WISDOM IN ALL THINGS

II is one Of the doctrines OF the
Church OF Jesus Christ Of Latter-uay
Saints that the sick may be healed by
faith. This has been frequently eA-
planned. It has been declared BY reVela-
ton in the nineteenth century was the
doctrine Of the Church in the first CEN
fury. and was taught by the Lord Jesus
Christ Himself when He minlstered on
earth in the flesh
II has been customary with SICK
members Of the Church to "call for the
Elders" to anoint them with oil and
lay hands upon them, and there are
scores OF thousands Of testimonies TO
the fulflment OF the divine promise
that the prayer Of faith shall save the
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up"
OF course, there are Instances when, be-
cause Of the lack Of faith, the afflicted
are not healed. The Deseret News has
repeatedly advised the aid Of skilled
physicians and surgeons when medical
services are needed, instead Of resorting
to incompetent persons and quack rem
edles.
In times Of epidemios. real or Official
~ asserted. the laws require the obse-
vance Of quarantine regulations These
should be strictly compiled with by
those who are under quarantine. and
also by their friends. No one has the
right 20 break through them and en-
danger the public health by carrying
infection. Great caution should there
fore be exercised by the sick and their
friends under such circumstances and
they should not do anything liable TO
spread disease.
Elders ought not to be called upon TO
go TO guaranteed houses, unless official
permission can be obtained, and they
disInfect their persons and clothing ar
ter such visits. Notwithstanding the
foolish and dangerous official declara-
ton that no persons are liable TO carry
disease to others "unless they them
selves have first contracted IT," common
sense and experience have established
the contrary. We therefore give this
word Of cautions Particularly. public
men, who mix with people In business
or otherwise, should be excused from
waiting upon the sick in houses that
are Guaranteed. Not because they
should or would shrink from performing
a sacred duty, but in order to comply
with the law and out OF regard for the
public health.
We know that as a rule, the Elders
are fearless in their ministratlons 10
the sick, no matter what may be the
nature OF their diseases. But wisdom
cries aloud 10 her children" and prud-
ence should be observed in all things.
There ought to be some one, and Is in
almost every family OF the Saints. who
can perform the ordinance for the sick.
And II should be remembered that Il Is
not the man who heals, no matter what
office In the Priesthood he holds, but il
Is the Lord who answers "the prayer OF
faith" and It is by faith that the sick
are healed. A word to the wise ought
TO be sufficient.

4 A ONE MAN POWER.

According TO an opinion rendered by
the State Encouragement and the at
utude Of the secretary OF the State
board Of health, Utah is now under the
domination Of one individual who has
been exercising autocratlc powers and
evidently Intends to WELD them at his
own sweet will. OF course an "opin.
Ion" is only an opinion unless II comes
from a court after a trial, when Il
amounts 10 decision, and Is the law
until superseded by another judicial
opinion OF last guess" as II Is de-
signated by some members OF
the bar. But public officers are general
ly guided by the opinions Of the State
attorney, so We may look Tor action in
the line hitherto pursued until some
efectual remedy is found.
The one man power, assumed by the
secretary Of the State board Of health.
Is such as ought not to be exercised by
any one individual, however cautious
prudent and Discreet. But when vested
in cranky person who issues DEGREES
without sense, and gives directions that
are the scorn and dersion Of expert
eneed physicians as well as the general
public, such despotlsm becomes not only
insufferable, but menace 70 the public
welfare.
The attorney-generars opinion is
based upon section 10gS Of the Revised
Statutes OF Utah, which confers upon
the state board Of health, authority TO
make such rules and regulations. not
contrary to law, as may be deemed
necessary for the preservation Of the
public health The same section makes
the powers Of the State board "co-or-
dlnate with every local board" But a

JOSEPH THE PROPHET.

Tomorrow. Dec, %, the Latter-day
Saints will remember with gratitude
the s5th anniversary Of the birth OF
Joseph the Prophet. They reverence
the martyred servant Of the Lord, as
the instrument through whom they
have received light and truth peace
and JOY and a hope that, like the links
on the pillars OF the ancient Temple,
reach beyond the veil and place them
in communication with the glory Of
God resting on the mercy seat in the
Holy Of Holes. They will think Of
him as the messenger through whom
they were offered both temporal and
eternal salvation. For with a great
many Of them, all they have and all
they are, they owe to the Gospel which
he was raised up to proclaim
The Prophet Joseph was one OF the
most remarkable men In this century.
one Of his great characteristics was his
faithfulness 10 the cause en-
trusted to him. In faith in God, and
love for his fellowmen he rose to
height attained by but few. And for
this reason he remained firm as a
rock, even when the storms OF adversely
ragged around hlm-when foes attacked
him with the fury of beasts, and
friends" forsook him, or plotted his
downfall. He gave his life for the cause
he had espoused, at a time when he
might have escaped martyrdom, And
thus IN his death, as we'll as in his life
and ms testimony, ne forcibly appeals
to the Saints Of the Most High, ad
monishlug them to remain true and
loyal to Christ their divine Master.
The recurrence OF the anniversary Of
his birth should remind the Saints Of
their duty to be faithful and true, as he
was, to the end They have accom-
pllshed much both at home and abroad,
but there is a still greater work to be
done. for which none but the humble
the pure. the loyal and the just are
it, There are blessings to be received
which can be given TO none but those
who keep the divine commandments,
Let the memory Of the martyred Pro-
phet inspire to greater efforts for all
that Is good and praiseworthy. That
is, after all the celebration most
worthy the memory Of a Prophet Of
God.

THE EVERLASTING GOD.

The Worcester Spy has a writer on
religious topics Mr. Frank L. Phalen,
who furnishes that paper weekly con.
tributons 10 It's editorial columns. In
a recent issue that writer in an article
on "The Ineffable Name" took occasion
to say that the name Of God stands
today for a very different conception Of
Deity from that which satisfied the pa,
triarch Abraham, or the law-giver Mo,
SEES"
The statement coming from an "or-
thodox" pen strikes us as exceedingly
interesting because the Latter-day
Saints have at various times been stig'
matized hy orthodoxy as heretcs ana
even blasphamers, for asserting that
the modern conception Of God is at
variance with the Bible doctrine.
Mr Phalen takes the view that the
Hebrew Jehovah was a "manlIke
Cod who "came down from the local
and nearby heaven 20 visit his favo-
rites or 10 see how things were going
on" but that this view OF God. science
and the revelations Of history have rem

heavens and the old earth, with
the old ideas Of gods and
demons have passed away"

and here Is where tie Inconsistency
comes In. Our Lord Himself was not
only governed by a most sublime faith
IN the God Of Abraham, Isaac and Ja'
cob, but He was the express image OF
that Hebrew Deity. The God OF the

God Of the Old. the Maker Of the heay-

ON RELIGIOUS TOPICS,
The outlook.

The war against vice In New York
city Is of interest 10 more than the
citizens of the metropolis. The condi-
lions which exist in New York exist IN
every great city; they are a natural
result of the unnatural herdlng togeth-
or Of so great a population in so small
a geographical area. Under the con-
ditions which exist in New York, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, In London, Paris and
Vienna. II is difficult to maintain good
physical sanitation; Il Is still more
difficult TO maintain good moral SANTA
ton. In such a campaign the moral
reformer must be equally careful
neither TO lower his ethical standards
nor to expect government to realize
them. In moral reform there are al
ways two forces to be invoked; that
of persuasion, acting on the individual
conscience. that OF law by penalty CO.
erclng the will. The second force must
not be asked to do the work of the
first, nor the first the work OF the sec
ond. Our first and paramount demand
Is that law be not permitted TO make
difficult II not impossible the work OF
Individual and social reform. We have
no right 10 ask that law shall prevent
all vice, but we have a right TO ask
that It prevent such encouragement OF
and such enticements TO vice as make
II supremely difficult TO perseyere In
the way Of virtue.

G. W, Cooke in the Boston Transcript.

The church 10 which a man belongs
does not show where you will and the
man when you come TO sound his own
inward convictions. The Catholic may
be more liberal than the Protestant,
and the Protestant more under author
fly than the Catholic. The Unitarian
may be more devout than the Ortho-
doX, and the Orthodox more OPEN
minded than the Unitarian. II can not
be otherwise IN a time like this, when
religious truths are undergoing a most
searching analysis and all assertions
Of faith are being called In question.
No sect can now keep its youth wholly
within its own enclosure so that none
but its own teachings and examples
shall reach them. More powerful than
heredity Is environment and the en-
vlronment OF every youth is now much
wider than his own church. He hears
from the platform and In conversation,
he reads in newspaper and book, he
sees In the conduct Of the best men
and women, that which contradicts his

dependence; and no church can shut It's
doors so closely as 10 keep within those
