! in her painted portraits we get the ex-
quisite coloring of kin and hair, and can
then appreciate Francois Coppee's en-
thusiastic description of her: "At this
moment Mile. Bashkirtseff appeared. 1
saw her but once. saw her only for an
hour. l shall never forget her. Twenty
three years old, but she appeared much
younger. Rather short, but with a per-
feet ngure, an oval face exquisitely mod
eled. golden hair, dark eyes kindlIng with
intellIgence-eyes consumed by the de-
sire to see and know everything, q firm
mouth, tender and thoughtful, nostrils
quivering like those OF a wild horse Of the
Ukraine.
"At first glance Mile. Bashkirtseff gave
me the rare impression of being pos
sessed of strength in gentleness, dignity
in grace. Everything in this adorable
young girl betrayed superior mind. Be-
meath ner womanly charms she had a
truy masculine viii of iron, and one was
reminded OF the gift of Ulysses to the
young Achilles-a sword hidden within
the garments of a woman"
For herself Marie seems to prefer the
portrait of which she speaks in the Jour
nal: For some davs past l have been
thinking CT Nice. l was Is when | was
there, and how pretty l was Ny fiaure,
my feet and my hands were not perha ps
as perfect as now, but my face was ravish-
ing. 1t has never been the same since.
On my return TO Rome Count Llurenti
almost made scene about me.
Your face has changed he said to
me; the features, the coioring are as be-
fore, but the expression is not the same.
You will never again be like that por-
trait
"He alluded to the portrait in which 1
am represented resting my elbows on
the table and my check on my clasped
hanls. You look as if you had ia lien
naturally into that position and, with
your eyes fixed upon the future, were ask.

On the next afternoon, which was All
Souls day, l took the train out to Passy
to see the large and beautiful monument
erected TO the memory of Marie Bash
kirtseff. The pretty little cemetery lies
on high piece of ground close by the
great front of the Trocadero Palace. Here
L found all the tombs open and decked
with flowers and banners, and crowds of
people passing to aud fro. The tomb of
the young Russian artist stood at the en-.
trance TO the grounds and was built OF
what appeared to be limestone, taste.
fully scuptured in flowers, foliage and
frlezes OF palettes. with grouping of
small pinnacIes about large central one.
Several beautiful lines in golden letters
commemorate the virtues of the de.
ceased, and above is palm branch in
bronze. The glass door stood open and
soft, sad music hoated out to US. Within
the tomb. which was simply a mass of
flowers, sat Mime. Bashkirtseff receiving
her friends. About the room were ranged
number of the dead girls personal pos
sessions and also a portrait of herself,
while opposite the door stood a marble
bust, most beautifully decorated with
flowers aid chaplets.
And so Marie Bashkirtseff has had her
dying wish carried out as nearly as pos
sib!e - though Bastien- Lepage himself
passed away fourteen days after her
death. EUGENfA B. MABURY.

As Marie mentions, the latter is really
two rooms-the large one, in which she
painted, and the small one adjoining
where she retired to read. Everything re-
mained just as she had left it, except that
her most famous paintings, "The Meet
ing" "Spring," Jean and jacques" and
others. had been taken to the Luxem-
bourg. The polished floor was bare, save
for a piece of Persian carpet, some Chi
nese mating and a few oriental rugs scat
tered about. On the wall hung two Gobe-
lin tapestries, large and shabby. and
everywhere we're silken scars and sat-
inette draperies of rich, warm colors. The
furniture consisted OF a table for model
ing, on which stood a partly finished
statue, a square Algerian seat richly
carved, a stove. a clock. a tea tray, a box
of carpenters tools and an oak chest OF
drawers with the upper part serving as a
color box and holding an inkstand and
pens, pail and a jug. All about were
casts and lay-hg ures, while on the walls
and up in the little gallery running alorg
one side of the apartment were a great
mum ber of canvases-studies, sketches,
caricatures-in all stages of incompletion,
some only barely begun. Three or fou7
diminished portraits were slit from top to
bottom by the fiery-sprited artist, so am
bilious, yet ever dissatisfied, IN a sudden
ut OF anger or disgust.
Next in interest after the paintings
came small showcase displaying a CO.

them the Priesthood Of Aaron, which
power he held when in mortal life
and acted as the forerunner of the
Savior. This resurrected being laid
his hands upon their heads and said
Upon you my fellow servants, in
the name OF Messiah, confer the
Priesthood of Aaron, which holds
the keys of the ministering of
Angels, and OF the Gospel OF repen-
lance, and OF baptism by immersion
for the remission OF sins; and this
shall never again be taken from the
earth, until the sons of Levi do offer
again an acceptable offering unto the
Lord in righteousness" He in
formed them that the Aaronic
Priesthood had not the power oflay-
ing on of hands for the gift of the
Holy Ghost, but that this authority
should be conferred later. By direc-
ton OF this holy being Joseph or
dancd Oliver and the latter admins
tered the same ordinance upon
Joseph, and in the same order they
ordained each other to the Aaronic
Priesthood, as they had been COM
mandcd. Both experienced a great
outpouring of the spirit Of God and
were filled with the spirit and git of
prophecy, which they exercised and
had unspeakable Joy.
On subsequent occasion those
two founders OF a mighty work were
visited by Peter, James and John
the same who were Apostles OF the
Lord in His ministry in mortality
and in the dispensation established
by Himself They conferred upon
them the Priesthood OF Melchisedec,
which holds the keys of all spiritual
blessings, including the power to
confer the Holy Ghost upon those
who believe and obey the Gospel.
On the 9th day Of April, 1890, at
tayette, Seneca county, New York,
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints was organized, by com
mandment Of God, and agreeable to
the laws of our country.
1t will be observed that in the mi
tatory process ofiorming the Church
each step taken indicates natural
graduation from beginning to attain

I tinent here to quote the words OF the
! Prophet Joseph Smith: 1--WE be-
/ lieve all that God has revealed, all
that He does now reveal, and we be-
lieve that He will yet reveal, many
great and important things pertain
ing TO the Kingdom OF God"
PRE-EXISTENCE OF MAN.
In presentation OF facts and prin-
ciples it sometimes appears to the
reader as il the structure created BY
the writer is not in logical order.
As the perusal proceeds, however,
the object Of the relator becomes
clear and consequently justified. 1t
is presumed that he who makes the
explanation has, by an analogical
process, perceived the association Of
one portion OF system with all OF
its other parts, and is thus enabled to
place them in the order OF their re-
lationship.
This subordinate introduction is
given in case the reader should
deem out Of place at this stage, d
reference to the views of the Latter
day Saints regarding the origin OF
man. Their understanding Of the
latter which they claim has been
conveyed by revelation from God,
j, that he is a dual being. In other
words that man is a spirit, and that
the body is his physical habitation.
That spiritually he is a child of God,
and in consequence Of this parentage
belongs to the same class as the
source from which he sprung. He
lived before he came into mortal ex-
istence and will live after he leaves
it, being indestructiblc,
This sublime thought is beauti-
fully expressed in one of the exquis-
tie productions of Eliza r. Snow,
the Introductory verse of which is
here prescntcd;
40 my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place;
When Shall regain thy presence,
And sEain behold Thy face!
In thy holy hlbitltlon.
Did my spirit once reside.
In my first primey1l childhood
Was nuuured near thy side"
Christ frequently expressed His
understanding OF the relationship

plish wonderful work that would
cause his name to be held for good
and evil in all the world. This Wis
itation and accompanying instruc-
tons were twice repeated the same
night, and there was third repeti-
ton in an open field on the following
day.
Joseph subsequently visited the
place designated by the messenger
where the records and sacred instru-
ments were deposited and behcld
them. He on that occasion again
communed with the angelic visitor,
who requested him to meet with him
each year at the same spot until the
plates should be entrusted to him.
This he did faithfully, and on the
22nd day of September, 1927, he
received the plates and Trim and
Thummim, with a strict charge as
to the use that was to be made of
them and in relation to their preserva-
ton from falling into the hands Of
wicked men.
After encountcring great difficult
ties and overcoming them, the work
OF translation was accomplished, and
what is known as the Book of Nor
