In Fifty Years.

What will matter in fifty years
Care or laughter, joy or tears?
Who will wonder, who will care
Whether our days were dark or fair,
Whether we smiled or whether we
frowned,
What we sought or what we found?
Wisdom, folly, hopes or fears
What will matter in fifty years?
Who will care for our gold or dross,
Whether we shirked or bore our cross
Who will know if our hearts were kind,
Or of the dull or the brilliant mind,
Whether our days were wild or tame,
Whether we longed for love or fame?
Praise or blame or critics sneers-
What will matter in fifty years?
What will matter? Oh, Christ above,
What will matter save Thy dear love?
Earthly friends who share our gain
Fly when comes our woe or pain.
Pure of heart and strong Of will,
Falling, struggling, climbing still,
Eyes raised heavenward, penance,
tears
These will matter in fifty years.

SMITH DENIES PoLYGAMY.
Says No Plural Marriages Sanctioned
bv Mormons Since 1890.

A dispatch from Salt Lake City says: A
notable feature of the closing session of the
seventy-fourth annual conference Of the
Mormon Church was the official declara-
ton by President Joseph F. Smith on the
subject Of polygamy. The statement fol-
lows:
''Inasmuch as there are numerous reports
in circulation that plural marriages have
been entered into, contrary to the official
declaration of President Woodruff, of Sep
TENDER %, 1890, commonly called the mani
festo, which was issued by President Wood
ruff and adopted by the church at its gen.
eral conference, October 8, 1890, which for
bids any marriage violative of the law of
the land, 1, Joseph F. Smith, president of
the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter
Day Saints, hereby declare that no such
marriages have been solemnized with the
sanction, consent or knowledge of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, and
II hereby announce that all such marri-
ages are prohibited, and If any officer or
member Of the church shall assume to
or enter into any such marriage.
he will be deemed in transgression against
the church., and will be liable to be dealt
with according to the rules and regulations
thereof and communicated therefrom."
This statement receives the full indorse-
ment of the conference, which unanimously
adopted the following resolution, introduced
by Apostle Francis M. Lyman:
Resolved, That We. the members of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, in general conference assembled.
hereby approve and indorse the statement
and declaration of President Joseph F.
Smith, just made to this conference. con-
corning plural marriages, and will support
the courts of the church in the enforce
ment thereof"

Though Utah abounds with memorials of

BILE as what l saw there" said Mrs. Pierce.
