A NorAnLE EXPEDITION.

An exploring expedition. for the pur-
pose Of bringing TO light some Of the
antiquities Of this continent. was organ
lied some time ago under the dlrec-
ton OF Prof Benjamin Cluff Jr. presi-
dent Of the Brigham Young Academy at
Provo. Particulars concerning this OK
petition to South America are given In
another part Of this issue Of the
Deseret News, It Is expected that Inn
portant Developments viii result from
the explorations that win be made,
which will be Of a scientific character
Accompanying President Cluff VIII be
Professors Walter Wolfe and John
Fairbanks, also more than twenty
young students Of the academy They

Journey. and for the work TO be done
on arrival al the points OF destination.
They expect TO start on April nth, and
what they anticipate accomplishing Will
be learned from the article to which
We have here referred.
The Importance OF visit to the an
cient ruins scattered along through
Mexico. Central America and the north
ern part Of South America. will be
clearly perceived by the majority OF the
people OF Utah. We are OF the opinion
that It will be seen later on by the
scientific world The archaeological
treasures yet to be brought forth from
the regions where once fiourished strong
nations that have gone TO decay, and
which we hope will to a great extent
be unfolded through the efforts OF this
expedition, win prove OF immense
worth to the historian and the anti.

Of Mormon. That sacred volume is the
only existing authentic narration Of the
events which occurred on this con-
tnent among the progenltors OF the
American Indians. II gives particulars
Of cities and temples. and the works and
wars, the religion and customs, and
other details concerning the ancient
jewellers on this land. II Is reasonably
expected that much light will be thrown
upon those places and the relies Of the
people whose origin and history are
given In the Book OF Mormon. How
ever this may be, the expedition can
not fail TO be Of great profit 20 the

A contributor to the Arena thinks
there Is no reason why secular quea-
lions" should not be handled IN the pull
pit He asks:
why should all pulpit efforts be sole
~ directed along religious lines, and

and Biblical sublectsg

How can there be- loss IN the pregen-

"Who shall deny that many questions
/ OF a purely secular nature aud OK great

solution az the hands of the best
thought Of the land? Do not the pull
! pit and rs audience represent IN marked
degree this best thought
Then he replies by asserting that:
1.-THE church must undoubtedly lead
ne nock 10 right action upon all ques-
tons IN the diversified fields of human
endeavor; FOR In this way II is able TO
stamp he usefulness on the individual
life In n practical and helpful way be-
yond the ken Of the wisest Of his time
The trouble is that quite a number OF
clergymen do not understand questions
OF politics sufficiently to be able 10 dis
cuss them intelllsently. Another diff
Guilty Is that church-goers belong 10
widely different parties, and any at
tempt to discuss In the pulpit the ques-
tons that separate them, instead OF
leading 70 Cancellation and union,
would end in bad feelings and factions.
Occupants OF pulpits have 10 the
teachings OF the Master and inspired
men, a good pattern TO initiate When
they do this. they will teach and ex-
pound broad principles Of Christianity,
that are applicable to both private and
public life IN It's various ramihcations
and details. But they will leave the
application OF those principles to their
hearers.
It was In this way that the Gospel
overturned many Of the institutions OF
ancient Rome To illustrate: When It
found slavery among those institutions,
It did not commence by denounclng the
practice as barbarlsm But It laid
down the great truth Of the eternal
Fatherhood and OF universal brother
hood and when that was accepted,
slavery was doomed.
II that principle be carried out in
modern preaching, there Is no reason
why the pulpit should not touch upon
every question In which human beings
are interested The thing TO avCid Is
to make the minister a political ogl-
tstor. instead Of a proclalmer Of truth
and righteousness. But II Is difficult
FOR many to see the distinction and to
keep the pulpit clean.

Dr. McGiffert was placed In the POSI-

assembly and that with no possibility
that his position would be approved, or
that he could be continued in the min

could not be. Now he withdraws with
the result that he has maintained the
approval Of his own conscience, has
gratlfied his many friends. who do not

rnE SECOND DEATH.

A difference Of opinion Is entertained
by some Of our young people In a
country settlement, as TO the sgnldca-
ton Of the second death" spoken OF
In both former and latter-day reyela-
tons, and they ask the Deseret News
to explain II. Some Of them think II
means the dissolution Of the spirit Of
man as the penalty for deadly Sin;
others take the ground that the spirit
cannot die; and stlll others believe Il
means literal submersion IN "the lake OF
Ere"
There Is not very much In the revela-
tons OF the Lord given to the Church
concerning this subject, but there Is
sufficient to dlspel the weird ideas and
peculiar notions Of persons who specu-
late on Us meaning. The most direct
explanation that We now call TO mind
is TO be found in the Doctrine and Cove
nants. Sec 90 verse a:
