IMMORTALITY.

shall not believe this life is
extinguished. If the Father de-
signs to touch with divine power
the cold and pulseless heart of
the buried acorn, and make it to
burst forth from its prison walls,
will he leave neglected in the
earth the soul of a man who was
made in the image of his Creator?
Ii he stoops to give to the rose
bush, whose withered blossoms
float upon the breeze, the sweet
assurance of another springtime,
will he withhold the words of
hope from the sons of men when
the frosts of winter come -? If
matter, mute and inanimate.
though changed. by the forces of
nature into a multitude of forms.
can never die, will the imperial
spirit of man suffer humiliation
after it has paid a brief visit,
like a royal guest, TO this tene-
ment of clay.
Rather let us believe that he,
who in his apparent prodigality
not the raindrop, the
blade of grass, or the evenings
zephyr, but makes them
all to carry out his plans he has
given immortality to the mortals.
William Jennings Bryan.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-12-15

in earnest in his campaign to ex
pei the representative of Nor
monism from the senate.
"The Mormon church always
declares it is not in politics, but
the very fact that one of its fav.
orite sons was elected to the
United States senate, and that ii
is leaving no stone unturned to
keep him there, is an answer to
the disclaimer which it is hard to
explain away. A rich and power
full establishment like the Nor
mon church would be led and
managed by abnormal beings if
1T were to miss an opportunity to
get a representative into either
the senate or the house. Was
the Mormon church in or out of
politics when it sent Roberts to
Washington =? Does any one
suppose that Mormonism accept
ed its defeat meekly, retired sub
missively from the political field
and was taken by surprise when
Smoot became the choice
OF the Utah Legislature for United
States senator :? IL so he must
be easily gulled. Reed Smoot
was the kind of energetic, prac-
teal and diplomatic young man
who would best represent the in
Lerests of the church, and it was
not to chance but design that he
owed his opportunity to sit in the
United States senate. Yet Mr..
Smoot declared in Washington a
few days ago that the Mormon
church is not in politics shy
more than are the Methodists,
3aptists or any other denomina-
ion. "Our membership, so far
is | know" he said, sis about
divided between the two
great parties and they are not
controlled in their voting by the
'hurch authorities" Uniformly, |
10; but occasionally, yes, when
here is some advantage to be
,ained. The presence of Reed
'moot in the senate is conclusive
violence of Mormon activity in
'olitics. Mr.. Smoot may be able
o prove that he is a monagamist
n practice and that his right to
etain his seat cannot be chal-
enged, but he cannot be accept
d as an authority upon the polit-
cal innocuosness Of the Mormon
hurch."
