the POINT IN VIEW.

The speech delivered BY Mr. Lands,
OF Indiana. in the House Of Represen-
tatlves. during the debate on the ques-
ton OF the exclusion or expulsion OF
the member from Utah. contained a
number Of ISLANDERS against the Nor
mon people, which have been repro
duced in this paper for the purpose Of
showing their bitterness and injustice.
They were all endorsed by the Salt
Lake Tribune with the exception Of the
personal attack on Mr.. Alma Eldredge.
That endorsement is repeated.
That Is the point which we made
clear to the people OF Utah. Il greatly
disturbs our contemporary, and with
its usual tactics II endeavors TO turn
aside the sharp projection by asking a
number Of irrelevant questions Of the
Deseret News. We are not to be d.
verted from the issue by that means.
The thing to be kept In view is the vile
assault made by Mr.. lands and its
endorsement by the Tribune. That is
all there Is to that matter.
Again. In the columns Of the same
paper. there appeared false and sour
rilous charge against certain contrac-
tors and the Presiding Bishops Office in
this city. The falsehood OF the charge
was demonstrated. but the writer Of the
anonymous communication instead OF
acknowledging It's error, resorts to the
same equlvocatlon and cunning OF the
paper that printed the SANDER, and
asks a number OF questions that have
no bearing upon the original untruth.
II does not take wise person to manu-
facture queries. The News" does not
undertake TO answer every person ac-
cordlng TO his folly, who hides behind
newspaper.
The endorsement Of batch Of sland-
ers against the people Of Utah, and the
publication OF other falsehoods against
the Mormon Church, indicate the dis
position and spirit OF a contemporary
that tries to pose as a friend TO the
"Mormons That should be distinctly
understood. and that is all We have TO
say In regard to the subject. 1t is
enough.

benefit. not the injury, OF our fellow

Our public speakers should endeayor
to present the doctrines and teachings
Of the Church In the spirit In which
they have been revealed, to expound
to reason, to testify rather than to at
tack And when It appears to be nee
essary to revert to the errors, yagaries
and evils Of modern christendom great
care should be observed not to indulge
In n spirit Of sarcasm or the use

Spirit Of God. for the benefit enlighten-
ment and salvation Of all who listen.
This is according to the instructions
given by the leaders OF the Church and
to the revelations OF the Lord to the
Latter.day Saints.

THE PASSOVER.

An esteemed correspondent asks the
News" to express an opinion on the
question whether our Savior actually
celebrated the passover OF the Mosaic
dispensa,lon, shortly before His crucl-
fixon, or not. According TO Luke Il APP
pears that the disciples prepared the
passover and that II was eaten in the
regular manner. on the other hand.
according to John the day Of cruclfxion
was the day Of preparation. for It Is
expressly stated that the priests did not
enter the palace, that they might not
be defiled but be ready to eat the pass
over
The question is one that has perplexed
commentators a great DEAL Some have
held that Christ did not eat the pass
over but a common meal 10 which,
however, He gave a peculiar religious
significance, on account Of His APP
preaching death. Others have thought
that II was the regular passover, al
though celebrated the day before the
general Observance,
The best solution Of the difficulty may
be found In the Jewish calendar at that
time. The Jews calculated their months
from rather imperfect tables and from
the appearance OF the new moons AT
Jerusalem a regular assembly was held
for the purpose Of determining the be-
ginning OF the month. and subordinate
assemblies were held In other places. At
the time the appearance Of the new
moon was expected persons were sent
out TO watch, and as soon as any Of
these reported they had seen Il, mes
sages were sent throughout the land
TO make the fact known. II Is claimed
that this mode OF keeping record
sometimes caused a discrepancy be-
tween the Jerusalem council and the
rural population. as TO the true begin
ming Of the first Of the month Nlsan, IN
which the passover was celebrated.

VENTILATED!

There have been many complaints
concerning the ventilation OF the
Tabernacle in this city during the SER
vices held on Sunday. Sometimes the
atmosphere Is so dense that people
have difficulty In keeping awake. Then.
when the windows are let down, they
are often dropped 50 low that people
catch cold because OF the draught.
Frequently they are opened on the
windward side while the other side is
kept closed. II is remarked that the
building should be thoroughly aired be-
fore the congregation assemblies and
after It Is dispersed. 30 that all the ac-
cumulations, both from the closing OF
the building for many days and the
exhaiations during meeting, may be
thoroughly dispersed. We make these
public remarks because OF the
many expressions OF different
persons on this subject, ana
that they may know that we
agree with their opinions. The subject
Of ventilation Of public buildings de-
serves great deal more attention than
liz usually given to IL. Give us fresh

decisive, for It referred them to their

established that In our own age, signs
and wonders are performed by faith,

the Priesthood has power TO do the
same by faith. The world is sometimes
made to testify to the truth as set forth
by the Church.
