In the little village Of Rolnenden. in
England, lives Mrs. Barbara Moon,
who was present as a child at the bat

wears of age she distinctly remembers
being on the battlefield in baggage

father was a color sergeant in the
Third Battalion Rifle Brigade, and
she was born at Gibraltar in 1911.

READING AND UNDERSTANDING,

In response TO some questions con-
corning the future state Of mankind,
as disclosed IN the revelation called
the "vision," In Section 16 OF the Doc
trine and Covenants. the Desere, News
recently explained the progress that
would be made by the inhabitants OF
the different degrees OF glory, into
which they would be grouped after the
resurrection from the dead. Discus
sion had arisen as to whether that pro-
gress will be transition from one glory
10 another; that Is TO say, whether the
celestial viii advance into the terres-
trial and the terrestrial into the celes-
Hal glory. We have repeatedly ex-
planned this matter. and in our latest
remarks made this statement;
There viii be, no doubt. progress In
each kingdom of glory. but II the teles-
tiai and terrestrial kingdoms advance.
so will the celestial, and thus each will
be progressing on its own lines and
the lower will rot reach the higher"
The advancement OF those who In
herit the lower kingdoms OF glory will
be In those kingdoms. rather than from
one kingdom TO another. The law OF
development is eternal But that is not
evolution. as the term is popularity un-
ierstood."

preaching repentance WIN be scorned by

the Car, In an evil moment, was per-
suoded to deprive them OF their consti-
tutionally guaranteed liberty. The les

Is, that In this age freedom is nee

that does not mean evolution into a
different sphere, and 10 with the terres-

After that explanation we are sur
prised TO receive a letter from an Eli
der In the missionary field, who, refer
ring to that article, has the following
TO say concerning It's meaning.

they had performed those ordinances
themselves In the flesh. This does not
signify their advancement from one
glory TO another, any more than II does
to us when we receive and obey the
Gospel.
The lack Of understanding concerning
simple things, as well as those more
difficult to comprehend. often arises
from hasty reading and too littls per-
sonal thought There would not be so
many needless questions asked, II peo-
pie when reading the scriptures would
thoroughly weigh each sentence as Il is
read and compare II with the context.
The same remark applies to the peru
sal of an article In newspaper or
magazine. II should be carefully ex-
amined so that its entire Specification
may be grasped, Selling sentence or
part OF sentence without comparing |
1t with the rest Of the argument or |
statement, is a very poor way TO arrive
at the meaning Of the writer, whether IT
be in an ordinary book, or public jour-
nal, or In the sacred scriptures. Many
people read too much In hurried way, |
and think too little over what they read.
Therefore, the advice and command of
the Savior is pertinent in this connec-
tlon; Whose readeth let him under
