TRY AND BE DECENT!

Why is II that preachers and editors
who do not believe In that when IL
commonly called "Mormonism.' almost
invariably assail II from the standpoint
of their own error? Sometimes from
lack of understanding, often with per-
verse intent, they misstate the doc
trines OF our Church. It's ordinances
discipline and purpose. and base their
attacks upon those untenable grounds
we do not wish. just now. to par
ticularize, either as TO present and
special distortions or those who use
them. II Is on general principles we
wish to speak. II is a trite saying
that Truth is mighty and VIII pre-
vail" Falsehood may flourish for
awhile and serve an evanescent pur-
pose, but II will as surely fail In the
end as that darkness Is dispeled by
light
II the principles OF "Mormonism'
are Incorrect, why not state them as
they are and as understood by the
people who hold them as true? Why
put them always in a false light, and
then proceed to ridicue or subvert
them by casuistry and sophistry? Why
twist them out Of their natural form
and then hold them up, distorted and
dressed In burlesque garb, for the gibes
of infidels and the laughter Of the fool
ish and the viciousY
"Mormonism," as 1t Is dubbed, Is
honestly and devotedly accepted as d.
vine, by many thousands OF men
and women who have closely
investigated II, and who have
demonstrated their sincerity by
leaving all things for It's sake.
The men whom they receive as holding
divine authority to proclaim It and ad-
minister it's ordinances. have given the
most striking proofs human beings can
offer, of their faith and readiness to
sacrifice themselves and all they have
for It's maintenance. Why not treat
them fairly, and II they are deemed
wrong point out their errors instead OF
taking Interior means to injure and do
them harm?
As sure az there Is a Supreme Being
who governs this universe, this system
and the people who uphold II are going
TO be a power In the earth. They can
not be stamped out, nor overcome by
the cunning craftiness of men or the
forces OF evil arrayed against them II
their opponents are wise, they viii look
q little ahead, and question whether II
will be profitable to wage the miry
and virulent warfare that Ia attempted
once more for either gain or ambition
or irrational hatred.
For the sake Of probabilities that In
this fast age viii not take long to de-
yelop, we ask "our friends the enemy"
TO adopt different policy and endeavor
to be fair and decent, and II they must
oppose. do SO on ascertained facts and
truths, and II they can convince the
"Mormons" OF error In their system or
their conduct, they will make some real
Roadway, and have the satisfaction of
proceeding along the lines of reason
and OF conscience.

a straightforward dealing with all

Charles Darwin, being asked In his
latter days whether science supported
the Christians faith In the being of
God, replied that science presented
probabilities both for and against II,
and that the deciding vote had to be Civ
en- by each individual according to his
personal makeup, Neither the being
Of God nor the inspiration Of Scripture
can be proven as one proves problem
In geometry. Moral ratiocination starts
not with the axloms but with postu-
lates, not with premises which II Is
possible to deny, but with assumptions
which men OF exemplary life are bound
to accept. What II IL impossible to

The Waterman.

People today are very generally
asked. What truth Is TO serve as the
center and inspiration Of a revival of
religion at the beginning OF this CEN
uuy? Many answers are being given
TO that question. Or. Josiah Strong
thinks that we are to find the especial
truth for our age In the rediscovery OF
the Kingdom Of God. DR.. John Wat
son varies the thought little and has
spoken eloquently about the necessity
OF preaching social righteousness. /"
The difficulty with such statements is
that they make an effect of Christian
truth primary. What we want is the
truth that produces such effects. For
ourselves we do not believe that there
Is any mystery about the sovereign
truth this age needs, and to which It
will respond as no other--that truth is
the character and claims OF Jesus
Christ. What we need Is a new explor-
alton and exposition of the personality
of Jesus Christ, and of the validity OF
his claim to the mastership Of the hui
man soul. Once his supernal greatness
is indicated and his claim acknowl-
edged everything else follows.

CANADA WANTS SOLDIERS.

Canadians seem anxious TO obtain
large military force. which can be con-
troled Independently OF the home gov
eminent. Possibly this has some con-
nectlon with the movement for inde-
pendence, which Is said to be growing
rapidly among the French Canadian
element. At all events, an Independent
militia In sympathy with the National
lists, would be great aid TO their
cause.
The Canadian minister OF militia and
defense. has recently outlined his plans.
According to The Army and Navy
Journal II provides for n permanent
military establishment, with an enlist
ed force OF 100000 men, ready to take
the field with complete auxilarles, In
Guiding medical corps army service
corps, intelligence department and
transport. II Is intended that there
shall be an enlisted force Of $4,000 as
peace footing. half OF which shall
drill every year, and another $4,000 to
be held as a reserve. with the members
Of which the annual drill shall be OPP
tional, but they are to be supplied with
rifles and ammunition and encouraged
to make themselves proficient In the
use OF firearms by practice at home.
The plans provide that all the officers
and non-commissioned officers needed
for the entire force OF 100000 shall be
thoroughly trained and required to
drill every year, and with that end
In view Il Is proposed to institute a
more thorough system OF military In
struction, with branch establishments
throughout the Dominion. Provision
" made for a great central comp con-
tanning about 10000 acres, where all
officers, together with the regular force
and contingents from every corps In
the Dominion, may be assembled every
year for instruction and maneuvers
under conditions Stimulating as closely
as possible those of actual war. In
addition to this central camp, district
camps are to be established at con-
yenient points In the various provinces
where such OF the reserves as desire to
drill may assemble and where they VIII
be assisted to perfect themselves IN
rifle practice. The plans provide for
large increase In the number OF mount
ed men, particularly on the frontier OF
the Province Of Ontario and In the
northwest. as well as for the develop
ment of a large artillery force The
plan contemplates giving to Canada the
most efficient militia organization In
the world.
The total population Of Canada Is
about 100000 souls, To make them
maintain what would be. practically,
standing army of 100000 men, would
seem to be to bring European militar-
ism across the Atlantic. We hope the
Canadian people are too sensible for
that At all events, II Is not probable
that the British government would re-
linqush its hold upon any Canadian
military force that may, be organized.
The Canadians should not fall into
the error OF adopting policy that
would stunt its growth, as militarism
certainly would What Canada needs
is close attention to the development
of its vast resources. MllitarIsm sits
like burden upon the nations that
carry It. They are crippled, as was
Sinbad the Sailor. until he succeeded
In freeing himself from the monster
that burdened his shoulders.

THE STRIFE REVIVAL.
