5 The Mormon Semi-CentenniaI.
-. i


The celebration of the semi-centen-
NAL, which has just taken place was.
the most i'm portant event in the his
tory OF Mormonism. It was something
more than the anniversary of the set
tlement OF Utah by the Latter Day
Saints under Brigham Young.
1t marks the Americanization Of the
Mormon church and the end Of the
bitter warfare that has been going on
forsf1fty years. It is the outward and
visible announcement that prejudices
have disappeared, that Mormon and
Gentle are one people, brothers in fact
and in name. Salt Lake is today one
of the most beautiful cities in Amer
lea. It has about $4,000 people and the
police force numbers about one man
to each 1000 Inhabitants. In the great
cities Of the world the ratio is about
one policeman to five hundred people.
Its fine schools are the work of the
Gentiles, but all other things are the
monuments reared by the Mormons.
That magnificent temple, which was
a quarter Of century in building, the
great tabernacle, seating $4,000 people,
is one Of the wonders of the New
World, and which has acoustic proper
ties that verge upon the uncanny. In
this turtle backed building a pin drop
ped on the platform can be heard 200
feet away in any part Of the building.
In it, too, is the largest organ in the
world. d 5.s 5*s 5*s
The tithing house, that square of
one-story buildings and tents which is
really nothing more than a great mar
ket place, the Assembly, the Amelia
palace and the other buildings which
are a part of the growth of the Latter
Day Saints is the next important sight
The story of the exploration of these
people into an unknown wilderness is
one of frightful privation5 and tremend-
Gus heroism. They reached Salt Lake
Valley on July "a, 1847. s5
Brigham Young declared that this
desert was the home Of the Mormon
people and there should they remain
and prosper. With this fiftieth an
niversary at hand it is pleasant to re.
member that the first act Of the col
onists was to raise the American aaa
on the highest peak near the present
site of Salt Lake City. 5s@
After hosting the stars and stripes
the leader of these sturdy pioneers
drove four stakes into the ground
Here he said, I'VE will build our

tine center of far reaching horizons,
inspires one with desire to die. To
lie down here and sleep seems good.
But most peaceful of all are the realms
fof the dead in marine villages, at the
edge of the sea, within sound OF the
luAing of the running waves which
sing an eternal song on the eternal
Sleep amid the wall of the Wand over
the ancient tombs.
One day about fifteen years ago I
entered one of these places of supreme
rest beside the waves on the Breton
coast, with it's crosses pointing toward
heaven in a way which makesDne think
OF eternity. Beside little old church,
beneath the shadow of a stone bell tur-
ret, slept the forefathers, who, whether
they had died in youth or in age, were
all made an equal part by accomplished
time. And there was no sadness in
this evidence of fatal death, but rather
a happy relief in the thought that the
burden OF suffering will not always
weigh down our poor shoulders and
that sorrow had its prescribed limit.
And pleasant, too, was slow spelling out
OF the inscriptions on the tombs in the
warmth of the sunlight which the flut-
tering Intoxicated birds greeted with a
z sweet delirium of song. Three CEN
turles of time separated the old stones
from the new, and a peace was made
over all feuds here under the high
crosses with outstretched arms, clear
cut against the green sea, standing in
their eternal attitude of forgiveness.
