the spirit of love instead of hate.
Mr.. Ostrom is . speaker Of ex-
traordinary power and earnestness.
In his fiery zeal he reminds one more
of Moody than of any other modern
evangelist. though his discourses
bear evidence of thought and cul-

through the divine message Of the
gospel. He is q man Of great faith

A FEW QUERIES.


There is just about as much heated
Imagination In the utterances OF the
file leaders In one at least of the so
called great parties MS 1t Is possible to
compress into the time allotted for the
several speakers.
1t has never been asserted by the
Citizens Reform party that all political
anliation should cease in Salt Lake
City or Utah. It has simply been
claimed that the government of a muni-
cipality in which all men paying taxes
are equally Interested should be in the
hands of discreet, judicious business
men. Irrespective of their leanings In
regard to national questions which no
city council has power to modify or
overthrow.
1t has never been asserted by the Cit
liens Reform party that no good men
can be found on any party ticket. 1t is
simply said that being indebted to
their party for position with its emolu-
ments and opportunities, THAR first
allegiance is to that party, and that no
other applicants, however qualified by
specIal ability or patriotism, need APP
ply. for "to the victors belong the
spoils."
IT has never been asserted, or even
limited that unless a person renounces
his party he or she is therefore a
"ward heeler or a pothouse politician"
1t is simply said that for some time
primaries and conventions have been In
great part MANIPULATED by this class,
and that they for services rendered.
have been foisted into or had positions
created for them, to the exclusion of
better and more deserving men.
IL has never been asserted by the Cit
liens Reform party in word or deed
that the people could not be trusted to
govern themselves. 1t is said, and
truthfully, that large percentage of
Taxpayers desired in their hearts that
expression might be found somewhere
| for their grievances, that effort should
be made by somebody to voice their
heartfelt opposition to extravagant ex-
penditure. to onerous taxation, and TO
other burthens which for some time
have been too patiently borne.

CONFERENCE ON LErRosY.


An international conference Of medl-
cal men was recently held in Berlin for
the purpose of discussing the nature
and possible remedy for leprosy. This
dreaded disease has lately appeared in
several places in Europe where former
ly 1t was unknown. and particularly
in the eastern provinces in Prussia.
The government Of that country be-
came alarmed and invited physicians
of different parts of the world to come
together and confer upon the subject.
The congress was wen attended and its
deliberations were followed with much
interest.
Most of the physicians present held
that the disease is caused by bacillus
peculiar to human beings, and that 1t
consequently is contagious, although
much less so in northern countries with
n cold climate than in warmer regions
Thus in Norway, where a great many
lepers are found. 1t had never been con-
sidered necessary to separate the
patients very rigidly from the rest Of
their follow beings. 1t had also been
proven that sufferers who had been
removed from a warmer to a colder
climate had felt a decided change for
the better.
With regard to any remedy 1t was
admitted that none so far had been
found. All that medical skill can do
for the lepers is to alleviate their
sufferings Not even serum had proven
effective. The opinion was expressed
that 1t would be necessary for sci
entists and governments to work to-
gether for extirpation of the disease.
To this country the question is an i'm
portant one because, Notwithstanding
the care that is exercised In the ex-
cluslon of all sick immigrants from our
shores, persons infected with the
disease may land, IL 1t is not of suffi-
GENTLY long standing to show lts symp-
toms. 1t is well known that leprosy may
linger in the body for years before its
presence is known even to the suf-
ferers themselves. The proposition Of
Dr. Ashmead of New York to appoint
a permanent international commission
for the scientific treatment Of the mat
ter was unanimously commended. and
it may possibly be carried out in not
distant future.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1897-10-30


A few days ago dispatch from
Denver stated that a clergyman of that
city had informed his congregation of
the discovery of leaf of the New
Testament, the earliest. so far, in ex-
istence. The announcement, II well
founded, is important enough to COM
mand widespread attention.
According to exchanges received,
the sacred relic was found among a
lot of papyri sent by DR.. Petrie of the
Oxford university to England. The
Denver clergyman paid visit to Dr.
Petrie about three weeks ago and
learned of the find of the leaf In ques-
ton. Hitherto only a few intimate
friends of Dr. Petrie had been aware
of its existence.
The leaf now found contains almost
the entire first chapter of the Gospel
of Matthew, and corresponds exactly TO
the Greek text commonly in use.
Critics who have examined the charac-
ters pronounce It written before the
must be a copy Of still earlier manu-
scripts. The theory is that the leaf has
fallen out Of the book OF which 1t once
formed part, and that Il had been
thrown among waste paper and found
its way to the pile of rubbish where
1t finally was discovered among other
papyri by the Egyptian explorers.
In order to appreciate the import
ance of this leaf of the New Testa-
ment, 1t must be remembered that 1t
has been urged with considerable
force lately that in the history of the
New Testament writings there is gap
Of century or more between the days
of the sacred authors and the earliest
catalogues of their writings. not 10
say anything about the earliest copies
extant. Now this fragment comes To
the world as voice from that distant
past proving beyond a doubt the eN-
istence of New Testament writings
known, and probably during the days
of the so-called apostolic fathers, II
not of the first Apostles of our Lord.
1t may bring modern criticism to the
necessity Of changing it's tactics. 1t
certainly strengthens the position of
believers in the authenticity OF the
New Testament
We are not disposed to undervalue
the Importance of any historical evil
dence in favor Of the foundations OF
the Christian faith, but we believe
nevertheless that those foundations
are so firmly planted that nothing car
remove them. The influence Of Chris
tianity upon the weird Is an argument
before which every doubt must b.
quoted. The re-establishment Of the
Church in our own age in it's origlna
purity and power Is a sufficient reply
to all the technical questions Of mod
ern critics. The failure of Christi.
anity as It is today-or rather Of
"churchlanity," as 1t has been called
to save the world from vice and to in,
tuse into private and public life a
moral principle is not due to a lack OF
historical evidence but to the fact that
! lts teacAlnSs are not applied. More
