..THE UTAH PRoBLEM.v


The Philadelphia Ledger of a recent
date gives, under the above heading,
particulars of a. meeting of the Wom-
ems Home Missionary Societies Of the
Presbyteries of Philadelphia, at which
an address was delivered by q Miss
Perley from Utah who, it appears, is
a missionary to this territory.
Utah is glad to have lady teachers
from other places, ~ matter what
may be their religious proclivities, if
they are efficient educators. The num-
Der employed here by local boards of
education and school trustees, outside
Of the denonlina tional schools. is evil
dence of this But whea they take
advantage of their position 10 1nisrep-
resent Utah and is people so grossly
as Miss Perley appears to have done,
judging by the report in the Ledger,
i does not increase the desire to en-
gage such persons as teachers of our
youth.
We give the rapport as it appears in
that paper without comment, as the
Misrepresentation it contains will be
obvious by their statement. 1t is as
flllows:
"She said the word sacrifice should
not be used with regard to any of the
workers We should praise the Lord
that He allows US TO be co-worh= rs
with Him. The people in Utah say
that Mormonism must prevail in the
United States. There is now more
danger than there used to be. In our
country there is a religion as degrading
as any we find on foreign shores. Nor
monism teaches that there is no sal
Walton for any woman unless she has
a husband. The Mormons sent out ,00O
missionaries last year, and we have
now to meet a new Mormonism. They
send out educated men. Some OF these
educated young men are at Ann Ar
Dor. The changes in Mormonism dur
ing the past ten years are merely sup
erticial and not real. A man is not al
lowed TO vote in Utah who belongs to
a church teaching polygamy. There is
a policy, however, in the Mormon
Church to evade that provision. 1t is
a sad feature that so many young men
who step out of the Mormon Church
step into infideiity The older women
were led in TO the relationships they
hold through Ignorance. God has put
the Utah problem into the hands of the
women of the Presbyterian Church. The
opinion has been expressed in Utah
that when Statehood is fully gained
poIygamy will come back again We
cannot do much longer anything for
India and China unless something is
done for our own land. If the mission
schools in Utah can be kept UP, then
the academies can be kept up.

When the New York Worlds war
correspondent sent that paper an ac-

which the Japanese massacred the

Keep up. brave heart. and faIter not. although
The road be hard and flowers grow not near.
IT'S easy walking when soft grass below
And Heavens blue above delight and cheer:
But in the grim, dark weather. on the stones
Which hurt US, then steady march along,
With head upheld, and smiles instead OF

Bearing lot; nay. helping midst the
throng
The feebler ones who faint beside the way
That Is life which leads to perfect day.

Expecting not that at our eager call
Within our grasp we untold bliss shall
find.
That bird Of Paradise. with shining eyes
And many.colored pluunage golden bright,
Which huttcrs DER US, and for our sad signs
Shows glorious visions bathed in seas Of
light:
But visions only, like the morning dew.
They vanish as we pass the long years
through
Yet there is much OF happiness on earth
Some days are gray, but many have the
sun
To gid their hours; gladness then and mtrth
Attend upon them. and our footsteps run
On messy turf meath shade of sheltering trees;
Peace in our souls and music In our ears.
Painless in body and mind at ease.
Quiet and fearing naught for future years,
With cheerful heart and looking for the best,
Let US then journey to the endless rest.

Kissing bullets from front and flank.
Only LETTERS forethought saves them
from attack IN rear. At last the horses,
snorting and plungirg, have reached
the ridge and are led safely over into
the swale beyond. At last the German
sergeant has conveyed his wounded
across the E~rrier, then turns for one
or two shots over the heads of his COM
rades now backing up the slope. 1t is
the instinct of battle, the impulse Of
the soldier-and the last of his soldier
~ life. Finger on trigger, muscular
hand grasping the brown carbine in
the act of aiming, down, face foremost
on the sward, poor Schultz has
tumbled, a Winchester bullet tearing
through his loyal heart.
Five minutes later, in a little amphi-
theater among the rocks, two hundred
yards to the west OF the ridge from
which the Indians first were sighted,
the well-nigh breathless detachment is
regathering, and the fight goes on.
Here, stretched on the ground, stone
dead now, lies the civilian---the stranger
found in company with Schultz and
Schramm-while sobbing over him
kneels his boy. Here, badly fright
ened, the wounded recruit had been
dropped and told to quit his noise.
