is 1T POSSIBLE ?

Several correspondents want to know
something more concerning the alleged
calling back 10 life" Of a lady believed
TO be dead, through the prayers Of a
preacher in, Maine, particulars Of which
appeared in the Deseret News and other
papers a short time ago. They wish US
to say whether we believe God heard
and answered the prayers OF the person
mentioned as having exercised faith in
that case.
We know nothing more OF the matter
than that which was published as news.
We have no means Of determining the
truth or otherwise Of the story. We
gave the particulars as they were
furnished TO the press. Our readers
will have to weigh the evidence and
form their own conclusions.
when We publish the dispatches that
are sent to us in common with other
papers, we DO not vouch for their cor
rectness. Nor should we be expected to
declare an opinion concerning them.
On any public question that relates to
principles and TO the general welfare,
we have our views and take pleasure
In expressing them.
The probabilities OF the occurrence re-
ferred 10 are proper to consider. We
see no particular reason 70 dispute the
statements that have been made. II
Is certain that God is able to restore the
dead to life. II is equally sure that God
hears and answers the prayer Of
faith" We do not think that the ears
Of Deity are open solely 10 the mem
bers Of one particular religious body.
Faith is not confined to any specially
selected individuals. God is no re-
specter of persons" The Savior said
"All things are possible TO them that
believe"
In this particular instance the lady
may not have been actually deceased.
IL NAV have been case Of suspended
animation. But II she were indeed In
defunct condition, It is notf 1possble
that the earnest prayer ofsa devout
and sincere soul was effectual In her
behalf, end that she was restored
through faith exercised In power and
without doubt or wayering,
we are speaking OF the possibility OF
this alleged restoration. We do not
know enough OF the facts TO warrant
an opinion as to the actual occurrence.
II would require evidence to establish
conviction either one way or the other.
But that such things have been done In
the present age, as In past times we
have reasons TO believe that are sutil-
Client proof to us, and also We think
20 any unbiased rational mind. and we
therefore do not venture to dispute the
truth OF the statements published In the
case under consideration.
All mankind are the children OF the
Eternal Father, and the principle OF
faith IS a part OF their spiritual inheri-
ance as HIS sons anu daughters. They
can all come unto Him In sincere and
earnest prayer. and no matter what
may be their race or creed, He will re-
gard their devotion when they seek TO
serve Him as best they can. When the
testimony Of Divine manifestations Is
sufficient as trustworthy evidence we
are ready to accept It, no matter who
may have been the instruments or the
recipients of His loving Kindness or His
marvellous power with God all things
are possible"

four sides of the hall running from the
main floor well up to the roat- are
banked
Row After Row of Seats.
There is only one gallery which runs
the entire width of the hall at the rear.
The band will be located in the center
of the gallery.
Back of the stage and away from the
noise of the crowd are located num-
erous committee rooms. The telegraph
ic facilities are ample, the Western
Union and Postal telegraph companies
and the Associated Press having spec
ious rooms close to the stage, and
which are reached by tunnels under
the seats. There are nearly two hun
dred wires running into the hall.
The Exterior View
of the hall is beautiful. For months
the city forester and landscape gard
eners have been at work beautifying
the grounds surrounding the hall. The
building will be turned over to the
national committee this week.
The committee of citizens having
charge of the arrangements have raised
nearly $4,000 for the convention. One
hundred thousand of this amount was
tor the national committee and the re-
naming $4,000 is for the expenses Of
altering the hall. Mayor Ashbridge is
the chairman of the committee. Out of
the 10000 seats in the hall Philadelphia
will get 1000. The mayor will turn
the tickets over to a secret committee
of five persons to be diylaed pro rata

fund. Absolutely not one ticket will
be given to Philadelphia by this
committee who did not subscribe.
No committee has had harder task
than that assigned to the press COM
mittee, which practically
Finished Its LabOrs
the past week. 1t had five hundred
seats in the press section at it's dis
posal, which, under the agreement with
the national committee we've to be
awarded ''to newspaper men actually
doing work for the daily papers and
using the wires" More than 1000 ap-
pLcations were received and the work
OF cutting this number to nve hundred
with the least possible friction was
difficult. Those papers fortunate
enough to get seats will find their
quarters extremely pleasant There is
scarcely poor seat in the five hun

ing being the very best.
The busiest man for the next two
weeks will be Sergeant-at-Arms Wis
well, who has been here for a fort
night. His headquarters are located in
the old court house in Independence
Square. The quarters are crowded
with clerks, stenographers and type
writer's, and every one about the place
is hustling. The sergeant-at-arms is
now wrestling with the task of dis
tributing tickets. Everybody wants
one and most applicants want enough
for all their friends. Each delegate
will receive two tickets beside his own.
and each alternate will receive only
his own ticket. Each national com
mitteeman is to receive twenty-five
seats. Four thousand go to the city of
Philadelphia, and the remainder will
be distributed among invited guests of
the national committee. President Nc
Kinley will receive a certain number
for his private distribution.
The National Committee
will hold its first session in this city
on Wednesday, when every member is
expected to be present, with the exeep-
ton of Gen. James H. Wilson, of Della
ware, who is in Cuba At this meeting
the committee will go over the work
already done in preparation for the
convention and will smooth out the
little details. The organization of the
convention will in all likelihood, be
taken up and finally passed upon.
The greatest task assigned to the ma
tional committee will be the matter of
contests. With the exception of the
Eleventh Pennsylvania Congressional
district, every delegate to the conven-
ton in the United States has been
elected. The Eleventh Pennsylvania
will elect its two delegates at Scranton
tomorrow.
The social programme for convention
week will be about as complete as it
can. be made. All the Republican clubs
in the city had formed a general or
ganizatien and are working as unit.
