LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
Last Nights Address Was on 1.-The
MaIefactor on the Cross"

N120GS AuUIcSS w aS OAh
Malefactor on the Cross"
AT last evenings session of the Latter
Day Saints services in the Pythlan
Castle Elder Henry Peterson spoke on
the subject of 'The Malefactor Upon
the Cross He stated that the views OF
the Saints differ from those of other
denominations on this subject. The idea
is very common among Christians that
the penitent thief went directly with
the Savior into His kingdom, or a place
of peace and rest prepared for the right
eous Remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom" was the prayer OF
the dying malefactor, TO which the Mes
siah gave answer, This day shalt thou
be with me in Paradise"
This language, said the speaker, is
usually quoted in support of the idea
that he went directly into the kingdom
Of his Redeemer. But upon further con-
sideration, and a close comparison with
other Scripture, it is found that he did
not enter into this haven of the blessed,
but rather to Paradise. a place where
disembodied spirits dwell
The Savior, the morning of his resur-
rection, informed Mary that He had not
>
still was an event of the future. Where
then. was the Savior upon this day on
which the malefactor had the promise
of being with Him, and where this Para
disc where they should go together? The
Apostle Peter answers that, being put
to death in the flesh the Savior was
quickened by the spirit, by which also
He went and preached to the spirits in
prison, who had been disobedient and
rejected the gospel in the days Of Noah.
This explains. in unequivocal Ian
guage, where the thief went, who were
his comrades there, and why the Mes
siah went among them.
Though the thief had expressed faith
in Cor rather fear of the Lord, though
he had made confession of his sins, and
given outward show of repentance, he
was not yet prepared to enter the abode
Of those who had faithfully observed
the gospel. He had not complied with
the ordinance of baptism by which alone
men enter into the kingdom of God
That he and his disobedient compan-
ions might know the law by which they
are to be judged, "the gosepl was
preached also to them that are dead
that they might be judged according to
men in the flesh, but live according to
god in the spirit Il Pet, 4-6). The
gospel was not alone preached among
the disembodied spirits but we are told
in Scripture q Cor, 1920, and also in
ecclesiastical history, that it was a Gus
tom in Chris5s church to perform vi
carious bapti ;ms for the dead It would
be an unjust parent who would Danish
into out er darkness all who have not
heard and obeyed the gospel. It would
be uncharitable for us to believe them
to be eternally damned.
We rejoice in the knowledge of the
work being accomplished beyond the
grave, by which they may believe the
gospel and be brought into the fold;
that the departed who in life had no
chance to hear the gospel may in spirit
bend the knee and confess that Jesus
is the Christ

SICK AND WEARY OF LIFE.
Why Robert Winslow Threw Himself
Into the River.
His Body Found on Saturday-A Letter
to His Wife Which She
Never Received.

Robert Winslow, who was for years
a travelling salesman for M. Cronan,
the wholesale liquor dealer, disappeared
on January Sd, and it was thought
that he had probably strayed away
while suffering from temporary mental
arrangement, as he had been drinking
heavily previously to his appearance.
On Saturday afternoon, however, the
mystery was solved by the finding of
his body floating in the river near the
foot of L street. On his person were
found his gold watch and chain, dia-
mond collar-button, an elegant quartz
matchbox and $24 65 in money, be-
sides some books and papers.
The amount of money found on him
shows that he must have committed
suicide shortly after leaving his home
at o'clock that evening, as he was
known to have had that amount with
him His accounts with Cronan We're
all straight, and a note to his wife
contained in book found in his pocket
gives the clew to his death. 1t reads as
follows:
Sacramento, Jan. /, 1896.
Dear frankie: In this pocket-book
you will find all 1 have in the world,
WHICH l. Slduly DSquCdll " JOu. oiiA
sick and can't get well. We have had
many happy and pleasant times to-
gether."
The letter was unsigned.
Winslow was about Al years old, and
had been travelling on the road for
more than twenty years. He was we'll
known throughout the northern and
central portions of the State, and was
well liked by all who knew him.
His funeral will take place from
Clark's undertaking parlors to-day.

The Chinese have a simple but effec-

When they can use the courts to ad-

they rely upon their own method.
The other day one of the so-called

with a handsomer Mongolian. The
merchant sent out couple of his hencn-
men, armed with shotguns, to bring her
in, and they did SO on Saturday. They
found her in camp up the river, but
in making their report to their chief the
trailers say they could not find her par
amour.

Why Not Ten Cent polIara2

We all know that this country can
sustain limited amount Of silver cur
rency at a ratio Of IS to / because il is
already doing it. But if it can sustain
al unlimited amount coined at the same
ratio, why can it not as well sustain it
at a ratio of 3 to /? In other words,
why can it not strike from our 10 cent
piece the inscription one dime" and
make 1t Zone dollar" If this be prac-
ticable-snd it seems to me that the one
is as practicable as the other--is not the
proposition Of unlimited lG to an ex-
travagunt and useless waste Of the most
valuable commodity which the world
has ever known: 1t appears that there
are greater possibilities open to the ad-
yocatcs u the white metal than even
they have as yet conceived.
