Our New Type.

Through the kindness of Brother
George Woodward, who hired us
small amount of means, we have
been enabled to procure hundred
pounds of type that is almost as good
as new, of which this is sample.
1t has aided us materially but we
need a larger press, and have been
corresponding with variaus parties
on the subject and now all we lack
is the wherewith to procure what
we need. There are quite number
of our subscribers who have not yet
paid, that are amply able to help us
to the needed press, if they would,
and a remittance from them in cash
at their earliest convenience, will be
greatly appreciated. We do not say
this to croud anybody and trust that
none will take offense at it, for it
Costs us considerable more to run

receiving on both subscriptions and

that we can possibly obtain.

Year Without Summer.

The following interesting item is
found in Vickery's Fireside Visitor
for April, 1896, under the above
caption:
"Seventy Nine years ago was the
year without a summer. Frost Oc-
cured every month in the year 1876,
Ice found half an inch thick in May.
Snow fell to the depth of three inch
es in New York, and also in Massa-
chusetts in june. Ice was formed of
the thickness of window glass,
throughout New York on the 5th
day of July. Indian Corn was so
frozen that the greater part was cut
in August, dried for feed, and the
Farmers supplied themselves from
the corn produced in 1915 for the
seeding of the spring of 1917"
The Visiter has made slight mis-
take or else we are mistaken. If you
take 1876 from 1896, it leaves 80
it being 80 years ago instead of 79.
The Year 1896, thus far, has beer
Very strange season, intermingled
with cold and heat. On the nigh
of the 10th of may, 1896, the mercury
ran down to 20, and in the day time
| of the nth it ran up to so. This il

or Little Faith.

At Various times in conversation
with different parties on the princi-
pie of faith we have found some
who, in our estimation, are little
weak, and do not believe that God
is able to ward off persecution &C.,
from us unless we concede to the
various demands made on us by the
bowling demon through his adver-
saries.
In the first place we are told in
the 9Th chapter of St. Matthew,
BLESSED are they which are per-
secuted for righteousness sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heav-
en-. Blessed are we, when men
shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely: for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for
great Is your reward in heaven:
for SO prosecuted they the proph-
cts which We're before you. y
For verify I say unto you, Till
heaven and cart pass, one jot or
title shall in no wise pass from
the law, till all be fulfilled"
Then again in the 9th chapter of
st. Luke we are told, BLESSED are
We, when men shall hate you, and
when they shall seperate you from
their company, and shall reproach
yo,l, and cast outyour name as evil,
for the Son of mans sake. Re-
joice We in that day, and leap for
Joy: for, behold, your reward is
great in heaven: for in the like
manner did their fathers unto the
prophets"
Then in the same chapter it is
said "Woe unto you when all meu
shall speak we'll of you! for SO die
their fathers to the false prophets.
Then in the 3rd chapter of 2no
Timothy we are told, "Yea, and al
that will live godly in Christ Jesu
shall suffer persecution. But evi
men and seducers shall wax wors
and worse, deceiving and being de
ceived. But continue thou in tn
things which thou hast learned an
hast been assured of, knowing G
whom thou hast learned them"
These quotations show that thos
who are strictly living the true re
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-05-14

ligion must expect persecution and
also to have their name cast out as
evil, but at the same time, God our
heavenly father, is able to preserve
His Saints and bring them off vic
torious, if they will only put their
trust in Him and not put their
trust in mortal man, for in the 51st
chapter Of Isaiah, it is written,
"Hearken unto me, We that know
righteousness, the people in whose
heart IS my law; fear we not the re-
proach of men, neither be We
afraid of their revilings ~ But
my righteousness shall be forever,
and my salvation from generation
to generation"
If we do not put our trust in
God and ask Him in faith to pre-
serve us, what can we expect?
In the 18th chapter of St Mark
Jesus is quoted as saying "For
verify 1 say unto you, That whose
ever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast
into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall
come to pass; he shall have what
soever he saith. Therefore I say
unto you, what things soever ye
desire, when we pray, believe that
We receive them, and ye shall have
them."
In the LIST chapter of James we
are told that eff any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men literally, and up
braideth not; and it shall be given
him. But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering: for he that wa
vereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he
shall receive anything of the
Lord"
Now, then, if we desire God to
bless us and grant our petitions,
we must observe his laws and have
full faith, to carry us safely
through each trial and tribulation,
until, in the due time of the Lord,
the day shall come "When he shall
have put down all rule, and all au-
thority and power. For he must
reign, till he hath put all enemies
nnder his feet"
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-05-14

We consider our Dixie climate so
admirably adapted to the growth of
sweet potat oes that we give the fol-
lowing room.
The sweet Potato pomna batas
belong to the morning glory family
TConvo'vulacee The enlarged root
is Priced as vegetable, while the
long vines are not generally utilized,
although of value as food for live
stock.
Authorities have not been able to
agree whether the sweet potato owes
its origin to America or to the East
Indies. In the warmer regions Of
both the Eastern and the Western
continents it is extensively cult
waited.
According to the census to 1890,
the United States propuces annually
in round numbers 44,ooo,ooo bushels
of sweet potatoes. New Jersey is
the most northerly State in which
sweet potatoes are extensively Guilt
waited. However, good crops have
been matured at Geneva, N. Y, and
Lincoln, Neb. on the grounds of the
agricultural experiment stations. In
gardens still father north the sweet
potato has been cultivated. Maine,
for example, is credited in the last
census with 267 bushels.
Propagation BY Sets.
The sweet potato is most COM
monty propagated by means of the
buds or shoots from the roots. The
roots are planted in hotbeds, and the
buds or shoots which develops are
removed and transplanted in the
field. In some localities the cuttings
or sections from the vines secured
by the above method of propagation
are transplanted, and the plants thus
obtained produce the bulk of the crop
It's possible to propagate Explaining
true seed or by planting portions of
the root, as with Irish potatoes
The sweet potato rarely natures seed
in the United States, although true
seeds have been produced in green
houses. The sprouts or shoots from
the parent root have different loca1
names. In this bulletin they will
be referred to as sets.

Official Investigation of the Theater
Disaster in South Russia.


Disaster in South Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. January 24.-The Of
fetal investigation into the cause of the
fire which destroyed the Circus Theater at
Erkaterir oslav, capital Of the South Rus
sian government of that name, has not been
able to establish the real cause of the dis
aster, which is believed to have resulted in
the loss Of over seventy YES.
The first alarm was given by an actress
who appeared. terror stricken, on the stage
during a children's matinee. She screamed
with fright, and threw the whole audience
into panic as the theater Immediately be-
gan to fill with smoke and fame. a terrible
rush was made for the doors Of the build
ing, but only two out of the eight exits
were open, the others having been securely
closed on account OF the cold weather.
The scene in the theater was narrowing
in the extreme. the shrieks of those in
peril rising above all other sounds and at
tracing almost the entire population OF
Erkaterinoslav to the spot.
In the midst of the confusion the iron
roof Of the building collapsed, killing num-
ters of persons. The victims were mainly
children. aid in addition to those burned to
death, suffice ated by the smoke or crushed
by fall of the roof, many were trampled to
death in tie rush for the exits. The entire
building was burned, only the outer walls
standing. Bodies are still being recovered
from the ruins, and the opinion is express
ed that the first estimate that seventy lives
were lost will be shown to be short Of the
reality. B.sides those who lost their. lives
very great number of children were more
or less injured in the rush toward the
doors.
All the palformers, who were in their
dressing rooms or at the back Of the stage
when the fire broke out. succeeded in es-
Gaping The actress who first gave the
alarm is severely blamed for losing her
presence of mind.
The manager of the theater has peen ar
rested. and Is held prisoner pending. the
termination of the official investigation in
to the carse Of the fire. There are severe
penalties for not having the exits of the
theaters ready for use, but in winter time
in most parts of Russia the rules bearing
upon this subject are frequently disregard
ed. It is believed, however, that the disas-
ter at Erkaterinoslav will lead to a general
investigation of the theater exits, and pre-
cautions will be taken to prevent the re-
currence Of such terrible loss Of life.
