ulation of nearly 100000, its liberal at
titude toward apostles of all strange
sects, and its central position, was by
long odds the most available center
from which the Mormon Church might
carry on its PROSECUTING operations.
The story of his first visit to Chicago
gives curious insight into the work
ings of the church of the Latter Day
Saints.
When Roberts first decided to enter
national politics he did so without con-
sulting the chief council of Mormon
elders. He ran for Congress and was
defeated by the votes of his own people.
This was not from any dislike of Mr.
Roberts himself or of his practices.
The Mormon Council at Salt Lake City
requires its elders to obtain permission
of the church before taking an active
part in politics. Roberts ignored the
rule of the church, and all the ecclesi-
astical machinery of that body was set
in motion against him. He was beaten
Ly his own party, and after that was
ct mpelled to make an AFFECT apology to
the president and the council. They
fixed his penance at years missionary
work In the interest of Mormonism.
He went to Chicago in the winter of
"a and '95 and preached for six months
and founded the main Mormon Church.

OF all sayings probably the most I'M
pressive are those of great rulers who
contrived to embody the profound con
fidence they felt that lifetime of com
mand was before them, in a few
weighty words. julius Caesars "Veni
vidi, vici," and his question to the
skipper who feared for the loss of his
boat, what dost thou fear, when Gaze
sar is on board?" are likely to be in
every ones mouth as long as the world
lasts. And SO. perhaps, is Napoleon

Perhaps the finest thing ever said
was Burke's answer TO Pitt, who de-
clared that England and the British
constitution were safe to the day OF
Judgment. st Is the day Of no judg-
ment am afraid of" but it is not GER
tain that Burke really meant to coz
vey all that the words do convey. Pos
sibly he meant it chiefly as sarcasm
on Pitts Judgment; but the larger
sense of the saying. in which it means
that 1t is not the day of divine Judg-
ment that is to be feared, so much as
the day when the reality of divine
judgment is hidden from men. and
human beings go on the frivolous, II
responsible pursuit Of their own wish
es. is quite worthy of Burke.

The descendant of New England
Puritan divine has in his possession an
old sermon written by his ancestor
which shows that the preacher did not
trust entirely to the impulse of the
moment when delivering his discourseG.
The manuscript is written in a
strange, Grabbed hand, and plentifully
besprinkled with marginal references.
Read slowly here the minister adj
monishes himself in one spot, and 'To
be given out very loud and clear" is
the suggestion for another passage.
Hurry little, with fire." he wrote in
several places.
The most emphatic and important
part of the whole sermon is indicated
by a northumberland marginal note.
After hearing stories Of this sanity
oldtime preacher, it is amusing to
know that he deemed it wise and even
necessary at the climax of his elo-
quence to yell like one possessed
