-mule game; but it is hopeful sign
that they even make en- outward show Of OBJ
serving the law and openly avow their inten-
zion Of going back TO the early Mormon doc
trinss in which polygamy had no place.
That polygamy was an afterthOught is very

was first published in the Dessret News Extra,

Smith. at Nauvoo. on July II. 1s43. During
these years it is true the practice was secretly
INDUCED in, but the leaders did not dare to
openly announce it as a doctrine of the church
until it had by secret growth fastened itself
firmly enough to make possible the public pro-
elamation ef the alleged divine command by
Brigham Young. Since his death the gov
ernment has been actively engaged in fight

SOME DISCOVERIES OF MODERN SCIENCE.

SOME DISCOVERIES OF MODERN SCIENCE.
The discoveries of modern science are
never-failing source of wonder and theme of
discourse. They embrace every department
of modern life and labor and their mere
enumeration would be cyclopedia of scien-
tifc knowledge. We are apt to regard this
wonderful progress Of science as an unmixed
blessing, but is ito There is common phrase
which recognizes that there may be ''too much
of good thing" Is it not possible that we
may have too much scientific discovery-too
much knowledge concerning the secrets of
naturef The poets are somewhat at variance
on this point. Pope says:
"a little learning is dangerous thing;
Drink deep or taste not the PieriAn spring"
He evidently favored learning and the moro
the better. Il might occur to some that if
little learning is dangerous thing much
learning would be more so. But this was not
Pope's idea. He meant that little learning
misleading, and, therefore, dangerous
really worse than none at all. This is often
verified in real life. The person who knows
very little is generally much more dogmatie,
unreasonable and self-opinionated than he who
knows great deal Nothing is so intolerant
as ignorance. A man who does not know
enough to know how ignorant he is is apt to
have very exalted opinion of his own knowl-
edge. In this sense a little learning is a
dangerous thing to its possessor. as it is in
many ways to other people. But Gray takes
different view Of the case in his oft-quoted
lines:
Where ignorance is bliss
lis folly to be WISE"
Instead of eulogizing learning he enlogizes
ignorance. Scarcely any lines of cay poet are
more frequently quoted than these Of Gray's.
They are part of everybody's wisdom and
everybody's experience. Their universal use
proves their universal acceptance. Every
body knows there are times and circumstances
when they are eminently applicable. Put
in plain prose they mean that where human
beings are happier for not possessing certain
knowledge they had better remain in ignor-
ance than to lose their happiness by gaining
knowledge. Thousands Of instances might
be enumerated to verify the truth of this. To
come back to our text, the discoveries of mod
ern science, while adding enormously to mans
knowledge are not all of 4 character to add

for knowing that every drop of water |
he swallows is peopled with millions of |

other kinds of food makes him no happier and |
