The Last Words OF IL Drunkarl.

Of the lectures Of j. j. Talbot, who

healthy. wholesome, and therefore at
tractivc. Her knowledge Of Mormon
ism is of the most superficial charac
ter. Her education in any direction
is slight She is in community
where plural marriages are regarded
as sacred. Her natural adherence
gives way before public opinion. Ev-
crybody believes it, can it then be so
bad? She sees plural wives living in
comfort, possibly in luxury. They
are received in society and welcomed
as the most advanced rcligionists.
Some man offers her home. To ac
cept will not hurt, but rather add to
her social standing. Love, of course,
as we understand il. is out Of the
question, aud rs to conscience. why
not do as others do? The conditions
Of affairs here convinccs her, and if
later on she has any regrets, and they
often do to my personal knowledge,
why she has taken the step and must
live her HE as best She can.
That is one instance Now for the
other
y young girl has Il profound rclig-
iDus nature She wants to 90 some
thing for the Lord. Even martyrdom
has its attractions. She would live
for heaven not for the earth She is
told that Christ is very soon coming
to the earth to reign, and that souls
are waiting in the other world to be
born into this, that they may take
part in that kingdom. She can assist
them in this noble object, and it is for
this reason that men marry many
wives. She may long for the love of
husband, for the exclusive right to
him. but duty should come before SELF
10 DC sealed to man, to rear family
is God S work, and she has been called
to it. She will have the gratitude Of
angels if she submits. So, from a
purely religious feeling she surrcn-
ders. Home? That is a secondary
consideration. Happiness? That is
another word for selfshness. Poor
creature she starts at the wrong end Of
natural law and reaps tears and sor
rows, but she does her duty and will
be blessed of God
There are other motives, some worse
than this, but none better 1t is indeed
martyrdom.

people can think along these lines,
but they do and they think honestly,
too.

The late Colonel Robert G. Ingcr-
soil, the famous skcptic, told many
stories Of experience which grew out
of the common knowledge Of his skcp-
ticism. One Of these related to a
visit which he once made to Rev.
Philips Brooks before Dr. Brooks be-
came bishop.
Calling on DR.. Brooks, he was re-
fused admission because, as the scrv-
ant said, it was sermon day. and
some of DR.. Brook own home people
had already been denied admission.
But DR.. Brooks learned that lngcrsoll
was at the door and sent out word
that he should come in.
After the interview, and as Colonel
ngcrsoll was about to leave, he said:
"Dr. Brooks, your man told me
that you had denied yourself to some
of your home people this morning.
Now, how is it that you have admitted
me, stranger
"Oh, that's lutte easy said DR..
Brooks, laughing. "Thcy are my
