TOLsTOi IMPATIENT.

Count Tolstoi Is said to have written
an article lately In which he has prac-
tlcally pronounced as vain the creed of
self-renunciation which he himself has
preached and practlced so long. The
reason given Is. that no good has been
accomplished by II. No Improvement
has been made In the condition Of the
poor by his sacrlfice--no softening of
the hearts Of the rich has come about.
1t all goes on--the old cruel system of
greed and rapine, Of ignorance and
waste. There Is no salvation for the
world through renunclatlon.
That is to say, Tolstoi, II this notice
OF him is correct, has virtually come to
the conclusion that his way OF saliva
ton Is too slow.
Tolstol has many friends and admir-
ers, even II not many sincere followers.
The problem of his life seems to have
been the solution Of the question how
to eradicate from mankind that which
is evil. He has searched far and wide
for remedy; he has thought and
prayed earnestly, and wrested. as II
were, with God for light on that sub
ject.
Tolstoi has grasped the great princl-
pie Of non resistance to evil, az the true
remedy against II. Looking around the
world he finds that all the methods en-
ployed In the battle against evil, only
serve to aggrayate it. 1t is like cutting
the weeds, thereby making them grow
more luxnrlsnt, instead Of pulling them
up by the roots The latter process, the
only rational one,he concelves TO be rec
commended by the Master, when He
teaches to render love for hatred; good
for evil; blessings for curses.
The human family Is evidently not
yet ready 60 receive this doctrine, al
though 1t has formed q part OF the
Christian system from the beginning.
But II should not be forgotten that We
are nearing the time, when that funda-
mental principle Of the Masters teach
ngs will be understood. Every new
year brings US nearer TO the triumph
OF truth over error, Count Tolstoi,
though not permitted TO see much fruit
Of his wOrk-speaklng from mere hu.
man point OF vlew-has nevertheless
done much toward bringing that truth
to the attention Of his fellowmen, and
that Is not vain
Count Tolstoi, himself. has found the
key to all true moral progress He
has seen clearly that that is question
OF Individual reform. and not CONVEX.
sions en- masse. AS he understands
this he should patiently wait for de-
velopments. A true reformer Is con-
tent with doing his work faithfully and
then leaving the results with Him, who
rules the fate Of the world In accord
ance with His divine plans and pur-
poses.

baptized up to that tlme--Aprll 8. 1880.
and others claim that several more
had received that ordinance and some
OF them were ordained. but they think
that this conflicts with the statement
that the Church was organized on that
date with six members
The explanation Is simple. Six per-
sons were necessary, under the laws Of
the State Of New York to form the
corporate body of the Church organiza-
ton. Six persons subscribed their
names to the legal document that had
to be filed. But several others had
been baptized previous to the date OF
the ecclesiastical organization, as may
be seen from Church history, and some
OF them were called and ordained 10 the
Priesthood, after Joseph and oliver
had been accepted as leading Elders
OF the Church, We hope this will set
tie the disputes,
Another question propounded from
the same quarter is:
Can the negro race receive the Holy
Ghost?
That may appear very simple to dis
cuss. but 1t seems that some OF the in
qulrers think that negroes may be
baptized in water but not by the Holy
Spirit. However, strange to say they
argue that such persons may be con-
nrmed members by the laying on Of
hands. but the Holy Ghost must not be
sealed upon them, and even quote
what they allege they heard President
Young say TO that effect
The answer is, certainly. The negro
race may be baptized and confirmed,
and the latter ceremony necessarily in
cludes the comforting Of the Holy Ghost
upon the baptized repentant believer
The difficulty has arisen from mis-
understanding Of the remarks said TO
have been made by President Young
He explained that while negroes could
become members of the Church and
enjoy its gifts and blessings, and be-
come heirs of salvation, they could not
hold the Priesthood ana It should not
be conferred upon then.
None Of that race are entitled to 1t
nor would 1t be Of benefit TO them II
they were ordained, as they are under
the ban pronounced by Noah upon
Canaan, the son OF Ham. and his de-
scendants. But that race may receive
the blessings of salvation, and have the
testimony Of Jesus. and enter into the
Kingdom OF God, having been born Of
water and of the spirit They may
know that Jesus Is the Christ which
they cannot without the witness of the
Holy Ghost. The Saints In the early
Church of Christ were "all baptized
by one spirit into one body whether
they were Jew or Gentle, bond or free"
and all drank into zone spirit" 1t is
50 in the Church OF Christ today

SCHOOLS AND PARENTS.

The great interest taken In the con-
ventlon of the State teachers Is one Of
the signs that augur well for the efii-
cheney Of the educational system OF
Utah. A great variety of subjects was
presented at the various meetings, and
the attendance was large.
The general public naturally does not
care to enter into the details OF peda-
goglcai work, or follow It in its develop
ment. They are satisfied with the gem
eral results. and proud Of the schools
and classes over which the teachers
preside.
The school has become one Of the
most important Institutions OF Amer-
can civilization, and It follows that only
those should be employed as principals
and teachers who possess the greatest
ability. az well as highest wisdom and
unquestioned integrity, II Is, Of course,
not conceded yet, as one OF the en-
thusiastlc school teachers would have
II, that the home Is the preparation
for the school" The home Is yet the
principal corner stone Of the State, and
the teacher is as yet only the paid
help OF the parents. What may come
is another question. II is conceivable
that in course Of time the home" will
be an obsolete Institution, having given
way for the club. the Office and the
eating house. When such a time comes,
the unfortunate offspring may have to
look for some substitute for the home
and parental care. But as society at
present is constituted. the home is yet
supreme. Teachers, especially the
younger OF them, may feel their in
tcllectual superiority over parents, but
they will DO well not TO give the chill
dren entrusted TO their care the same
impression Let the school rather be
the auxiliary Of the home. Who ever
heard OF establishing homes as auxili-
aries Of the school?
One Of the great needs OF our time Is
the maintenance Of that parental au-
thority which is OF divine origin. The
tendency is to undermine It on all sides.
If the school Is conducted In the proper
spirit, it ais in instilllng into the
minds Of the children reverence, love
and obedience to parents, even more
than conformity to the more or less
arbitrary school rules. The teacher
that has not proper conceptions on this
matter is hardly fit for a place as
leader Of the children.

thoughtless rush to put money into

while the shadow OF the panic hung
over the land, and the very people who
during the former period would have

now tumbling over one another to pay

The financial reports OF the country
are telling now how the man who wor-
ships money is being smiled on by the
object Of his alteration. The dollar
worshlper seems to have the lead Of
everything else in almost every avenue
Of life that is recognized as bringing
pleasure; but there Is satisfaction to
those who refuse to bow down TO the
god Of gold in knowing that the wheels
Of time move relentlessly on In their
topping over Of base worshipers. There
are more and better things in the world
than come through an overweening
love Of money.
