AN APPRECIATED READING.

Bishop Whitney read portions OF his
unpublished poem, ELIAS An Epic Of
the Ages" before an appreciatlve audi
onoe today In Barratt hall. The read
ing was very impressive, and was given
the closest attention throughout. The
professors and many of the visitors
afterwards expressed their admiration
Of the work of the Mormon" poet,
who. they said, has a nobler theme
than any other poet had, and whose
treatment of the theme is marked by
great dignity Of style and by remark
able condensation Of language.
President Paul wishes II understood
that II was a typographical error In
his letter Of yesterday that invited
first the members Of the Church and
then other persons to hear this read
ing The quotation marks were first
written on the word nom" Mormons"
and when this word was crossed out
and persons substituted the quota
tior marks were wrongly allowed to
remain.
