IN MEMORlA.

Written on the death of Ester T.. High
Held. who died September IT, 1888
On death thou claimant of all mortal llfe
Thou did st cur humble home invade,
And upon wife, and mother, dear
Thou hast thy Icy fingers laid.
Her cold and lifoless body now
Lies calm and silent in tho tomb,
AND nor sweet spirit has gone hence,
In paradise to bloom.
In early youth she moekly bowed
10 the will of him who rules on high,
And ever faithful to her trust
She said, Eat last IN peace die"
For months her pains sho hu.nbly bore
with fortitude and grace divine
She murlnured not but ever said,
1T is the will of him who rules sublime"
At morning, noon aud cycntide,
With thoughts of thee, our own dear one
We will like thee submissive bow.
And say not our, but thy will be don..
And when with this vain world we're done
God grant with thee we all may meet,
ANA iike thee wear a royal Crowd,
Around the mercy seat. Bu

Presbyterian Charges.
ROBERTS WON AS AN AMERICAN.


Into the Electlon-The Teaching of
Polygamy by the Mormon Church
Has Been Permanently Discontinued

ton with the election Of e. II. Roberts
to congress and certain charges cir
culated by the Presbyterian Board of
Missions, President Lorenzo Snow, Of
the Mormon church, furnished a signed
statement to an afternoon paper here
in which he says in part:
II declare most solemnly and en-
phatlcally that the statements which
are being published to the effect that
the Mormon church Is encouraging the
teaching Of polygamy are utterly un-
true. Ever since the issuance of the
manifesto on this subject by President
Wilford Woodruff, my predecessor in
office, polygamous or plural marriages
have entirely ceased in Utah
Since my accession to the presidency
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints l have repeatedly asserted
my intention to stand by that mani
festo and my determination not to per-
nit any marriage to take place under
the sanction of the church which is
contrary to the law of the state, and
I now reaffirm that statement
'"The implied understanding with the
nation when Utah entered the Union
as state has been sacredly observed.
