As Kipling Saw It.

In that racy journal Of travel, From
Sea to Sea" Rudyard Kipling describes
the Mormon temple at Salt Lake city.
He says; up to date rather more
than three and half million dollars
have been expended in its granite bulk.
The walls are ten feet thick; the edi-
flee itself is about hundred feet high I;
and its towers will be nearly two hun
dred. And that is all there is of it un-
lie IS you choose to inspect more close
ly; always reading the book of Nor
mon as you walk. Then the wondrous
puerility, of what l suppose we must
call the design, becomes apparent.
These men, directly inspired from on
high, heaped stone on stone and pillar
on pillar without either achieving
dignity, relief or interest. There is,
over the main door, some pitiful
scratching in stone representing the
all-seeing eye, the Masonic grip, the
sun, moon and stars and perhaps other
skittles. The flatness and meanness Of
the thing almost makes you weep when
you look at the magnificent granite
in blocks S rewn abroad, and think Of
Che art three million dollars might
have called in to the aid of the church.
1t is as though child had said: Let
us draw great big fine house-finer
than any house that ever was, and
in that desire had laboriously smudged
along with ruler and pencil, piling
meaningless straight lines on compass
drawn curves, with his tongue follow
ing every movement OF the inept hand
Then sat | down on wheelbarrow
and read the book of Mormon, and be-
hold the spirit of the book was the
spirit Of the stone before me. The es-
Unable Joseph and Hyrum Smith
struggling to create a new Bible, when
they knew nothing Of the history Of
Old and New Testament, and the in
spired architect muddling with his
bricks-they were brothers.
The Mormon Bible begins with the
days of Zedekiah, king Of Judah, and
ends in wild and weltering quagmire
of tribal fights, bits of revelation, and
wholesale cribs from the Bible. Very
sincerely did sympathize with the
inspired brothers as / waded through
their joint production. As q humble
fellow-worker in the field of fiction, L

have been; and bolder men to boot.
They created Teancum and Coriantu-
my, Pahoran, Kishkumen, and Gadian-
ton, and other priceless names which
the memory does not hold; but of
geography they wisely steered clear,
and were astutely vague as to the
localities of places, because you see
they were by no means certain what
lay in the next county to their own.
They marched and counterma1 ched
blood-thirsty armies across their pages ;
added new and amazing chapters to the
records of the New Testament, and re-
organized the heavens and the earth as
it is always lawful to do in print. But
they could not achieve style, and it
foolish of them to let into their weird
Mosaic pieces of the genuine Bible
whenever the laboring pen dropped
its toilsome parody to sentence or
two Of vile, bad English or downright
penny dreadfulism.' And Moses said
unto the children of Israel: "Great
Scott what air you doing?"' There
is no sentence in the book of Mormon
word for word like the foregoing; but
the general tone is not widely differ
ent."

Last Nights Sermon at

Rev w. m. kincaid DIscourses or
THE Prophets CT the WORLDS

AT the Central Union Church last
evening Rev. w. NJ. Kincaid preached
the concluding sermon OF his series on
The Prophets of the Worlds Great
Religions" The subject was Jesus.
the Light of the World" and the text
John SIP, Then spake Jesus again
unto them saying. 1 am the light of
the world"
Jesus Christ came into the world
during an era of intense wakefulncss.
Many of the dynasties of Asia had al
ready tottered TO their fall. and the
grandeur of Rome was about at it's
height. The great Julius had been as
sassinated only a few years before. and
Augustus, the patron of arts, ruled the
world. 1t was a time of the broaden
ing of mems ideas and beliefs. At that
time the classic Jewish tongue was
tainted with other dialects; Greek was
the language of the scholar. and Latin
of the political world. 1t was a time
when it was fortunate to be born, when
the tides of humanity ran high.
The religion of Jesus of Nazareth.
as it centered about him, is today the
least changed. The gods of other coun-
tries, of India, Mesopotamia. have been
ever increasing or dissolving. Out of
Jesus has grown a faith in the God of
Jesus of Nazareth that is constant and
unchanging. He was born of low es-
tate in a small city. We hear of Him
as He gathers His disciples, as He per-
forms His wondrous miracles. as He
appears before the priesthood and at
tempts to purge the temple. And we
see the closing act in the great dramas
as He is led forth to die upon the
cross
Time and history are stern judges.
but before these tribunals Jesus of
Nazareth stands forth as the Light of
the World. He is necessary to poetry.
to history and philosophy. Do we pity
the sufferer, help the poor and needy.
liberate the slave and say that no man
shall serve against his will? We do
it in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
But the church has strayed into the
wilderness of ceremony. The wander
ings are not over yet. Factions and
differences raise their heads where
there should be universal brotherhoo pod.
But one of the most hopeful signs of
the dying days of the Nineteenth Cen
fury is the desire that the church re-
turn from it's wanderings to the beau
tiful, simple ideal of Christ. For Je-
sus of Nazareth this world has greater
need today than words of mine can
express. In this Nineteenth Century
of thought and criticism He stands
forth the fairest of the fair, the bright
est of the bright, the divinest of the
divine. And Jesus said, Il am the
Light of the World,'"

Many times while l was an active
worker in the w. c. L. u, and was
urging men to give up drinking,

to coffee.
Many times / would determine to
give it up, but it had such mastery
over me that / became sick and dis
tressed and would return to it, which

spells at the stomach, dizziness in the

About six months ago L began to use

dizziness, and feel as cheerful and
calm as a good Christian ought to
feel. am greatly improved in health
and am growing stout
am so delighted with the Postum
that l recommend it to everyone who
comes to our table and some who do
not. A short time ago relative Wis
ting us from Columbia, Ga, was
served with a nice hot cup at break
fast, without being told that it was n
Postum Food Coffee. After breakfast
| asked him how he liked our coffee
He said he liked it better than any
cup of coffee he had ever drank, for it
bad little peculiar taste that fitted
his palate perfectly. He wanted to
know what brand we used and told
him il was Postum Food Coffee, no
berry coffee at all. He could not be
persuaded that was not teasing him
until got the package and showed
him all about it. He bought quite a
little to take home to his family.
You may depend upon it that the
cup he had was well made and | am
very particular to know that Postum
is boiled, for that is thing that coffee
users have to learn. They cannot
make Postum by a little simmering,
as thew formerly made coffee. You
can always tell whether it has been
boiled long enough by the taste If it
is rich, strong and good, it has had
boiling enough to bring the taste out.
If it is not, it had only been on the
stove short time.
NV next door neighbor, Mrs. Sweet,
had to give up coffee and is now using
Postum. She and all her family are
delighted with it. The family of Rev.
MIR. Cassadant. at New Ringforg. Pa,
have abandoned coffee and tea entire
" at their table and use Postum and

A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and Erectual
Cure for 1t.

L
Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
| been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
| full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied with sour or watery ris-
ings, a formation of gases causing u
pressure on the heart and lungs, and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often q foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen
it would show Shiny, intiamed con-
dition.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate troI ble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has has time to ferment and irritate
| the delicate mucous surface of the
stomach. To secure prompt and
| healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal diges-
ton is secured the catarrhal conditions
will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the
| safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
diastase, aseptic, pepsin, a little nux.

tablets can now be found at all drug

is a local condition resulting from
a neglected cold in the head,
whereby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes inllamed, and the pois-
onous discharge therefrom passing
| backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing cattarrh of
the stomach. Medical authorities

Capt. Eastman, on Sick Furlough. Visiting
Folks at Toulon.
Capt. F. F. Eastman of the 18th
regular infantry. stationed at Manila,
passed through the city today enroute
for his home at Toulon- He was
taken sick in the Philippines and was
allowed to come home to recuperate.
He sailed for America April 5.
Capt. Eastman says that while the
boys in the far away islands are un-
easy and anxious to get back into civ
ilization again as soon as possible,
they are content to remain in the
struggle until peace is established.
He says it is a disagreeable country,
and the wonder is to him how the
American boys have stood it as long
as they have.
