precious or beautiful morsel OF ethics
have never seen" Writing three years
later, In 1878, 70 william Short, he re-
fers to IAN abstract from the Evangei.
lists" which he had attempted 100
hastily some twelve or fifteen years
ago." II was the work, he added, OF
some two OF three nights only, at
Washington, after getting through the
evenings task Of reading the letters
and papers OF the day.
The original volume consists OF l0s
pages exclusive OF the title page. Each
leaf has four columns on the first COLI
umn Is pasted the text cut from the
Greek Testament; ON the second, the
latin; on the third, the French, and
on the fourth, the English, On the
margin OF each leaf next TO the English
version Mr.. Jefferson notes the Gospel
and the chapter from which the text Is
taken. The whole Is a condensation OF
what Jefferson believed should be in-
Guided In plain statement OF the life
and teachings Of Jesus. There Is also
a table Of the texts employed in the
narrative. This table fills three pages,
and was written by Mr. Jefferson. Ex-
tracts from the four Gospels are close
ly interviewer In the effort to make a
complete and harmonious story
The curious work was bought some
years ago by the government from a
member OF the Randolph family OF Vir-
ginia, and is now In the keeping OF
Dr. Cyrus Adler. librarian Of the
Smithsonian Institution. The title page
Is written In Mr.. Jefferson's hand, and
Is as follows; THE Life and Morals
Of Jesus OF Nazareth, Extracted
Textually from the Gospels In Greek,
Latin, French and English"
The book as now published, gives
the English text only The story OF
Jesus according TO Mr., Jefferson ends
with the death and the grave. Its
closing words are: There they laid
Jesus, and rolled q great stone to the
door of the sepulcher, and departed"
This Is a serious mistake Of the COM
pller, for In the Gospels, resurrection
and Victory over the grave are import
ant moments In the history Of our
Lord. They are the GROWING events
OF His career. Without them there
would have been no Christianity The
truth OF the ethics of Jesus, which
Mr.. Jefferson 80 much admlres, re-
celyed their divine seal by His resur-
rection and ascension into glory, But
inhdelity sees nothing beyond the grave,
There laid they Him" That Is the
finls Of their story. There is nothing
beyond. To Christianity this Is differ
ent. Beyond the grave II sees life eter-
nal, with progress toward perfection,
far beyond anything that has ever en-
tered the heart of man.
II has been we'll said that the gov
eminent cannot consistently publish a
work, the dissemination of which would |
be construed as n covert attack upon
prevalent religious beliefs. Its publ |
cation by private enterprise, however, |
is different.

ENFORCE THE LAW.


There may be some truth In the doc
trine that criminal law cannot be so
rigidly enforced as TO prevent every
violation. every crime. No reasonable
citizens expect absolute perfection. But
what they do demand IL this, that their
trusted servants exercise all the vigil
aioe and diligence possible in enforce
irg the laws and ordinances. And II
these officers are especially pledged to
make war on Sunday liquorseillng and
On gambling dens. then It Is their duty
TO do so. II II time enough for them to
plead inability, when every means az
the disposal Of the administrators Of
law has been employed for the suppress
sion OF the particular vices complained
of, II they do the best they can, and
keep faith with the public, very few
viii find fault. The Indignation that
has been aroused Is due TO the fact that
the impression prevails that particular
lines OF law-breaklng are ignored, in
spite Of pledges and promises given in
difference to the general sentiment All
around Utah steps are being taken to
close the gambling dens. In Seattle ac-
tion In that direction has been taken on
the demand Of the business men. Butte
has closed the dens, we understand, and
in Denver there is an agitation for a
similar purpose. II under the circum-
stances Salt Lake City unfortunately
should. through official neglect OF duty,
become gathering place Of the ele-
ment that nearly everywhere is con-
sldered Objectionable, the result would
be disastrous to morals and business
interests alike

what position, from the simple fact
that he Ia a Christian, Is In our eyes
blind man fallen from all human
dignity. Other inhdels have rarely
been aggressive toward US. But Chris
tlans have In all times shown them
selves our bltterest enemies,
The only excuse you offer Is that you
reproach us with being rebelllous
against your civilization. Yes. rebel
llous. and rebellous TIL DEATH But Il
is you, and you alone. who are the
cause OF this. Great God are we blind
enough not to see the prodIgles OF your
progress? But know, Christian con-
querors, that no calculation. no treas
ure, no miracle can ever reconcile us 10
your lmpious rule. Know that the mere
sight Of your flag here ia torture to
lslam's soul, your greatest Dement'S are
so many spots sullying our conscience,
and our most ardent aspiration and
hope Is 10 reach the happy day when
we can efface the last vesttge OF your
accursed empire. Before the Christian
peril we have effaced the quarrels Of
our sects. IslamIo unity Ia rising from
one end OF the world TO the other, The
cause OF Islam's sterility Is entirely In
the fatal abyss created by your church
es between US and western civiliza-
ton"

to this statement Of the position OF the
followers Of Islam. As far rs II repre-
sents the attitude of the adherents OF
other faiths outside Christehdom, II

There are many people vino look up
on the account of the destruction OF
Sodom and Gomorrah, given In the
book Of Genesis as incredible as a
historic record and that. therefore, It
IL either mythical legendary or ale
gorical That account reads thus.
"Then the Lord ralned upon Sodom and
upon Gomorrah birthstone and fire
nom the Lord Of heaven; and He over
threw those cities and all the plain and
ell the inhabitants OF the cities and
that which grew upon the ground"
Yet these words read exactly as do the
accounts Of the recent destruction OF
the city Of st. Pierre on the island OF
Martinique. The Bible may appear TO
be Incredible to unbelieving rational
.sts, but the truthfulness of Its state
ments has been confirmed by nature
and even by the discovery Of ancient
historical records as the statements Of
no other book have been.

The clergyman with each decade
speaks with less and less authority as
an original source OF scholastic knowl-
edge and is being left free TO preach, TO

lofty action, to persuade men to choose

Dr. Stuart and the generation he repre-
sents to give UP the notion that he, a

The police Of the Western cites were
