of Sunday schools as he witnessed be-
fore him. The workers in the Sunday
schools number about $1,000. He
hoped that with little exertiton they

Elder John Morgan announced that
the Sunday school moral class will be
continued in the future and that steps
will be taken to improve the courses
Of study. He suggested that Sunday
school superintendent should exercise
great care in the selection of litera-
lures and songs to be used by the
children; also that secretaries should
exercise care in making out reports.
Elder George @. Cannon extended in
the name of the Sunday school union
thanks to the ushers who managed to
keep such good order in the meeting;
also to Professor Stephens in conduct
ing the choir. He was pleased to note
the advanced methods that are being
adopted in the normal Sunday school
course He hoped that such advan-

are necessarily irksome, but in the case

Unitarian.

A large audience at the theatre list
ened to Rev. Mr. Utter's sermon upon
prayer, synopsis of which is here
given. Some person had written to Mr..
Utter giving what purported to be a
number of criticisms made by evangel-
ical Christians upon the prayers that
are part of the Sunday service at the
theatre, and the something of a reply
to these criticisms. The first charge
was that Mr.. Utter breaches one thing
and prays another. He seems to be en-
gineering his way through the prayer
with difficulty trying to avoid the say
ing of something inconsistent with his
preaching"
Il deny" said the speaker ANY con-
sciousness of such difficulty. If 1 hes
itate it is for lack of words to express
properly the emotions that l try to ex-
press as fully as possible. At such
times L have no thought of consistency.
no care or regard for anything that l
or anyone else had said before. 1 am
sorry if anyone has so interpreted my
prayers, but the supposed difficulty and
engineering do not exist. Why do 1
make a prayer? Why should 1 not
pray? l am a Christian, and if my
views of my religion do not coincide
with those of others, they are sincerely
held, and in my estimation not incon-
SlSleiIl With prayers. Inc difficulty
with my critics seems to be in my be-
lief in the universal reign of law, while
to them prayer seems to imply eXpecta-
ton of miraculous interference. In the
| universal order I do believe, and 1 do
not believe in miracle. 1 do not pray
for rain, nor for fair weather, nor for
the restoration to health of the sick,
nor for anything that involves change
in the physical universe. But it may
| be said that in the spiritual world law
| also prevails, and that to pray for spir-
! itual blessings involves the expectation
OF miracle. To me it seems that prayer,
rightly understood. is the natural
means of obtaining such blessings. To
pray for strength, deMverance from
| temptation, for courage or patience, is
| the direct and true way of reaching
the blessings sought. True prayer is
| not the use of forms of words, it is de-
votion; it is giving ones self wholly
to the wish to be in harmony with the
will Of God. The form of prayer, the
words used to express this sense of de-
votion, may often be inadequate The
! language of emotion is seldom logical
and accurate is often inconsistent with
reason, often even contrary to the very
wish one is trying to express. The best
| prayers are not those that beg they
are those that express pure aspiration,
| Thanksgiving and devotion, and that
ask nothing. The subject of the sermon
next Sunday will be: rs the Resur-
rection of Jesus the Corner Stone of
| Christianity"

AMONG THE MINES.
An Extremely Quiet Week at Park
City.


The past week has been one of the
quietest weeks the Park has known
for years, and but little of note has
transpired in the camp. From the re-
cord the following mining notes are
cleaned:
The Marsac refinery received another
car load of sulphuric acid this week.
The latest quotations for Ontario
stock is 50; DAILY $3.50; and Anchor
George Stafford expects to have his
concentrating plant ready for work
Monday morning.
All the stopers at the DAILY mine
were laid off yesterday until Monday.
Repairs necessary in the shaft is the
cause.
The road to the Ontario mine has
been shovele6 out and coal hauling
will be commenced about the first of
the week as the coal bins at the mine
are getting pretty low.
A number of our home prospectors
expect to go to Mercur in the near fu-
ture They have concluded that there
is very little hope for silver during the
coming season and that while they
may not be able to better themselves
much by their trip they can at least
do no worse than they would by stay
ing at home waiting for something to
turn up.
The force at the Anchor mine was
laid off this week on account of the
bad roads and the ore houses being
full of ore. The lay off will be re-
sumed as usual. The concentration will
be kept running right along as there
is ore enough in the bins to last until
the roads are in shape for hauling to
be resumed. The company is making
considerable improvements about their
assay office, in fact remoGelling the
whole concern and getting it in first
class shape.

Superintendent George Goddard said
the Sunday schools of Zion represented
about one-third of the Latter-day
Saints in all the world. The speaker
explained the object of the Sunday
school work. The Sunday school in
and religious training of the young. A
new feature has been introduced in the
schools in having the whole school

Sunday school ranks. In conclusion,
the speaker desired the blessing of
God to rest upon the congregation
Elder George Reynolds read from a
circular recently prepared by the Sun-
day school authorities that in view of
the rapid growth of the Sunday school
organizations, it has been decided TO
hold annual stake Sunday school con-
ferences, also that provisions be made
for conducting normal Sunday school
courses similar to those given in the
Brigham Young academy at Provo
The dates for the various Sunday
school conferences will be published
later and representatives will be ap-
pointed to attend these.
The choir sang:
Jesus Once of Humble Birth"
Elder George Brimhall said there
have been two normal training classes
during the academic year of 1884.
These brethren and sisters have shown
great zeal in this work The tuition
has been furnished free but it was
found that a number had to leave
through lack of funds to maintain
themselves during the course. The
| speaker explained the nature of this
tuition and the privileges of the stu
dents. He testified that it was a privi-
! lege to be the Instructor of these.
Elder L. NJ. Lyman said that the
Sunday school institution of the Lat
rer-day Saints is a very important one
He believed that the Sunday
school teach has better opportunities
| in enjoying the holy spirit than are
afforded to elders and other laborers
| in tibet tchturcn. He hoped that the
officers engaged in this cause shall not
weary in their labors. He prayed that
a deeper interest may be awakened In
the Sunday schools which he consid.
cred comprised the nursery of all the
other institutions of Zion.

cratic corporation, which had no object
but to squeeze out of the poorer classes
all it could.
In time a party grew UP around Till
man which was called after him. In
1890 he was nominated for governor
against the regular Democratic candi-
date, Judge Alexander c. Haskell, of
Columbia
Then Tillman began campaign
which made him famous. He addressed
enormous mass-meetings, and said
things which attracted comment all
over the United States. Here are some
of them:
Il deny that all men are created
equal"
Il, as governor, would head a party
to lynch niger that would assault a
white woman"
L would rather go to hell with my
followers than to heaven with the other
crowd
Il am one of God Almighty's gentle
men,
81 am rough and uncouth but be-
fore God Almighty 1 am honest"
His second campaign was as pictur-
esque as his first He never hesitated
to use decidedly profane language. In
speech at Aiken some one in the
audience called for Sheppard, his OPP
ponent. Governor Tillman stopped a
moment and then, shaking his finger,
said:
eff it does you any good to yell Shep-
pard's name like cur dog, why bark
on
He has an especial prejudice against
lawyers, who, he asserts, can ruin any
country In one of his speeches he
said:
81 wish the whole ticket were law
yers. 1 can whip a whole cow-pen full
of them
Orr who was on the opposition ticket:
He is like a big piece of mutton, and
L want to claw him some
OF D. S. Henderson he said:

OF another political opponent, named
Murphy, he said:
IF he does not have a grassy row tc
hoe between here and Greenville, I'm

He did not always spare his owr
followers, either. for on several occa.
sions he referred to them as sack
asses''
Six well known citizens of Marion
signed paper on July Is, 1890, certi
flying that Governor Tillman haC
spoken of the citizens of Camden as
l ''the blacklist rottiest set of - thar
