PRAYER FOR THE DEAD.

The question OF prayers for the dead
seems 10 be coming to the front in some
parts OF the Protestant world. a
Baptist periodical quoted by the Lit
erary Digest. takes the view that the
departed ones are safe and blessed
and need not our prayers but that for
our own consolation, prayers may be
offered for them. In this connection
It quotes approylngly this prayer witt
ten by the late Mr. Gladstone
90 God. the God OF the spirits OF all
flesh in whose embrace all creatures
live. In whatsoever world or eondltloh

That reveals the position Of one Of

question. II shows that the ordinary

convey no certain knowledge OF the
state Of the departed. II indicates al
so the need OF human nature to feel
that the ties that bind hearts together
are not severed with death, Why
then is mankind so slow in turning 70
revelation for the light needed?
II no other principle were revealed
through the Prophet Joseph than that
by which the dead and living are Joined
together across the chasm Of death.
that alone would place him among the
foremost Of men Of God, Were there
no other doctrine Of "Mormonism' than
this. It would be perfect justification
for its existence. FOR by it a new light
has been shed on the world for which
the noble spirits Of the earth have been
praying. But there are other prnci-
piles as grand and as far-reaching as
the one relating TO the salvation Of the
dead. They have emanated from the
Eternal Source OF an truth.

AS SEEN by THE POPE.

On the 2lst OF April 1873, the present
head Of the Roman church Issued his
FIRST encycllcal. In that document he
described the condition OF the world, as
be found Il on a careful analysis OF the
situation. He said.
In these first days OF our pontfcaie.
we nnd ourselves iu face OF woes that
are Weighing down the whole human
race. They are the openly ayowed as
saults on FIRST truths. on which. as
foundation stones, the fabric OF human
society rests, and is held together the

through the pulses OF society, never

tent Of new ugheayals and Of woful

Il is almost a generation since that
pen picture was drawn. But there Is
not stroke in 81. not a shade, that
does not express the condition Of the
world today. as we'll as then. II Is from
such observations as these, made at
long intervals that the question wheth-
err mankind Is growing better or worse,
can be answered
The pontln, IN his encycllcal, ex-
pressed q as his view that the cause Of
these calanitles was to be found In
the fact that the'"holy authority OF the
church has been desplsed and rejected
Dlstasteful az this statement Is both TO
the worshi9er Of science and the guer-
lila theologian. e nevertheless embodies
the true principle that the kingdom Of
God has been placed upon earth in or
der to absorb. and degenerate" all So
cial and political conditions Though
not "of the world" It has for lts ultl-
mate aim to subject all power. all au-
thorlty, all glory TO the scepter Of the
Son Of God,
II Is the rejection Of this truth that
has made II possible Tor the adversary
to continue IN the midst OF ChrIstendom
a condition that Is foreign and inlmical
to the best interests OF mankind. But It
viii not always remain So For the
mountains have again been touched by
the glory Of the presence Of the Eternal
one. and His law Is being given forth
not IN trembling thunders and binding
flashes. but in the gentle cry Of
the Gospel messengers. clothed with the
authority OF the Priesthood That Is
the foundation Of the new era And
the time IS approaching when that glory
shall be seen TO the uttermost ends Of
the earth.

enumeration Is the fact that Hinduism

division. the figures on the Christian
side OF the ledger should appear sim
larger The fact remains that when
Catholics, Protesiants and 'other
Christians are all put in one class,
they number not quite five hundred
millions, TO somewhat over one thou
gand millions nom christians % and
among these the followers Of ancient
Asiatlc religions outnumber the largest
Christian body by over two hundred

A Novelty at the Exposition.

One Of the most novel exhibits at the
Paris exposition is complete set OF
bed hangings from Madagascar manu-
featured from the silk of the halabe.
The halabe is an enormous and fero-
cious female spider which, although II
has a way Of eating the males which
come near it and feeding on the weak
er members of It's own sex, has beer
most effectually dealt with by NJ.
Nogue, the head of the Antananarivo
technical school. He has invented a
neat arrangement for winding Off the
brilliant golden colored thread, and
each spider yields from 300 to 400
yards of silk which, although finer
than that Of the silkworm, possesses
remarkable strength.
