A GOOD FINANCIAL EXAMPLE

Some Of the leading citizens OF Idaho
Falls and contiguous places have taken
steps to establish banking Institution
at Rlgby, Idaho They have organized
under q recent statute which author
ICES the Inauguration OF such financial
enterprises with capital OF $1,000,
This is very small sum as a founda-
ton for such an important institution,
but II is believed the law VIII prove Of
great benefit to the people in small
towns and rural districts, where a bank
established on a solid foundation by
residents Of the place would be OF much
advantage in business affairs.
We suggest 10 our friends In Utah
that the same opportunities are now af-
forded In this State and we think they
should not be slow in taking advantage
Of them, They might as well do so as
to leave the openings for outside capital
to III up. There are a number Of CEN
rcrs Of trade In counties distant from
this city, where bank might be start
ed perhaps associated with other bust
ness ventures, and made profitable to
investors and Of convenience to the
people,
The example set by our friends in Ida
no is a good one and we hope to hear
that It has been followed by others In
Utah. Take time by the forelock!

BACK TO ROME.

One Of the strange religious features
Of the day is an organization in this
country known as the Society Of Atone
ment. II Is an Episcopal organization,
but it Is nevertheless a friars order.
They have an establishment on a
mountain three miles distant from the
village Garrison n. Y, and their lead
err or minister general" Is one Paul
James Francis, commonly called Fa-
Their Paul.
The Friars OF this society make Jour-
neys to the surrounding towns OF Peek
skill, Newburg and Cold Spring, where
the tradespeople are solicited for help.
The community however. has money
when money is needed, They evident
ly are endeayoring to incorporate the
Catholic friar institutions into the
Episcopal church,
But the particular message they
claim to have for the world today is,
that the Reformation was a great mis-
take, and that the Protestants ought to
return to Rome. Father Paul recently
declared;
"The society believes that to this
very day the See OF Peter Is in Rome
and that Leo XIII sitting in the chair
Of Peter, Is by divine right the uniyer-
sal shepherd. The vision Of final unity
does not contemplate the obliteration
OF the Church Of England by its being
swallowed up by Rome in the way a
lion might gulp down q lamb There
need be no loss OF individuality. Neither
will the Book Of Common Prayer be
sacrificed, for the United Greeks and
other Eastern bodies which have be-
come reconciled with Rome have re-
talned many OF their beliefs and cere-
monials. go the Holy Father Of Chris
tendon would deal no less generously
with the great Anglo-Catholic COM
munlon,"

churches win be united under the guild
ance Of the pope. 1.-THE HISTORIANS"

The existence Of this society shows
one OF the well marked tendencies Of
the present age, a great many leave
the churches, fully convinced that 1t Is
impossible to find grain Of truth in
The vast heaps Of error they see on all
hands Others remain In the various
foldsbut when they perceive the cracks
and openings, and rotten planks, and
the refuse Of ages, they wish and pray
for better quarters. Under the cir
cumstances dosmas appear less inn
pcrtant than they used to do Church
organizations are not held to be in
fallible And consequently there are
fewer obstacles 70 union than there
once We're. Back to Rome is not yet a
general cry among the Protestant
churches. but most Of them are IN such
condition that a backward movement,
all along the line, would cause but lit
lie surprise.
And yet the unity thus secured would
be Of no advantage TO Christendom
The only desirable unity is that which
results from the order established, not
by the head Of the Roman church, but
by the Christ Himself, who gave to tbs
Church certain Offices and powers, and

BEWARE OF PERSECUTION.

The governments OF the German states,
and other high authorities in the world,
would do well to remember that truth
cannot be put down by persecution,
Ecclesiastical history Is full Of examples
proving that truth rather grows under
opposition The Waldenses and Al
blgenses when expelled from their
peaceful valleys OF the mountains, scat
tered an over Europe, and wherever
they went, they brought with them the
spirit with which they were endowed,
their doctrines, and their good works.
II is question whether their dispersion
was not a necessary preliminary to the
political and religious revolutions by
which the chains Of the middle ages
We're broken, and freedom became pos
sible.
The Mennonites, toe, were driven
from place TO place, and harassed IN
every imaginable manner but the
principles they advocated lived on, and
gathered TO their support large and In
