THE EUROPEAN MISSION.

Elder j. w. MoMurrln, of the First
Council of Seventies and one of the
counseors to the president of the Eu-
ropean mission. in private letter to
President George Q. Cannon, gives
some statistics regarding the labors of
missionaries in that field during the
past year. His letter is undoubtedly
of interest to the general public.
The reports show that there were
1,412 baptisms during the year 1897. an
increase OF 2A over 1896. The writer
has been looking over the reports for
some years back and found that there
has not been so many baptisms In one
year. in the European mission, since
1884. The average number of baptisms
for each year since 1884 has been 1850.
except in 1887, when 1t was /, s9S.
ut is true" Brother McMurrin
writes, 1--WE have more missionaries in
the field now than ever before, and we
do not have MS many baptlsms for each
Elder as some former years: stilI. l
think it very gratifying to find that
with the great increase OF Elders we
have an almost corresponding Increase
of baptisms. In spite of the fact that
the Gospel has been preached 50 ex-
tenslvely in these countries for so many
years back, / am of the opinion that
the Elders OF this mission still meet
with as much success as their fellow
laborers In other parts OF the world"
The Elders laborlng in Great Britain
during the past year have visited
5Si,lO9 houses In tracing from door TO
door, and have held 55,s67 Gospel con-
ycrsations. They have received IL ASS
special Invitations to visit the houses
OF the people where they have been
tracing. and distributed 1,27i .25S tracts
and placed 5,953 Gospel books In the
hands Of investigators. They have
held S55S hall or cottage meetings and
4.l0i open air meetings. This labor has
resulted In the conversion of 500 souls,
preJudlces have been removed and hum
dreds Of friends have been made. while
the warning has been sounded in the
ears Of tens Of thousands The
missionaries themselves have had their
testimony strengthened, and they have
been established firmly in the truth.
In the Netherlands mission there
have been 19G baptisms: 2l In switzer-
land ana Germany: SOP in the scandl-
navlan countries and 10 In Turkey.
The Elders operating on the continent
do not engage so extensively in tract

Britain: neither do they hold open-alr
meetings. such not being allowed In

TRUSTS COMPARED,


the world has been startled by the
andacity of trusts. Capital itself has
smiled on realizing its supreme
strength and power--the discovery of
possibilities of combination was as
much OF a surprise 20 itself as it was
to all its parts. Perchance here and
there an individual had dreams of
unity based upon personal experience
or desire, but the "shibboleth" of trade

became chronic-in large part de-
structive; and little by little the
shadowy outlines of new power be-

many directions the grip Of a monster
is believed to be within the velvet

our Elders are lahorlng. The tracts In
use in the missions on the continent
are very much larger than those used
in Great Britain. and the cost Of them
would make II Impossible for the
Elders to use them az freely as they
are used In this part Of the mission.
Good success attends the missionaries
ON the continent, and in spite Of the
fact that In some ways they are ham
pered and do not have as good oppor-
turities for preaching the Gospel as
the Elders in Great Britain have, they
maintain a higher average of baptisms
for each Elder than has been reached
for some time by the brethren in the
British Isles.
The missionaries In all parts OF the
mission are seeking to adopt the best
methods possible for the spreading of
the Gospel, and they are laboring with
"A zeal and faith that are commenda-
BILE for the accomplishment of the work
whereunto they have been called.
Elder McMurrln states in conclusion
that the health of the Elders with very
few exceptions IL good.
Elder a. ii. Lund, of the Council OF
Apostles, and Elder Il. +. Hintze ar
rived in Liverpool January 18th, and
spent come days and afterwards
attended a special meeting at
birmingham. From this place they
went to Cardiff, where the Welsh con-
ference was held. and then spent three
days in London.
During the visit of Elder Lund n
Liverpool. In accordance with instruc-
tons from President Milford Wood
ruff, Elder McMurrin was set apart as
one of the First Council of Seventies.
Concerning this Elder McMurrin
writes:
Before I was set apart. Brother
Lund asked me If | was willing to ac-
cept of the position | answered Yes.
He then asked me II | knew Of any
thing that would prevent me from dis
charging the duties of the office. |
answered No After this he talked
to me in an impressive manner in re-
lation to the Importance of the calling
and office, and then set me apart. I
feel that very serious responsibility
has been placed upon me, and 1t seems
marvellous to me that / should be
called to such position. ] pray the
Lord to bless me with the qualifications
necessary to enable me TO discharge
the duties of the calling, to His divine
acceptance"

A friend OF the News" has sent to
this office a copy of an English news
paper of recent date. containing what
purports to be an authentic description

supposedly was copied from an origi-

DOGS AS DRAUGHT ANIMALS.


The plains OF Western Belgium and
Holland are especially suited to the
use OF dogs as draught animals, while
few are to be seen in the mountain
GUS districts OF Switzerland, where
their use Is confined to drawing NEE
sengers form village to village and to
haul the ragpickers' carts. But even
in gently rolling districts team OF
dOgs, strong and spirited, attached to
a lightly loaded cart, can outdistanco
as many horses on long hauls. For
instance, a team of draught horses will
make the journey from Ghent to Brus-
sells, distance OF thirty-fOur miles, in
four hours, while a team of dogs will
travel the same road in three hours
without apparent fatigue. II Is impos-
sible, however, to determine even an
approximate average of the weight q
single dog can draw through a given
distance in a given time Somewhat
indefinitely, il may be said that six
dogs can draw a load OF 500 pounds
during several consecutive hours with
out signs OF distress. It is a fact also
that two dogs can draw peddler's
load from o'clock in the morning
until s o'clock in the evening, with
only such rest as the intervals Of sale
may offer, and that they will then be
less fatigued than their master at the
end Of the days work. One dog alone
generally has strength enough to
draw a milkman's cart and sixty gal
Ions OF milk over long route In a
rolling country.
The average working life of these
faithful animals is 10 years. They
reach their full strength at 3 years
and from then until they are 9 years
old should be at their best. With
good care and sufficient food most dogs
are capable OF service even until Is
years old, and many trot their daily
round with cheerful alacrity. although
bearing the weight of 20 years. II
Is the frequency Of accidents, insult
hcent food and overlooking that re-
duce the average life. The dog takes
to his work, after a few days per-
functory training, very readily, rarely
under ordinary circumstances HAVING
TO be urged to great exertion. Indeed
II spoken to at all, il is TO restrain him
from drawing the cart faster than the
driver cares 10 walk. The preparation
of wagon for a trip affects the train
ed dog much as the sight OF a gun Og
shooting costume does o setter or for
hound, and, when harnessed. ne trots
to his place, under the wagon, with
tail wagging. York Evening
