Explaining Aztec Traditions.

Deseret News (Salt Lake.)
 According to Aztec tradition, some Of the religious doctrines and practices were introduced by an early white-skinned teacher or apostle, who came by sea, bearing a cross in his hand and debarIed in the neighborhod of Tehuantepec. This stranger, whom they called "WiXipeco- cha" Is described as a man Of a venera- ble aspect, having a bushy white beard, dressed in a long robe and d cloak, and wearing on his head covering shaped like monks cowl. WiXipecocha taught his disciples to deny themselves the vani" ties of this world, to mortify the flesh through penance and fasting. and tu ab- stain from all sensual pleasures. The traditions relating to Quet2alcoatl are of similar nature. This stranger came to Mexico from a foreign land. He taught the unity of God, the Creator and Lord of Heaven and earth, condemned idolatry, and especially human sacrifices. Peace and charity were the cardinal virtues of his creed. From these few details of QuetzalcoatFs teaching the account says, "one is Induced to believe that all the evestfges Of Christianity of which we have spoken had their beginnings from him and his disciples, or colaborers, in the American mission" All this is a mystery to the historical student, and the expla- nation is offered that this continent was early visited by Welsh, Irish, or other missionaries, perhaps by the Apostle Thomas.
 To us the Book of Mormon seems to offer the most natural solution of the perplexing problem. If man first appear cd on this continent and made history here until interrupted by the deluge; if, after that, colonists from the eastern hemisphere settled here at different times and grew into mighty nations; if the Son of God appeared to his people here as he did in Palestine after his resurrec- tion,' there is no difficulty in accounting for the facts that puzzle scientists. And the probability Is that but for the mira culous circumstances attending the ap- pearance of the book-the world being slow to accept anything miraculous-its discovery would ere now have been pro- nounced an event of the greatest scientific importance.
