IF THE CASE WE'RE REVERSED.

From the first moment the Euro
peans landed in Asia they began to lay
the foundation for the opinion, still
held by the Mongolians, that they are
n cruel, unjust and arrogant race; and
the present exploits of the great kaiser
in China are not calculated to give a
more reassurlng impression. What is
clear to others must be painfully APP

ton of their own land without Just

the Europeans used TO regard heather
nations as their just prey. They
treated them as inferior beings without

who We're stronger, And this spirit is
still too much prevalent II is not much
to be wondered at, therefore. that
the missionaries who penetrate the in

The Handelsblad in recent article
gives come idea of how the early
Dutch navigators treated the Chinese:
Their chief aim was to become mas
tiers OF the China trade, and to drive
out the Portuguese. According to our
modern views. they should have acted
as the friends of the Chinese. to prove
themselves n people whose assistance
would be Of real value to the Chinese
in their opposition TO the Portuguese.

SO even In the face OF oppression and
persecution. Standing on the funda-
mental principles embodied in the Con-
stitutlon, Mormonism only asks to be
accorded the rights therein granted.
equal with other religious systems
As did Luther and other champions oil
religious liberty. II respectfully asks
for a hearing and to be Judged by rea-
son or the Word of God. 1t has no
problems for the state to solve.
Enemies of the religion of the true
and living God have nearly always
fought that faith on the pretense of us
disloyalty to the state. 1t was so In
the case OF the Babylonian mobiles who
contrived to open the lions den TO
Daniel, the Hebrew. They found that
his success was greater than theirs
and that. no matter how closely they
watched him. they could find no plaus-
ible cause for action against him.
Here was problem indeed! Yet 1t was
solved by an imperial decree, the pur'
pose of which the emperor himself was
far from suspecting.
The Son of God was treated much in
the same way. His death was de-
creed, If we mistake not the lessons
of sacred history, chiefly because He
interfered with the scandalous traihc
within the precincts of the Temple, in
which the mighty family of Annas was
Interested But even false testimony
was insufficient for conviction. Another
terrible problem. At last ingenuity
mislnterpreted His teachings and made
Him a pretender to the throne OF Da-
vid, then In the hands Of Caesar, and
the purpose was accomplished by the
very crowd that, according to ancient
testimony, themselves were the con-
spirators.
IL is the same with Mormonism
Those who have prejudged 1t and de-
creed its destruction have also been
responsible for the so-called problem"
it has been said to involve. But the
real problem. or rather mystery, Is
this. that people conversant with the
letter of the Scriptures can see the
wonderful" work performed by the
Mormons, the manifestations OF Al
mighty power that has sustained them
during more than half n century OF
faithful and heroic struggle for their
own salvation and that of their fellow
men from the bondage of sin, and yet
deny the finger Of God in that work.
That is an enigma--a mystery of in
