HINTS ON rIrHISa.

II is important that the instructions
issued by the First Presidency and en-
dorsed by the Presiding Bishopric OF the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints concerning the payment OF uth-
ing, and the settlement OF accounts
should be understood and carried into
effect by all parties concerned.
The law of the Lord to all members or
the Church Is to the effect that they
shall pay into the hands Of the Bishops
ne-tenth Of their Interest annually. IL
Is expected that these payments shall
be made 'in kind" that is to say In the
kind Of the increase received by each
Individual. The tlthing on wheat should
be paid in wheat and so with the yarl-
Gus kinds OF products obtained by the
member. Wages or other income re-
ceived In cash should be paid In cash.
1t Is allowable, however. for persons
who raise produce OF any kind, when 1t
becomes more convenient for shipment
TO turn II into cash at the market prices
and pay the cash t:thing TO the Bishop.
One-tenth Of @ persons wages, or profits
on business. or net increase In products
Is the tlthing thereon.
All tithing accounts for the present
year must be closed by the end OF the
year. In order to effect this, payments
should be made as soon as possible so
that the books may be made up at the
proper date. Individual tithng credit
VIII be closed at the Presiding Bishops
office on Dec. 3lst. But in order to ac-
commodate Bishops who remit the cash
they receive during settlement, II will
be accepted from them ON the 1909 ac-
counts until JAN 9Th when final state
Inent will be rendered TO each Bishop.
The people should be duly notified
concerning the final date OF settlement
This can be done by the visiting Teach
ers and Priests, and the work OF settle
mont should not be delayed. Everybody
: rho can Dc 50 shess,,sss settle '8p'at opeee.
Individual tithipg paid after Dec. Sist,
viii have to be credited for the year
1903.
The Presiding BIshopric desire that
the Presldencles OF Stakes see that the
Bishops attend to their duties In these
matters. 30 that they may be prompt
In closing up the tthlng accounts at the
proper time. and thus the Presiding
Bishops Office may be able to close up
the general accounts, as required by the
Trustee inTrust. II Is suggested also
that the presiding officers OF the va
rious quorums urge this matter upon
all their members.
The Importance OF the payment Of
tithing should be pressed upon old and
young. for there are blessings both Of
a temporal and spiritual nature that are
predicated upon obedience TO this law.
And the necessity OF making the annual
settlement by the end of the year should
also be understood. both By officers and
members OF the Church, The Deseret
News takes pleasure in thus urging this
matter upon the attention Of the officers
and members Of the Church Of Jesus
Christ OF Latter-day Saints.

II Is matter Of faith and worship

being in that instrument, Is great mis-
take, for they are not 10 be FOUND
therein. 1t does not even declare
that there shall be no union OF ehurch
and state,as commonly supposed. There
ia such a provision In the Constitution
of the State Of Utah, II Is provided
In article |. Sec. 4. as follows:
1.-THE rights OF conscience shall never
be infrlnged. The state shall make no
law respecting an establishment OF re-
ligion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, no religious test shall be re-
oulred MS qualification for any ONCE
or public trust, or for any vote az any
election, nor shall any person be In
competent as witness or Juror on ac-
count OF religious belief or the absence
thereof There shall be no union OF
Church and state; nor shall any church
dominate the state or interfere with It's
functions. No public money or prop
erty shall be appropriated for or APP
piled to any religious worship exercise
or instruction, or for the support OF any
ecclesiastical establishment"
This, It viii be seen, Is far more ex-
plclt and extended than the provisions
concerning religious liberty In the ma
tlonal Constitution. Yet, as we have
observed. the spirit Of our republic ~
that OF religious liberty, and the fact
that no religious test can be applied az
a qualification for any office or public
trust under this government. is In the
nature Of guaranty OF perfect relig-
ions freedom so far as ofBce.holdlng

CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES

A great many people talk about the
provisions of the Constitution Of the
United States, without being acquaint-
ed with what the instrument contains.
Take. for instance. the frequent re-
marks about the constitutional guaran-
ties OF religious freedom. We often
hear expressions like these; "The
Constitution declares a man may be-
lleye what he pleases." "The Constl-
tuition gives every man the right to
worship God according TO the dictates
OF his own conscience" "The Consti-
tuition forbids any mans interference
with the religion OF his neighbor." Per
feet religious liberty Is demanded by the
Constitution OF the country, etc. etc"
The truth is that the Constitution Of
the United States makes only two ref
erences to the subject Of religion. The
first IS TO be found in Article VI par
agraph .. mo religious test shall ever
be required as a qualification to any
Office or public trust under the United
States" The other IS in article ! Of
the Amendments, and says: Congress
shall make no law respecting an estab-
lishment OF religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof"
II may be argued, perhaps, that allu-
sion Is made TO religious rights In ar
ticle XIV OF the Amendments; no
state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or
immuni,ies OF citizens Of the United
States" nor shall any state deprive any
person Of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law: nor deny
to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection Of the law"
These are the only clauses In that In.
strument which can be fairly constru.
ed as touching on the question Of re.
ligious liberty II Is the genius and
spirit Of cur Institutions that throw
around the citizen protection against
Intolerance. and preserve to him tha

sLAvoNIC MARRIAGES.

A contributor to the Chicago Tri-
bune thinks II Is only question of q
short time till this country becomes
Slavonic. In the sense that greater
number OF our citizens will be OF that
origin. lie quotes the chief clerk OF
the marriage license bureau to the
effect that soon "Preskowltz Ciesielski
will be mayor OF Chicago, and at some
distant date Jane Kamykowski will be
President Of the United States"
This prediction Is founded on the
marriage record. 1t is claimed that GER
tain streets where the foreigners live.
show more marriages in day than all
the rest OF Chicago can boast. In Slavic
communities this is particularly true.
There Cupid works rapidly. The Slavs
marry young. They have no fear OF
love In cottage, and can go to house,
Keeping on small income. The ques-
ton Is therefore one OF mathematics.
III" says the Chicago writer, twenty
five years ago. the marriage register
did not show any Slavic names, and II
more than third-some days nearly
half--of the licenses now are taken out
by Slavs. how long will II be until two
thirds Of the licenses bear Slavic names
and how long before nine-tenths? When
the number reaches two. thirds Presko-
witz Ciesielski stands an excellent
chance Of becoming mayor OF Chicago
and the prediction OF Clerk salmonson
VIII be realized"
The suggestions here made are rather
curious. But there is no danger. In
the second and third generation, the
Slayonic origin is completely hidden
under American culture. Even the
names are deprived OF their foreign
forms, and are modified to suit Amer-
can pronunciation. When they are
ready to take the government Offices,
they are no longer Slavs, but Ameri-
cans,
But the facts upon which the rea-
soning is founded are significant. They
show how much the country in reality
Is indebted to its foreign population.
The Chicago license clerk puts 1t this
way:
Take the marriage register and run
down the column giving the ages.
When you come to 20, q and % years
look over al the left-hand side and see
the name. IL II be not Slavic 1t will be
Swedish, German or Irish. Then look
for the ages above 40 and IS years.
When you find them. then look to the
left-hand side. The names will be Anglo
Saxon. OF course there are exceptions,
but the rule holds good"
He adds:
Zone need only to stand here at the
| marriage license window 20 see the
| proof OF the Slavic tendency. A look
at the marriage register viii show that
| One-third OF the licenses now are taken
out by men with Slavic names who are
| to wed women with Slavic names. II
| Is infrequently the case that a man
with Slavic name secures license to
marry woman with a German or Swe-
| dish name, or that German secures
| license TO marry O Slav."
Is there not In this the suggestion
that IL the high standard of this coun-
try Is to be Kept up, the foundation OF
families, and the safeguard Of families.
must be made to confirm to the laws OF
| God and nature, For only so can ma
tional health and vigor be maintained.
