Mr.. Curtis on Venezuela.
Venezuela. Land Where It's Always Sum-
mer. BY William Eleroy Curtis With a
Map. PIP. Sl5. New York: Harper &
Brothers.
In the last issue of THE UNIvERsALIsT
we gave some extracts from this timely
volume, which dou btless attracted the
readers attention. Venezuela has come
into unusual prominence within the
last few months on account of President
Clevelands message in reference to the
disputed boundary question between
this South American country and Great
Britain. Mr.. Curtis's volume embodies
in compact and readable form descrip-
ton of the past history and present con-
dition of the country giving much valu-
able information touching the popula-
ton and the products of this LAND
Where It's Always Summer"
Venezuela is an immense country. 1t
has an area more than double that of
Texas, is watered by more than thous-
and rivers and one of these the Orinoco,
with nearly two million square miles of
land suited to agriculture, and nearly
three million more adapted to grazing
end the remainder covered with valua-
BILE forest or mountain ranges rich in
mineral products. The inhabitants as a
rule are Indifferent to progress. They
believe in doing as their ancestors did.
Hence steel plough or any improved
instrument of agriculture is looked upon
with distrust. The plough used is hard
ly better than that common in Egypt in
the time of Moses. Coffee is the staple
product; but Venezuela is also the great
producing country of the world
and the chocolate of Caracas is unsur.
passed."
The volume which Mr.. Curtis has pre-.
pared at this opportune time, when on
account Of the international dispute,
Venezuela has attracted so much atten-
ton. is packed full of information in re.
gard to this wonderful region. 1t is a
repository Of facts in all directions
concerning this rich and extensive
country. Mr.. Curtis has resided in South
America and knows Venezuela thor
oughly. He was we'll prepared when the
international dispute became prominent
to inform his countrymen as to the re-
gion on which public attention was so
quickly conferred. His volume, however,
does not deal with the boundary ques-
ton. 1t is mainly historical and des-
criptive. President Clevelands message
and the letters of Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Olney are printed as an appendix.
Whoever desires to become acquainted
with Venezuela, and to understand its
history. both under the Spanish do.
minion for two hundred and forty years.
and as an independent South American
State. will find this volume full otinter.

the spirit Of inspiration. The different
speakers Of the mouing and afternoon

In the evening Elder Tanner addressed
u large and attentive audience upon the
text What Is man that thou art mind

visilest himfp From the Scriptures Il
was proven in the discourse that man is
spiritually a child OF Deity and inherited
the attributes OF his divine Parent and
that man existed spiritually as an
organized entity before being born Of
his earthly parents into mortality. II
was stated that mortality was be-
queathed upon man that he might oh.
tain a body Of flesh aud bones and by
obedience to the Gospel develop the at
tributes and powers inherited from 81
heavenly pafeniage, that man may
ultimately become perfect as OUT Father

Thinking perhaps lew lines from

We herewith give a short account OF our
iabofs IN this county. We commenced
our labor IN this county on MAY Iith,
making our headquarters with Sister
Lydia Lewis a member Of the Church OF
Jesus Christ oi l.altef.day Sain 5,
whose home always has been open to
our Elders while travelling as embassa'
dofs OF truth.
our labor has consisted OF visiting
from house to house, leaving our tracts;
converting with the people and holding
meetings in the churches and school
houses, when opportunity afforded.
We have been treated with respect and
plenty with few exceptions. We have
made many friends aud removed noun.

IN the minds vi the people Tor years, and
no that we have lett some honest sous

month has been spent In visiting aud
holding meetings where our Elders have
been before, and we believe there are
some hrre who are convinced Of the
Gospel as We teach II; but the word
"Mofmonism" has such terrible
significance attached to II in the eyes VI
the world that their faith is not strong
enough to accept the name and the
ndicule Il sometimes brings upon them
Our last week out we made a visit to
the McKisic Island where we found a
community Of forty or fifty families OF
industrious aud hospiiable people,
mostly Adventists and Methodisis. As
the Gospel never had been preached to
this people we made arrangements TO
hold three meetings IN their school
house; they were well attended While
among them we were well treated and
made many friends. and we trust that
some oi the seed we have sown In this
county has fallen upon good soil, and Ia
due time will bring iorlh fruit worthy Of
repentance. Hut We can only plant,
