THE "PREss" ON UTAH AFFAIRS


The st, Paul Pioneer Press docs not
appear to relish the criticism OF the
Deseret News, on its endeavors to in
form the public about a subject which
It does not understand. We advised the
Press before INDUCING In flights Of
iahcy, as to "a breach Of compact" be-
tween the people Of Utah and
the United States, 10 read the
Enabling Act and the State
Constitution. We also suggested that
when trying 10 explain the tenets and
position Of the Mormon" Church. It
should Inquire into the facts before tell
Ing such fairy tales as those In which
1t INDUCED.
The Press does not take kindly TO
these suggestions, and remarks: THE
News would have its readers believe
that there was no other compact be-
tween the people of the United States
and Utah than that embodied In the
Enabling Act and the Constitution Of
Utah. Certainly. Would the Press
nave It's readers believe that there was
any other compact? II so, viii II please

That is the trouble with the Press and

But there have been few, II any,
whose religious teaching has been SO
widespread, so vital and so permanent
in its effects as that Of Dwight L.
Moody. He was man Of the people
self-educated, and lacking. TO some ex-
tent the finer graces that lend a Won
derful and fitting charm to the preach
ing Of many Of our most profound and
solid theologians He has been credited
with wonderful personal magnetism
but even In this respect he fell short OF
Beecher and Of good many other less
celebrated men, The magnetism OF his
presence and voice, in fact, was not
what we commonly mean when we use
that word. II was rather the conyinc-
ing, tremendous force of absolute per-
sonal sincerity. II was the wonderful
power OF a man for whom religion had
transformed life utterly and In whom IL
found living exponent.

ANGLo-GERMAN TREATY.

A Berlin paper Is said to have pub
lished the contents Of secret German
English Portuguese understanding, ac-
cording to which Great Britain and
Germany are to d, De the Portuguese
possessions In Africa and Asia. II Is
claimed that the consent Of Portugal
TO the arrangement has been obtained,
this country to receive a suitable equiv
alent in money for the territory to be
ceded Germany would receive 10000
square miles Of territory, with a mill
lion inhabitants, and to England would
be added thirteen million inhabitants
Naturally both Russia and France
learn with CONSERVATION Of such a
and-grabblng conspiracy The sug-
gestion is made that Russia seize
Herat. TO get even. But what can
France do? The Paris government Is
wondering what steps the United States
Is going to take about the seizure Of
American vessels In Delagoa bay, but
there Is no sign Of that country in
tending to take the initiative against
England. The news OF the intended
purchase Of Portuguese colonies is Of
immense Importance. 1t cannot but
further strain the relations between
Great Britain and her rivals for power
and trade.
Great Britain now realizes the South
African situation, as never before. She
has found 1t necessary to order to the
front Field Marshal Lord Roberts Of
Kandahar, and Lord Kitchener OF
Khartoum fame. She realizes that in
the next aggressive move & victory
must be won, complete and decisive.
British arms In Africa must shine 50
brilliantly as to make Russia pause.
They must perform some deed whereby
confidence may be restored in Egypt, in
Italy, in Japan, and even in Germany.
For further disasters would mean the
loss Of prestige among the family OF
nations.
There Is some doubt as TO the wisdom
Of the appointment Of Lord Roberts to
the African command. He is a brilliant
general, but he Is no longer in the prime
Of life, and 1t is doubted by some.
that his experience in previous cam
paigns will count for a great deal In
this war with an enemy, as original In
tactics as full Of bravery and endurance.
But the public are now expecting
everything at his hands, as they were
demanding all of General Butler. He
must turn the tide Of events, to save
his country from panic and perhaps
from outside attacks. Should he, too
meet with reverse, that would amount
to a national calamity.
OF the righteousness Of the present
war opinions differ. and not a few in
this country pronounce 1t unjust. But
there can be no two opinions Of this
fact that for the future preservation
Of the peace Of the world, Great Britain
must win in Africa. Her defeat would
mean the ascendancy OF powers that
would In all probability cover the sur
face OF the earth with armies and
navies. In the interest of peace Eng
land must continue first class power
In Europe, That much seems to be
beyond successful contradiction.

II was because Of his capacity for
organization that Mr. Moody became
distinct from revlvalists generally who
content themselves with exciting re-
ligious feryor among the masses and
leave II TO other men to direct II 10
useful channels His was a construc-
tive nature. He delighted In building
up the church and was as earnest in the
silent, hidden work required TO lay the
foundations OF some institution as he
was in rousing the minds and stirring
the hearts OF great audience by his
eloquence. His work In the world has
been done wen and will live after him.
He has not founded a sect as Wesley
did. or as General Booth has done In
our generation, bat none the less he
has deeply impressed his convictions
and his personality upon the people.
and the influence will long remain as
one OF those which tend TO the better
ment Of humanity.

It is likely that few men since the
days of Whitfield have attracted such
great crowds Of people. He was some
what on the order Of Sturgeon, but by
no means so strong a man. No one
could fail, after hearing him, TO be
impressed with his great earnestness
and desire to do good That explains
his power over men. He believed every
word he uttered to be the truth, and
he had the power to force that convic-
ton upon others During a great part
Of his career ne was aided In no small
degree by the singing Of his fellow
worker, Ira d. Sankey, and the two
names-Moody and Sankey-are In
separately associated In the public mind.

Moody. the gospel preacher; Sankey,
the gospel singer, and Bliss, the gospel
poet, made in the more active days Of
the evangelist's work an agency that
arrested and compelled the attention
Of men TO their spiritual needs as no
other during the century has done. To
have been the foremost evangelist OF
the United States was much; to be
the mightiest Christian worker Of his
time Is far more. and this claim may be
safely made for Dwight Lyman Moody.

ity. He left the battle Of the creeds to
be waged by the cloistered scholars.
His profession was not theology. He
was about his Masters business While
theologlans emptied pews with dog
matte controversy he filled great audi
forums with the masses OF the, people
who were hungry for the simple con-
solutions OF religion. In his mind the
three words. God is Love, swept the
heights and depths Of revealed Chris
tianlty. Scholarship could add nothing
to them; they were above and beyond
all man.made creeds. This was the Sc
,ret OF Moody's power.

IN RELIGIONS REALM.
FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought of the Day
as Expressed in the Sec
tartan Press.

"It is very shallow view of
things" says the Living Church (P.
Ed of Chicago, which would attribute
the present troubles in England to a
childish attachment for incense or other
matters of ceremonial. The use of in
cense is comparatively infrequent.
But hundreds of men are taking part
in this struggle who have never used
incense and probably never would use
it. The root of the matter lies in the
relations of Church and State, and the
question is the perennial one, whether
those relations can ever be. so adjusted
that, remaining in union, the one will
not encroach upon the province of the
other. The solution is rendered more
difficult from the fact that the govern
ing power in the State is no longer
Christian, or, if it may still be classed
as such, it is only in a vague and gem
eral sense, in the way commonly called
'undenominational.' Parliament, as it
is now constituted, is a standing men
ace TO the church. AT any time, by
the incoming of new party, the old
half f-conscious traditions which have
hitherto served as a barrier to extreme
action, may suddenly be swept away
Those who do not appreciate the state
of things which lies behind the pres
ent anxieties of churchmen in England
must necessarily fail to understand the
true significance of the Crisis
Undoubtedly" says the New York
christian Intelligencer'' (Ref), there
has come a great change in the mat
ter of pulpit topics and the method of
their treatment within the memory of
those who are yet in middle life. The
old doctrinal style given to the clear.
logical exposition of the great doctrines
Of Scripture, if not a thing of the past.
has yet become a rarity. Nor can we
say that a return to the style familiar
to our fathers is in all respects desira-
bic. But it is a fair question whether
this reaction has not gone much too
far. This treatment of topics-some
of them highly religious and some not
religious at all-handled with more or
less eloquence, and of more or less in
terest to the average congregation, has
found too wide a CUSTOM and that to
the cost of the old gospel After all
this great variety of pulpit divertisa-
ments, that which a sinful man needs
to be told-whether he wants to be
told it is another matter-is how he
can get his sins forgiven, by whom.
and in what way the forgiveness was
made possible But while this is the
great need-the presentation of the gos-
pei of the cross-it is beyond contradic-
tion that we hear much less of it than
in former years: much less of that
sharp urgency upon the conscience,
under stress of which the sinner is
driven TO his knees, crying, God be
merciful to mel"
ITO relieve the church in any meas
ure of its responsibility as a business
system independent in a sense of it's
higher meaning, would be to do the

suits. Ammonia is very useful to take
| off the dust from all clothing; a gown
can be kept comparatively free from
dust by every few days treating it TO
a thorough brushing with a. whisk-
broom that has been dipped in am
monia and water; this is also help
toward keeping moths away from
clothing. Benzine and naphtha are
good for removing spots of grease; and
benzine is especially good for paint
spots. Care should be taken not to
rub the garment too much after it is
applied, however, as it will leave a
ring. Alcohol is good for taking the
shine from ribbon or silk; it will also
do the same for woolens, but as they
are apt to receive harder wear the rem
edy must be often repeated.
Jets can be mended with black seal
ing wax, but it is one of the tasks IN
which all the fingers turn to thumbs,
and in this day of cheap ornaments
most women will think it scarcely
worth the bother or time. Rhinestones
can generally be slipped back into their
settings and easily secured, as the
metal in which they are mounted is
very soft. Steel is hopeless for the
amateur, and should be sent to a pol
Usher.
Flowers are rather hopeless things to
freshen, and if Taded they are beyond
recovery; but if only crushed they can
be gently pinched and coaxed into some
resemblance of their former shape,
that will probably pass muster for the
few remaining weeks they are required
to render service. The edges, if frayed,
can be clipped and trimmed with
very sharp pair of scissors, while the
bits of wire which vein the backs OF
the leaves can either be pressed back
to their original places or shipped OH
entirely Old flowers are best for the
little clusters to tuck away under the
brim of a hat.
Chiffon can be made to look like new
by being carefully steamed, but it must
first be very evenly pinned upon box
lid, length by length, to get the desired
result. 1t takes time to pin and un-
pin and pin again, but unless this Is
done the edge will be wavy and un-
even. If it is to be used in a way that
the edge will not show, then quicker
method to accomplish the result is to
hold it stretched tightly between the
hands. Crepe is even more satisfac-
tory when renovated in this manner,
the steam giving it the stiffness Of new
material, and also taking out all the
dirt and dust. A veil carefully done
in this way will leave nothing to be
desired Velvet to be we'll steamed
must be done by two persons, one to
hold it we'll and firmly over the steam.
while the. other brushes vigorously the
way of the nap with a whisk-broom.
Don't be afraid to brush too hard, for
the object is to raise the pile which
has been fiattened by use.
