MISS ANNA M. WOMAN.

After a lingering illness Anna M
 Widman daughter of the late Louis
 and Katherine Widman, died in this
 city yesterday morning, aged thirty
 seven years Her death brings sorrow
 to a large circle of friends, who loved her for her many beautiful traits of character. Deceased was born on Crown street in the old Widman family homestead, and was widely known among the German residents of the city. Miss Widman was Of very re- ligious nature, and had intended to de- vote her life to work in that field She was twice prevented from entering the convent known as St. Mary's of the Springs at Columbus, O., which is un- der the supervision of the Dominican order She was devout member of St. Boniface's R. c. church, and was active in the congrega ton, doing much charitable work and bringing happiness to many afflicted homes.
 Failing in her desire to enter a relig- ious order Miss Widman decided to be- come a trained nurse and, after taking the regular course at the New Haven hospital, was graduated over a year ago. Wnlle at the nOSpllal StuQylng she overtaxed her strength and broke down soon after Her constitution was not strong enough to stand the severe strain to which she had been subject ed and symptoms of tuberculosis set in. She leaves one brother. Albert Wild man, who is connected with the firm of H. Konod 6, Son, and the Woodbridge Ice company. All the other members of this well known family have passed away.
 Her funeral will take place to-mor- row morning from St, Bonifaces R. c. church. The interment will be in the family plot. The Rev. Father Joseph pastor of the church, will of ficiate at a requiem high mass.
 The ia ther of Miss Wildman was one of the pioneer German settlers of this city. He conducted a grocery store on Crown street for many years, and was well known to the business men of New Haven. He and his wife died a num- Der of years ago. Their daughter was graduate of the Webster school and of the Hillhouse high school.

! and charities from members of our 1 church. while it is hard to get the ne-
 cessities of life for our own distinctively
 church objects. We can count about as many things which have been misman-
 aged as have been well managed in our | work. The same old spirit of getting
 a man a place rather than man who l can fill a place. And When man was
 put in a palce the same old spirit of be-
 ing disloyal to the organization as a
 whole and standing off and criticising | in private rather than helping defects, | has done the business and it will con-
 tlnue to do it if such a policy is to go on.
 And I believe that just so long as
 young men feel that when they are in the ministry they are in private and
 sometimes in public looked upon not as
 men who are wanted but as men who
 must be gotten place. That there is
 no distinction in men if they succeed
 by any method and that the man who is most needy should have the first care. And the laymen feel that they must give money not for the strength and power of the Church of God but to SuDpOTL timent or an institution which has no claim to existence except that it exists And so long as we practically except that it exists.
 And so long as we practically an- nounce that we see all this and yet have neither the brains nor the executive ability nor the courage to change these things it will be difficult for the strong est moral nature and most manly men to see the claim the ministry has reach ed or to gain or exercise power which we ought to have as an organization. believe that we ought to have more great objects for which we all stand to- gether. It is perfectly possible for us acting as a. unit to stand against the misuse of Sunday and to insist that men think and speak of the church as divine institution, and not machine to be run.
 As the community at large is inclin- ed more and more to regard Lent with us we could put our united strength in making it what the church intended it should be. We could make 1t felt that divorce and remarriage is not desir- able thing in our communion by some thing more than canon law.
 We could make the community feel that wealth and piety are not necessar- fly identical and that we do not always seek for people who can contribute lib- erally.
 I might go on and there are many more things which might be ennumerat- ed but simply wish to suggest the idea that if there were more high ideals of moral and spiritual nature and we could constantly increase in the minds | of the clergy and laity that the man who has not some message for the peo- pie on such issues is not wanted any | where. If we could be loyal to every thing in our church until its faults can be changed from within not frozen out | by external criticism.
 If We could make all men feel that the interest of the church is much greater | than the welfare of any man or set of | men. I believe that we could make the I church a place where self-sacrifice was more easy and natural, and that the would be less attractive to small men and more attractive to great men. And we should grow better upon 2 perfectly natural and healthy basis.

QUERIES ANSWERED.

A lady who is a reader Of the Deseret
News and resides IN Tennessee, seeks
information on some points that she
finds in the Bible, and the meaning Of
which are obscure to her She there
fore requests the Deseret News TO give
her some light concerning them. The
first is In Gen. Vi, IA. The question
Is, "who we're the sons OF God there
referred to. Were they men, or angels
as some aver"
The answer 10 this will be found in
the new translation or revision Of the
scriptures by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Also In the Pearl Of Great Price" In
that portion called "The Writings Of
Moses" which reads as follows;
"And Noah and his sons hearkened
unto the Lord, and gave heed, and they
We're called the sons Of God, ETC."
The reason why they were called "the
sons Of God" IS because they obeyed
His word and received the Holy
Priesthood by which they were conse-
Grated to Him. The wrong that they
committed was In taking unto them
selves wiies Of "the daughters Of men"
that is, the men Of the world. And
they took them "as they chose" not
having regard to the covenants and OBJ
legations Of the Priesthood, and there
fore the Lord was dlspleased and the
consequences related IN that chapter
thereupon ensued They were not an
gels, as some Commentators have i'm
agined.
The next question covers several pas
sagcs OF scripture but they all relate
to the same subject and may be an
swered under one head. The texts that
speak OF angels p0rtaking Of food and
of Jesus, after His resurrection, eating
in the presence OF His disciples, indi-
cate most certainly that those heavenly
persons had bodies A spiritual body
lHuuEn dllltINnl III SWIM Noo'hAl'Ni ~
spects to q natural body" is yet
substantial, tangible, and may be called
material, although It is composed OF
elements SO refined and exalted above
that which is commonly called matter,
that Il is as different as the elements Of
air are TO iron or lead or other gross
material
Jesus assembled into heaven with the
body In which He was cruclhed, but
which was so changed and TRANSPORTED
az to be o spiritual body, not subject
to the laws OF grayltation or bound by
the ties that hold things earthly to the
earth, The change that was wrought up
on the fish and honeyoomb Of which lie
partook in the presence Of His disciples,
IN not mentioned in the Scriptures. We.
therefore, leave that as one Of those
things that while not known now shall
be known hereafter.

THEY WERE FoREwARNED.

Advlces from the West Indian ISL
ands say that Mont Pelee is still belch-
Ing forth fire and smoke, at intervals.
This would indicate the correctness OF
the supposltion that the destroyed city
will not be rebuilt for a long time,
and also the wisdom OF the suggestion
that the island be abandoned. For as
long as the destructive forces OF ma
hre are in operation, there can be no
safety in the vicinity Of the center OF
the disturbances.
Some speculation has been INDUCED
IN regarding the fate that overlook the
inhabitants OF the destroyed city, And
by some II has been suggested that
they were Sinners above all men," and
therefore were oyertaken by swift
death. Others almost question Divine
justice, manifested In this manner. But
Il now appears that the lives Of all
the inhabitants OF 81. Pierre could have
been saved. had they needed the warn
ings they received. II this is true, the
speculatlons referred 10 are idle.
The fact Is said to be, that the gov
ernor Of the island Moullet, instructed
Professor Landes OF the University OF
ST. Pierre to Investigate the mountain,
as soon as It gave unusual signs Of un-
rest. The professor aid so and report
ed, in a cipher dispatch to the governor,
that the volcano In all probability
would not remain stu much longer.
He added that the total destruction Of
the city Of St, Pierre might be looked
for, not later than on the Sth day Of
this month. This cipher dispatch Is
said to be IN existence yet. The de-
struction occurred on the date men,
toned.
The eruption, then, ala not come
without previous threats, and so well
defined were these that the people in
stlnctively felt that they were men
aced, and that scientist was able to
predict TO the day, the coming calanl-
ty. But the warnings We're not needed.
We are told that Governor Mouttet, in
stead Of acting on the advice Of Pro-
fessor Landes, went to st. Pierre and
tried TO allay the fears Of It's inhabl-
tants. lie ordered Landes to say moth
Ing about the conclusions he had
reached. Mouttet said that II st. Pierre
was destroyed he would remain to
share the fate OF the Inhabitants.
Landes acquesced, saying he, too.
would remain. Both lost their lives on
May Sth, though Mouttet was trying
to escape when It was too late.
The continued activity Of the noun
tain should not go unheeded. 1t may
mean that the entire island is in dan
ger. II the people remain and some day
find themselves swept nom the face
Of the earth, IL cannot be said that they
had no warning
