Importance Of Bible readings
Tho reading OF the holy Scriptures Is
the best means for the support Of the
true aud genuine apostolic Office ana
h entirely adapted to awaken In the
people a truly Christian knowledge ana
iconsclence. which can then be pervert-
,ed by nobody. What an inestimaOla
blessing It would be II every Christian
family would be assembled daily and
lead a chapter frsm the Gospels. In
this way the divine language Of the
book, together with ia sublime simpli-
city. would become common property
the image Of Jesus Christ would be-
come clearer and more deeply I'M
pressed on the hearts Of the people; a
thorough religious training would be
Impaired on all sides, and IN this way
The most dangerous results OF lBnor-
pnce ana indifference would be re-
moved. III 1t would only be made pos
slble 10 have this constant and steady
reading OF the Scriptures introduced IN
10 many families, as Is the case m a
number Of countries In northern hur-
ope, what an immense gain this WQuid
be for the church and the faithful
That is truly remarkable In Roman
ipaper Bible reading was at one time
mot encouraged by the defenders OF
Rome And so exceptional did 1t be-
come. that monk at the time Of the
Reformation Is said to have told his
audience that the reformers mad m
aented new language the Greek ana
written a Bible IN 1t, In order to lead
people astray Such ignorance!
But this IS all changed. To-day the
Protestants think yerylttle Of the sa-
cred Scriptures. Few read them as the
word of God. Many criticize them in
stead Of studying them. The Catholics
have taken the Bible up again They.
intend to defend It, They recommend
It's reading. There is a complete
change OF position.

THE cAHooN BILL.

The regulation and restriction Of the
liquor traffic is subject with which
Legislatures have had 10 wrestle IN
every part Of the civilized world. Some
states OF the Federal Union have passed
laws prohibiting the sale Of intoxicants,
and have found that while their theory
may appear sound, It's practice has not
been effective There Is demand Tor
stimulating drinks which is certain to
be met by a supply, II viii be furnished
either secretly or openly. The law for
bidding its sale win be evaded or de-
aed.
Experience has demonstrated this
bgond fair dispute, It has been found
mat In mixed population that Is,
one composed Of persons holding diff
Weren't views in regard TO the sale OF
intoxlcants, restriction and regulation
by high license is the most practical
way OF dealing with that which IS rec
ognized by the majority as an evil. 1t
cannot be stamped out while the APP
petltes Of so many individuals demand
a supply, and therefore IL has been
found better to control the tratiic as
well as possible than to attempt 70
extirpate It.
Utah has always had on its statute
books, from the beginning, measures
designed 10 suppress the sale OF Inc
toxicants where that was practicable
ana to restrict & IN towns and cities
where it's sale could not be stopped
In the larger cities OF this state Dc hos
been found exceedingly difficult TO enc
force the statutes and ordinances that
have been enacted. There are So many
ways 81 avoiding the penalties provide
I'd. that even when ofenses have been
detected conviction and punishmen.
have not always been the result OF
prosecution. Some Of our courts have
construed the law in favor Of the cul-
prit rather than Of the prosecute. ln
SAN Lake city, particularly the eza-u-
ton OF the law has been hedged up in
many ways. Amendments have been
made to the city charter and also 70
tho ordinances, and stu the iraiho has
gone on IN many instances 30 violation
and even defiance thereof

has had this Important subject under

In our opinion the bin introduced BY
Or. Cahoon. IL is comprehensive, well
arranged and appears TO cover The
necessary ground IN o practical ana

or two in its favor, as we believe that
