Before the oxford university extern
sion delegates the Right Hon. Robert
Henry Asquth has Just made a sweep
ing plea for "purer English" It is a
plea made every now and then but It
is hard to say whether It finds any re-
Spouse or produces any appreciable re-
suits. II would be a pretty hard mat
ter for those who are making demands
for ''purer English" to define Just what
they mean by the term. The English
Of Chaucer's time is not that of the
famed Ellzabethan period. nor Is that
Of her day the English Of the day of
Addison and Pope and Swift, nor is the
English OF these latter that Of Johnson
and Gibbon, while theirs is not that OF
Carlyle and Emerson, Arnold and
Newman. Does not this demand for
''purer English" really mean demand
for a more careful and better style, the
foundation for which must be close
and clear thinking? There is no eoun-
try in the world where all writers have
such style as they do in France and
there no plea Is made for "purer
French" And This doubtless Is so be-
cause they have the style Let all
writer's Of English get style and the
"purer English" will follow.

A SIGN OF OUR TIME.

The News" Is In receipt Of clippings
from two English newspapers both OF
which are devoted TO the beliefs ana
practices Of the Latter-day Saints one
Is The Hertfordshire Standard, and the
other is The Advertiser and Times.
They are both noteworthy on account OF
the evident fairness with which the re-
porters treat the subject.
There is a marked change In this direc-
ton. There are some inyeterate enc
niles, as incapable Of forgetting the
past as OF following the steady march
of progress, who still tramp with weary
tread the old, squeaklng mill Of yilifica-
tion and abuse. but intelligent men and
women everywhere commence 10 real
ize that "Mormonlsm" commands at
tention for what 1t Is, and for what 1t
Is accomplishing And the honorable
men and women do not hesitate TO say
50.
Only the other day visitor to this
city, in a public address, admitted that,
previous TO his arrival In Utah, he had
an idea that "Mormonism' was a mon
strosity, and that its adherents--to use
his own words-were upnosed, red
headed, freckled, and manned speci-
mems OF humanity, He had found,
however, the exact opposite OF this. He
had met intelligence, llberallty, happi-
ness, contentment and hospitality ana
he assured his hearers that In the fu-
ture. he, for one. would say nnthlng
but good OF the people here. This dis
position, to treat "Mormonslm" In a
fair and Christian spirit is quite
marked at present.
The Latter-day Saints rightly see in
this sign auguring well for the flu
ture. Our Lord on one occasion was
notified that certain strangers desired
TO be introduced TO Him. To the ordin-
airy eye there was not much slgni6-
canoe In that incident. but 20 the Mas
itl ~ NdH ulhtltnls ~ I'm tndt III
itself trivial occurrence suggested that,
"The hour is come. that the Son OF
man should be glorified," for He saw,
undoubtedly. in these strangers. or
Greeks as they are called, the repre-
sentatives OF the world outside Juda-
ism, and in their desire for instruction
the beginning Of worldwide dominion
of the Gospel OF love, peace and right
eousness.
The desire OF so many at the pres
ent time, to interview our Elders
abroad, or TO come to the mountain val
leys to see Cor themselves the fruits OF
the Gospel, may appear to many as in
significant events, but II the signs OF
the time are read correctly. they indl-
cate that the hour is coming, In which
He, whom the Prophet Joseph and his
successors proclaimed, shall be univer-
sally acknowledged among all nations,
kndreds and tongues.

A distressing story comes from New

When she reached New York she was

and wealth in store In the new world.

lowed. When the unfortunate woman
was taken to the dock she was a men

former self The officials insisted on
putting her on the ship. The physician
said she would undoubtedly die on the
voyage. A great wrong has been done

friends who deserted her. II was they
