In many lnqllrlng minds. After John
the Baptist had been specially raised up
az the forerunner Of the Messiah, ana
had testified repeatedly In public that
Jesus Of Nazareth was the Christ it Is
very improbable that he had any doubt
concerning the divine mission or the
Savior. That he died as he had lived,
true and valiant servant Of the Lord,
Is evident from the fact that he APP
peared IN this generation to Joseph
smith and oliver Cowdery, bearing the
keys Of the Aaronic Priesthood. which
he bestowed upon them Jesus also
bore witness TO the greatness OF Johns
prophetic mission and character as VIII

on FINAL AUTHORITY

The exchanges from ali parts OF me
I country tell OF watch meetings al the
dawn OF the century. by which those
interested ln religious work hoped to
awaken new life in the old churches
ana attract new members
At the same time, those intimately
acquainted with the religious condl-
tlons OF the masses find an Indifference
to religious "reylvals," which Is truly
remarkable. IN view Of the claims made
by the leaders Of various denomina-
lions
one Of the causes OF this Indifference
ls by an intelligent observer said TO be
the prevalence Of what Is known as
higher criticism. Among the masses.
who understand but imperfectly what
the question IN controversy Is, there Is
an impression that the Bible Is all
myth Pulpit orators In vain seek 70
prove their doctrines by the Scriptures.
quotations from holy writ do not have
much more effect than an appeal to
Northern. OF Greek. mythology would
have. In the minds Of many the name
of Jehovah excites no more reverence
than the name Of Thor or Jupiter The
teachings Of Jesus are held to be no
moro authoritative than those of Con-
fuclus or Socrates. There Is no author
ity. and the consequence is indifference
TO the pulpit teachings
Just as the break down Of Romanlsm
IN past centuries was followed By a
wave OF rationallsm, so the present on
slaught on the Bible has been accom-
panied by Il food Of inddellty. from
which no temporary revival" seems
to furnish a safe ark or refuge.
What the Christian world needs Is
the establishment OF divine authority
in an matters OF both faith ana prac-
tice. There must be a foundation more
firm and solid than either the dictum
Of men, or the disputed documents
handed down from ages Anything
short of divine revelation. such as was
always given to the children Of God
In the most critical periods Of their
history, must perish I'm the storms that
now rage around those who olive By
faith" When this fact is understood,
Il win be seen why the Almighty. In
the century Of higher criticism, raised
up Ills prophets TO speak 10 the world,
as lie dld formerly
And we are happy 10 learn that the
truth is slowly davning. even upon the
occupants OF pulpits a missionary
just returning from the East says an
intelligent clergyman, in a CONVERSE
ton. expressed himself 20 this effect;
"lf your people are morally clean. as
you state. they are bound 20 come out
on top. for wc are rotten And that
ls the key to the future. Mormonsm,"
represented by q clean people win pre-
vail. FOR that alone offers a safe
foundation for faith IN God, and In
man. when higher criticism shall have
undermined Professionalism, as this
shook Romanism 20 the very fouuda-
lions. when the authority OF councils,
popes and the Bible itself is disputed,
the authority OF the Lord sdll remains,
and TO that authority Mormonism'
appeals.
