have the gospel preached unto Them
Our missionaries have, clad in hum
bic garments and humility, brought
the gospel to the humble and lowly
and the poor. In consequence of this,
a people of humble origin have been
gathered cut. There seems to be a
peculiar providence in thus preparing
the way for the reception of the gos-
pei. Jesus came in a humble way.
He chose his disciples from among an
humble people. Not many of exalted
rank have received the truth, and
some Of the ncblest spirits that ever
| came to the earth, have received it
| from humble stations. The great
animating motive of this peo-
pie is to do good to their
fellow men, and the children
grow up with the desire to receive the
priesthood and go as missionaries to
take the gospel to the people of the
earth. The families rejoice when one
of their number are thought worthy
of this honor. This is the prevailing
spirit, one of the chief characteristics
among the people of these valleys.
We have a temple here that has cost
ovr So, 900 900 and others at Logan, st.
George and Manti The four have
cost at least $1O,00O.000. They have
been built by poor people, not to
adorn the cities but by the desire to
save mankind. to contribute to their
redemption by rearing places for the
performance of ordinances for the
salvation of the living, as well as of
the dead.
E'cer cannon said he had never
been dispassionately listened to in the
explanation of these motives, but his
hearers had said they were the grand
est ideas they had ever heard. Not
all have believed them, for there are
many truths that are believed grand.
that are, not received as true. Some
have gone so far as to give the names
of their dead, saying that if true they
wanted them to receive the benefit
and it could not hurt them if it was
not true. This doctrine is THE most
philosophical that has ever been
taught, for without it our conception
of God would be small, but they ex-
alt his character. 1T is a great thing
to realize his attributes. 1t is glori-
Gus thing for the Saints to realize and
worship him. The more we under
stand of him, the broader our ideas
become of him and the better are the
effects upon ourselves and our char
acters. AS a people we should en-
deavor to carry out his purposes in
giving all an opportunity to obtain
an exaltation. 1t takes time for men
to receive truth, but it will spread
and the day will come when
the mission performed by the Lat
ter-day Saints will appear in it's true
light, and we will receive ample pay
ment for the sufferings we have en-
dured. His power and knowledge are
infinite and he brings to pass his pur-
poses. We can only comprehend lit
tie of them but we should endeavor to
cultivate that spirit that it may grow
and increase with US.
The choir and congregation sang
the hymn:
Now let us rejoice in the day of
salvation,
No longer as strangers on earth need
we roam
Benediction was pronounced by FL
der Heber J. Grant.

ward to a resurrection The Saddu-
Gees, as a sect, excepted. The Jews
did not know much about a resur-
rection until after they had been 20
years in captivity at Babylon, whence
they, and later, Christianity, derived
most of its idea on future life. The
resurrection was nature myth. The
spring of the year was the originator
of it. All nature myths have been
transferred at some time or other to
human beings. Mr.. Hunter then
showed how little reliance could be
placed upon the gospel narratives. He
gave their historical and literary ORR
gin according to the latest develop
ments of the higher criticisms No
jury would convict on the evidence
given in the gospels of the resurrec-
ton. Unless the modern belief in i'm
mortality was founded on something
more substantial than could be found
in the accounts of the resurrection, 1t
certainly could not stand. Mr.. Hunter
found much more satisfactory evil
dence for continued existence in the
revelations of science. No truly wide
awake man at the close of the nine
teenth century could really believe in
the stories Of current Christian myth
ology. After showing that nobody
expected Jesus to rise again, and that
certain passages IN the goSpel mar
rations were interpretations, ne said
that the true lesson of Gne resurrec-
ton was ITO resurrect as little of it
as possible There is but little in ones
life that one could care to resurrect.
Let the true, the beautiful and the
good only be resurrected. And let
whatever is ignoble, mean and IN
worthy, perish to rise no more.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
Rev. David Utter introduced a bap-
tismal service, making of this time
honored custom a very beautiful and
rational thing. He dedicated the
children to the service of man in the
spirit of Jesus. They were children of
the all-father to whom their lives
should be devoted. The children bap-
tized were little Earl Forsyth Farms
worth and the still more diminutive
Mathew Madison Bradley. Every
body was pleased with the pretty and
ceremony.

separate submission of the equal suf-
frage clause to the people, it seems
clearly improper and grossly pre-.
sumptive on the part of those who de-
mand it, The statement that it is an
extraordinary movement, involving
vast possibilities, is largely true; but
suffrage is not without a precedent:
it Is not new and altogether expert

the natural philosophy of the ques-
ton, suffrage is eminently Just and
proper

resentatives of the people to frame
constitution for Utah, to recant and
denounce their pledges. or to dictate

GOspeI Meeting

Special gospel meetings are being
Aeld at the Central Christian church
Dy ]. A. L. Romig, general evangelist
for the United States and Canada of
the Christian church, assisted by
Prof. J. E. Halves. The latter gives a
special song service every evening for
thirty minutes. A special solo will
also be sung each evening. The one
given last night, and written by him
self, was entitled, THE Lost Ship"
Evangelist Romig delivered a, rous-
ing discourse last evening on Our
Written Record" The speaker took
ss his text the words OF Plate to the
Jews. as given in John, 18th chapter.
22d verse, What l have written I
have written" He showed how these
words apply to all mankind in the
record kept by the recording angel
and the certainty that all will some
day have to stand before the judg-
:nent bar of God and give an account
of the deeds done in the body. He
closed with a powerful exhortation to
his hearers to accept the helping hand
of the Redeemer to save them from
the just consequences of their evil
seeds and enable them to live the
lives of Christians before it is too
late.
Meetings will be continued at 8 pm,
each night this week. The subject for
this evening will be, THE Handwrit-
ing on the Wall"

First CONGREGATIONAL.

Rev. Clarence Brown delivered his
Easter sermon to an unusually large
congregation. at the First Congrega-
fional yesterday morning. The dis
course was especially fine, the
speakers narrative of the resurrection
of the Saviour being one of the finest
pieces of word painting of sacred his
5oricai narrative ever heard in this
city.
The Easter decorations were beautI-
full, the pretty chapel being a pleasant
sight TO look upon. Some of the floral
pieces were of more than ordinary in
terest and attracted much favorable
attention.
The usual Sunday night lecture was
dispensed with, a concert by the mem
bers of the Sunday school being sub
stituted. Next Sabbath the lectures
gill be resumed as usual,

Onertory Anthem-"He is Risen. +"
First Methodist.

The Easter services at the First
Methodist church yesterday morning
were perhaps the most interesting
ever held there, due largely to the
efforts of the orchestra. The church
was beautifully decorated with flow
ers and the congregation was very
large.
DR. Mabry took his text from Ro-
mans vi, 4; THAT like as Christ was
risen from the dead by The glory of
the father, even so we also should in
iiewness of life" He spoke first of
the resurrection of Christ and then
at considerable length in emphasizing
the necessity for new life.
The musical exercises were very
fine, the anthem by choir and orches-
ira and the Duet Love Divine" by
Airs. Plurnmer and Mr.. Harper being
especially so, while the orchestra num-
bers were given with fine effect.
In the evening the Sunday school
held Easter services. Brief addresses
were made by z. o. Lee and Hon. G..
T. Goodwin and there were also re-
sponsiYe readings, recitations and mu-
sic.

MAY RULE IN IRELAND.
1t. is Said That Aberdeen Will BE
Next Lord Lieutenant.

It is stated that Lord Aberdeen is to
leave Canada and his gubernatorial posi-
ton, and become lord lieutenant of Ire
land.
This last is indeed exciting news and
unprecedented The governor general of
Canada is appointed for five years. and
the Earl of Aberdeen has served but two.
Moreover, he cannot leave the country
from her majesty the Queen--not even
to cross the border and enter the United
States.
Thus, if Lord Aberdeen goes to Ireland.
is must be looked upon as recall for
some good reason and transfer to
other oTfice. 1t is said that Lord Hough-
ton. present lieutenant governor of Ire
land, is to enter the cabinet, and there
is no doubt that Lord Aberdeen would
be amazingly pleasing to the people as
his successor. The Aberdeens have been
land. Lady Aberdeen is openly proud
of having had the great O'Neills, kings
of ancient Hibernla, for her ancestors,
and as every one knows she is president pres
has probably done more to popularize
Irish work than has any other living be-
ing. Lord Aberdeen, too, is used to Ire
land and the Irish people.
In brief biography, Right Hon. John
Campbell Hamilton Gordon, seventh
earl, son of the Earl of Aberdeen, prime
educated at the university college, Ok
ford, where he graduated in 1871. He sue
ceeded to the title on the death OF his
brother in 1870. He entered the house
of lords, but in 1876, he disagreed with
some of the principal measures of his
party. In the debate on the Afghan war
he voted against the government Of
Lord Beasonsfeld.
In 1856, having by this time become
a member of the Liberal party, he was
appointed by Mr.. Gladstone lord lieu
tenant of Ireland, with the mission of
carrying out the home rule policy. In
this capacity he was immensely popular
in Ireland, and the scene in Dublin on
his leave taking" after the fall of the
Gladstone cabinet. is said to have been
such as has never been witnessed since
the days of O'Connell. Lord Aberdeen

ious societies. at whose meetings he fire.

Easter services at the Evangelical
Lutheran church yesterday were of
more than usual interest, owing to the
fact that in addition to the usual ex-
ercises, several combinations were
made Misses Anna Unger, Zubie
Reader and Lizzie Stearns were three
of the candidates.
The interior of the edifice was beauti-
fully decorated with lilies and other
appropriate flowers. Rev. W. J. SeateS

The music was an especial feature,
