ROOSEVELT ON THE BIBLE.

President Roosevelt evidently high
~ appreciates the influence OF the b.
bic In the world. He especially points
out the justice Of the principle taught
in the scored volume according TO
which each person IL TO be judged In
proportion to the light he has received
On this point he is quoted in Pub
lie Opinion as follows:
"You may look through the Bible
from cover 20 cover and nowhere VIII
you find limo that can be construed
into an apology for the man OF brains
who sins against the light. On the
contrary. in the Bible taking that as
a guide, you win find that because
much has been given you, much VIII
be expected from you and a heavier
condemnation Is 10 be visited upon the
able man who goes wrong, than upon
his weaker brother who can not do
the harm that the other does, because
II Is not in him to do it,
1.-THE immense moral influence OF the
Bible though OF course, infinitely the
most important Is not the only power
II has for good. In addition, there Is
the unceasng influence Il exerts on the
side OF good taste, of good literature,
OF proper sense Of proportion, Of sim
pie and Straightforward writing and
thinking. The Bible does not teach us
TO shirk difficulties. but 10 overcome
them. That IL lesson that each one
of us who has children Is bound In
honor to teach these children, II he or
she expects 10 see them become htted
to play the part Of men and women
In our world

DON'T BE ALARMED.


The terrible catastrophe on the island
Of Martinique has not only shocked the
world, but occasIoned many tremors
and mlsglvlngs among the people IN
those parts Of the globe that have IN
times past suffered from volcanic
action. There are many people In thlS
mountain region who are duaking, IN
anticipation of some awful oulburst
OF terra lrma which may engulf TINS
city and others In the State, or wreck
them with awful disaster
IL is conceded. we believe, by soient''
No investigators, that evidences are.
abundant to support the theory that
volcanic eruptlons on large scale have
been active in these parts, and that at
a not very remote age. But that does
NOT argue concluslvely that we are IKE
" TO be disturbed by recurrence OF
such commissions Celebrated geolo-
gists have advanced suggestions that
these are probable In the future, ana
efforts have been used to make 1t APP
near that Or. James Il, Talmage con-
ours In their views, This has been done
repeatedly, simply for the purpose OF
creating an alarm in the interest OF
newspaper sensation.
The Deseret News has several times
denied the statement that the
professor, who Is reliable au-
thority on the subject, has cor
roborated the theories that
have frightened some Of the residents
Of Utah. An article will be found
IN another part OF this issue OF
the Deseret News, and which
win set the matter at rest 30
far as his opinions are concerned. The
fact that violent volcanic action takes
place In q certain spot on this globe,
Instead Of causing great alarm in other
places, should be taken as an indication
Of safety for the latter, Such disturb
ances are less likely to occur there
when q vent is found in large volume,
such as that which brought death and
destruction to Sc. Pierre.
Speculations as to what may take
place 'if'' such and such things hap
pen. are simply bogies held up to ter
rorlze the unthlnking. "lf' the skies
should fall, birds would be plentiful
for the market III" the bottom Of
Salt Lake should fall out, II would be
bad season for saltair. III the tail
Of a comet should smite the City and
County building, there would be an
end 10 business there for q while. "Ifs'
and butts" may serve very well for
newspaper alarms but they ought not
TO have weight with thinking people.
We are living in a blessed spot at
present, no matter what may have been
conditions here in the past, and we may
continue TO build up and develop this
growing State, without tremors or
alarms for the future, which we have
no doubt will be far more brilliant and
glorious in century than II Is today.
Do not be frightened By scientific or
journalistic scarecrOw.

NOTHING TO ANSWER,


An editorial on "Mormonsm" which
appeared In the Baptist Chronicle, has
been copied into some Of the newspa-
pers In the South, and has been for
warded to us with a request to reply
10 II in the Deseret News. There Is
nothing now In It to give Il any spec
lal interest to the majority OF our read
ers. II Is but an echo OF the circular
that has been distributed throughout
the land. and especially to the press
Of the country, signed by a number Of
sectarlan ministers. That has been met
IN several places, either by strong pro-
tests on the part Of bright editors or
by dash of the cold water OF indif.
ference sometimes by the wet blan-
ket OF contempt.
Wherever a reply appears to be de-
sirahlA we think IL should come from
The Elders or members OF the Church
in the vicinity OF the place whore II
appears. An answer through the local
paper which publishes the attack
would most likely do more good than
repeated answers through the Deseret
News 1t would be Of little profit TO
the bulk OF our readers for us TO take
up the generalitles Of which the art-
Gle sent US Is composed, and deny the
accusations, entirely unsupported by
evidence. that are hurled therefrom
against the Latter-day Saints ana their
faith.
What Is the good Of meeting such ar
guments as these: Filthy rags Of
"Mormonlsm," Conspiracy to rob and
ruin, debauch and defraud." These
owls Of the midnight" Doctrines 1T
for devils rather than Saints" Con
.ound the unclean foe" etc, etc. II
"out Of the abundance Of the heart the
mouth speakeih." good Lord deliver US
from the heart that beats under the
breast OF the Baptist Chronicle! V.tu-
pcration is not argument; calling vile
names demonstrates no truth and ex-
poses no error. There is nothing In the
article sent TO US worthy Of extended
notice In cur columns.

According TO tradition, the shroud
left IN the tomb on the day OF the
resurrection was preserved among the
Nazarcnes OF Jerusalem, At the time
OF the fan Of that city, II WAS hidden,
and later probably conveyed either 70
Rome or Constantlnople During the
following centuries It turned up in var
ious places. In 1867 chapel was con-
struoted for Il at Chambery. Some
years later this chapel, the story says
was consumed by FIRE, but the shroud
was almost mlraculously preserved. In
1886 Duke Charles III Of Savoy re-
treated TO Turin before the invading
king of France, taking with him what
he considered his most precious posses-
slon--the holy shroud. He carried II
back 10 Chambery In 1861. Frequent
pllgrlmages were made to the relic, and
In 1864 a chapel connected with the Ca
thedral OF ST. John the Baptist at Turin
was especially built for It's reception,
which has been there ever since, II Is

occasions or the so-caled "ostentatlon.'

"Tell me not OF your doubts and dis
couragements, said Goethe; Il have
plenty Of my own. But talk to me OF
your hope and faith" The tone OF
complaint is one which we are all too
ready to accept, and which is not only
injurious to ourselves but hurtful to all
who come in contact with us. In speak
ing Of young woman who had filed
several good positions, but with no de-
gree OF success, an elder woman said:
"She could have kept either position
ana earned good income II she had
not been so dissatisfied. She was con-
tlnually finding fault and never felt
that she was appreciated"

Tyndall walking with friend among

behold such sublime scene as this and
not feel that there is a God?" The great
scientist replied: II feel 1t as much as
any man can feel It, and l rejoice In It

The comment OF Beecher was that 50
