At the Tabernacle.

Elders Heber Iverson and Joseph E.
Taylor were the speakers at the after
noon services at the tabernacle yester-
day
Elder Iverson said that two years
ago he was sent on a mission to Ten
nessee; said they were received kindly
by the governor and were allowed TO
preach where they chose. The people
all through the state hocked to the
meetings they held, and many who
were strong Baptists and Methodists
embraced the Mormon faith.
He was asked time and time again
to interpret dreams, and often ad-
dressed meetings of other denomina-
tions. Many times they were cursed
and reviled, but the greatest rebuffs
and SANDER came from ministers OF
TIE gospel He said that the preachers
there said that the Mormon church
sent out their brightest men on mis-
sions. But that Is not what they do
they send out young men of every
vocation of life, who had no training
for missionary work Whatever, nut
went abroad, and knowing that the
shirt of the Lord was with them,
spoke of the true faith, and never
lacked for words. He was thankful
that he had been called upon to serve
God and hoped that what he had SoWn
would bring a bounteous harvest.
Elder Joseph e. Taylor said the re-
cital of Elder Iverson reminded him
of when he was a boy and was mis-
sionary of the true gospel. He had
been sent out when he was very young
among strangers, as had hundreds OF
others in the house, and it was ar
abiding testimony of the truth of the
church of Jesus Christ today that
young men without means, without ed,
ueation, and in no way prepared tc
take such a responsibility were able
TO go forth and accomplish SO much
When he was a young man it was
not a very hard task to get elders tc
go upon missions, but the changed con
ditions had brought about change III
this respect and in this stake today
they were casting about for young
men to go forth but were meeting
with very little success.

upon by their superiors they will re

greater the struggle, the greater the

All men agree that there is great
difference among men spiritually. This
as not from any hereditary cause, but
is due to the spiritual development
All men are endowed with spiritual
gifts. Without a continual exercise of
these faculties, however, they will be-
come dormant. The fact that one man
is good and the other bad is not be-
cause the Creator has left one destitute
Of possibilities and endowed the other
with an abundance of spiritual gifts,
but because the faculties are not
stirred UP, but allowed to slumber. In
the daily routine OF life this is forcibly
brought to our observation. One per
son may pursue an entirely different
vocation from that for which he is fit
ted. Still the faculty is there, but
often even undiscovered.
The spiritual faculty or life dies from
lack Of exercise, just the same as the
physical man. IT is in harmony with
the laws of nature and with the teach
ings of the great transcript from the
divine hand that the soul cannot de-
velop without spiritual exercise. There
fore. to prevent this a strict obserV-
ance to the teachings Of that book is
imperative.
To develop the spiritual faculties it
is not sufficient to go to church once
or twice on Sunday and be filled and
taken up with worldliness the balance
of the week 1t is not good spiritual
development or sufficient to grant the
soul q mere plttance one day out OF the
week and then neglect it six days.
Sunday newspapers are not either
usually good nourishment for the Spir-
itual life. nor are novels and similar
kinds of reading. There must he a
hi
that tends to deb3Se the better in
Stincts of man. The spiritual fia'bby-
souled Christian who goes to church
once on Sunday and complains that a
second sermon would make him too
tired for Mondays work, is hardly
giving proper exercise to the spiritual
part of his existence. For just such a
person the superfiuous flesh should be
walked off between his house and the
church. Many a person imagines that
giving the last dollar to the missions,
a smiling face in the Sunday school.
taking part in the singing and assisting
the pastor, is proper. So it is, but if
there is nothing else the soul is very
apt to grow fabby and the great con-
test against sin and eternal damnatiOn
lost. If religion is worth anything, it
is worth everything. Why does God
want new heart? Because the old
heart is impure. Why hold ordinances?
Because God so commands it. Why
attend church regularly? Because it
| teaches us obedience to Gods word
! and because there we can find condi-
lions more favorable for the nourish-
ment of the soul.
In closing. DR.. Bean made an elo-
quent appeal for all hayward to come
to the foot of the cross The greatest
mistake in the world for a man or wo-
man is to rely on deathbed repentance.
| Nothing more certain than a right
eous life, and nothing more uncertain
! than to neglect the soul until the Mas
ter calls to garner the sheaYes.

Homo Forum Reneat order.

This, one of the most popular ben
eft insurance orders of the city as
evidenced by a membership of over 200
since last fall, held it's weekly session
on Thursday evening with crowded
house, the ceremony of initiation being
performed in the usual impressive
manner. Such numbers attend the
meetings as to render a larger hall an
Imperative necessity, and a COMMITTEES
is now out for the purpose of securing
one, having serious designs on
the tabernacle or some building large
enough to accommodate their ever
growing family. Applications for
membership are on the increase.

The odd Fellows.

The order of Odd Fellows is vending
fraternal and never-ceasing spirit of
good will to all mankind, the result of
which is patent to all who have
watched the society'S career and the
constant increase to it's membership
so truly attests. With all their good
works they have their amusements
their discussions, their elections and
the ills to which all humanity is liable
But with each and everyone of the
brotherhood, the life is worth the liV-
ing. for the experiences of one portion
become the examples to the other. In
Odd Fellowship there is mystic pow
er that binds men of all countries to-
gether, that cements men and women
of all religious beliefs all political
parties, and OF every strata Of social
life into one common brotherhood, and
the question most often asked is
'eWhat is that power?" 1t is simply
"brotherly love- in everything that
that short phrase implies.
The Sisters of the Rebekah branch
of Odd Fellowship are rapidly placing
themselves in the front ranks Of the
order. and their works are now sub
tect to the criticism of the public eye.
The effect of the active work of the
women is apparent in almost every
branch of the order. and in committee
work, Cfor with few exceptions posi-
tions on the committees are accorded
the sisters their influence is felt and
recognized Woman's quick perception
and her general good judgment rarely
fail to be correct, and woe he to those
who fail to walk the prescribed line of
duty.
1t is. from the influence of all of the
above that Odd Fellowship is SO DOW
erful in swaving for the good of hu-
mainly its immense armies of men
and women, and while they gather to
the fold some black sheep with the
white. it is but a matter of time when
the good are sifted from the bad, or
the latter by utilization and example
are taught to fight the great battle of
life and render themselves worthy Of
/ association with the best of the race.

discourse at tt First Methodist church
yesterday morning. The text was
taken from the closing words of II

OF a perfect Christian character. The

At ST. PauI's.

THE Story of Armenia and ehe
Turks was told by Rev. L. B. Ridgely
at st. Paurs church last night A
graphic story it was, too, and though
plainly told, needed no establishment
to make it effective. A recital of the
facts is sufficient for that.
Mr. Ridgely began by describing
briefly the land and the people, and
outlining their history, telling of their
faults, as well as their virtues Their
position with reference to the surround
Ing people was shown and this made it
apparent how and why Armenia in all
the conflicts that have ragged about
her has been between the upper and
lower milestone, until the situation to-
day was reached. The horrible massa-
cres that have shocked the civilized
world during the past few months were
presented, and the speaker said: az
think common humanity feels forced to
ask, what can we do? Can we stand
still While politicians, afraid to dis
turb the balance of power sit by and
watch while the Turks calmly murder
Armenians? ] could wish that we here
in Salt Lake City might add something
to the fund that is to be distributed by
the Red Cross society in Armenia,
might give money to help our starving
fellow Christians there. And [ ask
you as Christians to keep them in your
hearts and prayers in this, the time
Of their persecution. Let us pray for
them here tonight, and day after day;
and let us do all in our power to Gre
ate a sentiment amongst the people of
our own city and state, and so of the
land-a sentiment which shall lead this
nation by every right means to strive
to paralyze the prosecuting arm of the
Turkish empire, to encourage the souls
of the faithful Armenians to come to
the help of the Lord against the
mighty and set up once more in Ar
menia in place of the crescent of Mo-
manned the cross of Christ"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The predic.
ton is freely made by members of the
house committee OF, foreign affairs that
if the proposed reatfirmation of tho
Monroe doctrine is adopted by the sen-
ate and sent over to the house for ac-
ton, it will be allowed to rest quietly
in the committee files. A canvass Of
more than a majority Of both Republi-
can and Democratic members of the
committee failed to discover any men,
ber who indorSes it. Courtesy TO their
colleagues of the senate impels the
members of the comm, ittee i'll the other
house to refrain from putting them
selves on record in interviews as Op-
posed to the resolution. but in conversa-
ton they do not hes itate to criticise
the verbiage Of it s.nd to deprecate
the policy which brings it forward at
this particular time. One of the fore
most authorities on diplomatic matters
in the house said he deemed it very
poor diplomacy to take any steps tend
ing to increase the tension between this
government and Great Britain in what
practically amounted to II crisis.
The committee pembe,s think it WI
be better policy to sidetrack the resolu-
ton without any demonstration Of dis
approval than to make an adverse re-
port upon it to the house.
