He PRAYER MEETING.
Commonplace Workers.

Commonplace things are the world 5
greatest treasures in the sphere of
mind and matter. Air and light and
heat and cold are commonplace helps
to human life, but none of US can get
along without them. They are worth
more than occasional meteors and au-
roras and eclipses and cyclones. even
though these attract more attention
for the time being. Common sense and
ordinary sympathy and average ability
do more for mankind than great talent
and surprising genius. \ hundred per-
sons can be reached and understood
and influenced by an average man
where one can feel in his heart the
power of a mighty mind. If we are
nothing more than common, let us
thank God that we can be Gods mes
sengers of love and help to the greater
mass of our fellows.-Sunday School

Gathering the guns and putting half
dozen cartridges that remained in
my pocket, we all left the fort that had
served US so well and started down the
declivity. Without the inspiration of
those bugle notes we could scarcely
have crawled away. Now we not only

The intent of religion is to help man
kind to the attainment of peaceful
and righteous life. 1t IS indeed to glo-
rify God, but by the elevation of hui
man life. 1t is intensely practical.
Whenever it becomes merely specula-
tive, dogmatic or ceremonial it is per-
verted from its highest meaning and
fails of its best results. The energy of
true religion is directed toward present
needs and opportunities. 1t is person
al and immediate. 1t is not simply be-
lieving something that is past and hop
ing for something In the future. but it
is also doing something now. The best
religion is that which makes the best
men and women.-Rev. Abram Conklin
in Universalist Leader.

MILLION ADDED
To CAPITAL STOCK
Action Taken by Sugar Com
pany Stockholders.
SALE OF THE NEW STOCK
SMALL MINORITY OPPOSED THE
INCREASE.

The Utah Sugar company now has a
capitalization OF SZ,0oo,OO0, and an ex-
ira S50e,O Of new stock win be put
upon the market at once. At the stock
holders meeting at which this change
was brought about IA the TempIeton
building yesterday evening, 5000 Of
the 5000 shares OF the old stock We're
represented, and the motion to increase
the capital stock from $1,000 600 to 81
100000 was carried almost unanimously.
The motion to- authorize the board Of
directors to sell at once $5e0.000 Of the
new stock was carried without a dis
senting voice.
The meeting was presided over by T.
r. Cutler, and II. G. Whitney acted as
favoring the increase Of the capital
stock by 81, 00e, 600. This was opposed
by some, as they thought it better to
organize a new company If the business
demanded it. These were greatly in
the minority and when the vote Was
taken on the motion to adopt the resO-
luton there were 50, 500 shares in favor
of il and less than 1000 shares opposed.
Z. $. Hills next offered a resolution
to the effect that the board Of directors
be authorized to sell at once $500.0 600
worth of the new stock to the holders
of the old stock at the par value OF SO
per share. This carried without OppO-
sitiOn. As to the time allowed for the
payment for the new stock il was de-
cided to nx July as the date for max
ing full payment Heber J. Grant
stated that this would be no hardship
on the old stockholders, because If they
did not have the money to pay for the
new stock their old stock would be
taken as collateral at any, Of the banks
for the amount required. And il any
of the old stockholders concluded not
to take the new stock they would be
entitled to q profit of $5.25 on every
share they held for letting some one
else have the privilege of taking the
new stock The old stock sold recently
as high as S19 per share.
