The act of repentance Is the undoing
OF mans regret. Repentance comes
after seeing the truth. You cannot feel
rightly unless you see rightly. 1t is as.
tonishing how much power is in the as
sertion OF the gospel. The sinners con-
version comes from what the mind sees.
If knowledge be wrong, emotion is use
less. The difference between cultiva.

trembled; and not being able longer to
contain, he broke out with a lament
able cry, saying, What shall / doY"
And while he was standing in his
| plight there came to him a man named
Evangelist and talked with him and
gave him a parchment roll wherein
was written the way of life from this
world to that which is to come. Then
the man took the roll and began to
read in 1t, and as he read the way
seemed plat before him and a voice
said, "This is the way, walk we in it."
Now, while he was still read ng
therein there came by man with
huge book under his arm. But the
man who was reading was so intent
upon what he was reading that he did
not see him. Then the visitor laid his
hand on the roll in the mans hand
and said, what readest thou?" And
the man said, 81 am reading a roll
which Evangelist gave me to show me
the way from the City of Destruction
TO the Celestial City. Fer you must
know unless I escape, I shall perish

man with the roll card whereon his
name was written and disappeared. And

And 1 saw, and behold, there came
another man to that place the man
was still reading the roll. And he
stopped and spake with him and asked
why he read so earnestly and why his

Would it not he we'll for the neXt

the better protection Of bank derosit-
ors? As the laws now stand there is
absolutely no protection to people do
ing business with banks, beyond the
officers say so. Every State in the
Union has laws looking out for the
public interest bat Nevada. and why
should this State be>left at the mercy
Of dishonest bank officers, if any
there be? There are nine or ten banks
doing business in this State besides
several private institutions doing a
banking business and the general
public has no protection whatever be-
yond the mere statement Of the bank
officials themselves, regarding their
standing. The people Of a common
wealth have as much right t. know
with whom they are doing business as
the banks, and the Gazette thinks that
the next Legislature should see to it
that some kind of Il law is passed
looking to the better protection of the
public. The commission could also
look after the various county treas
uries Of the State, and, save the work
and expense Of a Grand jury
