do they visit disgrace upon innocent
children? Why do men forget that fire
burns. Jealousy is the wrath Of man
and the. wrath of the wronged husband
IS the vengeance Of the Almighty
Where Reason Disappears.
"a man may boast of self control.
but when the iron enters his own soul
the gifts of reason and meditation dis
appear. Jealousy is the instrument
that God has given to man with which
! TO defend his home, for il comes with
his life. Did you ever stop to think
that in the plan of the Almighty the
male is the protector? In the male re-
sides the instinct of protection which
IS as deep rooted in the animal as in
the human being A mother has the
instinct to save her brood: she viii
dash into the fore; she will plunge
into the water 10 protect it. The lion
may take no notice Of the cubs that
are playing around, but let DANGER an
pear, and his instinct of protection
arises God has given the instinct to
man and to beast. You cannot wine
out by legislation this which has been
implanted in man and beast by the
Almighty.
To the glory Of Utah it has been
put into the statutes of the state: I say
all honor to Utah; il is the only state
IN the Union brave enough to write on
its statutes what God has written upoD
the hearts Of men. They say it is a relic
OF barbarian; the county ATTORNEY. has
declared so in open court. but in the
dawn Of the twentieth century it is not
the first time that a young man has
risen up and declared that the princi-
good.
Salvation came with John out of the
wilderness; it is repeated by the rust
ing CT the leaves as they descend from
the trees by the force of the breezes
and enter into mother earth to undergo
chemical decomposition and be utilized
thousands Of years hence in another
form; It is on the highest mountain
peaks where God has written his will
with pen Of fire. it is heard in the
cascades that dash their waters TO the
river bed hundreds of feet below: il
resounds throughout the forest when
the winds sing through the pines. and
1t IS heard amid the roar and majesty
of Niagara.
out Of the wilderness came John
and out Of the wilderness came the
statute at the time when the men of
Utah were little nearer to God than
they are now. Is il a relic Of barbar-
ism? Read your Bibles; there yiu win
ma the Mosaic law deereeing that all
adulterers be stoned 10 death. When
Christ came he said of the wonFen
taken in adultery: Let him that is
without sin cast the first stone To
my friends on the other side / com
memo IL when they consider this erring
woman.
Glory of Woman.
IF it be a relic of barbarisn. then
We are barbarians. The act itself is
impelled by the enormity of the seduc-
CT crime. 1t IS terrible thing to take
human life which is given to man by
Almighty God. But what is life without
home, without the glory of woman.
Man has the stronger will of the two.
there IS no time when q man approach
es his neighbor's wife that he cannot
put his foot down and say 1 will 60 no

The seducer's crime is greater than
murder; It bots out souls: il violates
ple rules Of society. Time may assuage
the grief OF the widow and the orphans.
but adultery sears like a white hot
brand, and leaves its burn forever. The
seed SOwn by the libertine perpetuates
itself through the recurring seasons
The home destroyed by the seducer mas
been blotted out; the saducer knows
his art; the art of flattery; he s.ou-s the
seed Of suspicion; he wars against So
ciety; he strikes at the laws of the
commonwealth; ne strikes at the hearf
of the M tion.
Who Is the more to be feared the
man VINO strikes a dangerous blow at
the nag and arOuees the whole nation
or the man who assaults the citadel of
virtue! 1t IS not murder by the hus-
