ZIONISM ACTIVE,

A biz Zionist convention Is to be held
at Cleveland, Ohio, during the month
of June, and It appears that "Zion'sm
will not be the only topic considered nj
that gathering. MIR. Kolinsky who Is
chairman of the convention committee,
says, as quoted, that the Zionists are
about to consider what they can do for
the Improvement OF the Hebrew race
by means Of physical culture.
The Zionists seem to think that the
centuries Of oppression through when
the children Of Israel have passed has
resulted in physical degeneration, ana
that something must be done to remedy
this.
The New York zionsts, we are told
have organized a Jewish Lads brigade.
This win be the model for similar bril-
gades all over the country. But every
thing smacking OF show and militar-
ism will be studlously avoided In the
formation OF these bodies, 1t Is SAID
The European Zionlsts have also re-
allied the necessity Of doing something
in this direction. They have mad
physical culture for the Jewish youth
as a part OF their activities for several
years. They realize that In order to
organize a Jewish state In Palestine
they must have sound material. The
pioneer settlers must be healthy, not
only In mind, but in body
This is a commendable movement 1t
cannot but have good results II, as Is
promised, the spirit OF militarism can
be kept out Of the organization.
Zionlsm Is gaining adherents among
the Jews In this country, and 1t Is not
improbable that It's greatest strength
will be derived from the people here,
| That Is said to be the view OF Mr.,
Herzl, who has repeatedly said that the
success of the cause depends largely
upon the American Jewish community
with its liberty Of action, That Is
reasonable. And the strength Will
come. For no true-hearted jew can
fail to sympathIze with that movement.
Many may regard the leaders as char
latans and enthusiasts or even as agI-
tators. Moses was viewed In that
light. we fancy, when he first urged the
exodus from Egypt, But that was ac-
compllshed, II was in accordance with
Il divine plan SO is 2ionIsm in our
day, II prophecy Is authority. 1t viii
gain ground until every patriotic jew
is interested in IT, and working for its
accomplishment, and when the right
time comes the difficulties will roll away
az aid the waves OF the Red Sea, and
the people viii reach the land Of prom
se. rejoicing,

ABOUT PRE.ENISTENCE.

As Is well known, the Latter.day
Saints are firm believers IN the Scrip
tural doctrine Of pre.exlstence, They
find this truth revealed In both the Ola
and the New Testament, and they re.
ioice IN the more recent revelations on
that important subject The majority
Of the so.callcd Christian world have
not been able to see the truth in this
matter, They believe In prc-exstence
Of Christ, our Elder Brother and Cap
tain Of our salvation. but they regard
Him as different from all others in this
respect, though In the case Of the Pro.
phet jeremiah II is expressly stated
that he was known, sanctided and or.
dained by God, even before his birth
And why should the case ot this pro.
phet be different from that Of other
servants Of the Lord?
Strange to say the poets Of the world
seem 20 have felt nstlnctIyely that life
does not commence with birth. as little
as II ends with DEATH and that earthly
existence Is merely link OF "a chain. the
ends of which are lost to view IN either
direction, The Troy Press has noted
some quotations from leading poetIcal
writers that prove their views on the

question OF pre.exlstence, Victor Hugo
says:

question or existence Victor Hugo
says:
Before came upon this earth

For ages as an angel; birth

In the poem "To an Astrologer' Ella
Wheeler Wilcox gives expression TO this
thought:
Before the solar systems we're con-
ceived,
When nothing was but the unnamable,
My spirit lived an atom OF the Cause
Through countless ages and In many
forms

This human frame to serve us lt'le

Coleridge in ION a Homeward Jour-

The following stanzas are quoted
from James Russell Lowells THE Twi-

The outward features Of our life may
not be all that we should choose them
to be; there may be things we wish for
that never come to us; there may be
much we wish away that we cannot
part from. The persons with whom we
live, the circumstances by which we are
surrounded, the duties we have to per-
form, the burdens We have TO bear.
may not only be other than what we
,should have selected for ourselves but
may even seem Inconsistent with that
formation and discipline of character
which we honestly wish TO promote.
Knowing us better than we know our
selves, fully understanding how greatly
we are affected by the outward events
and conditions OF life He has
ordered them with view TO our en-
tire and final, not only our immediate
happiness and whenever we can be
safely trusted with pastures that
are green, and waters that are
still in the way OF earthly blessing, tho

ZION TO BE REDEEMED!

The Latter-day Saints will be pleased
with the news that comes By Associated
Press dispatch from Kansas City that
negotiations have been contaminated
by which the Church comes into full
possession OF large portion OF the
land IN jackson county, Missouri, which
was originally owned by the Church
and designed for the erection Of a Tenn
ple and the commencement Of the New
Jerusalem to be built In that locality
Twenty-Five and three-fourths acres
have been purchased with a clear title
for the sum of s25 900. The major por-
ton Of this amount had been generous
" donated by several faithful Latter
day Saints whose gifts are on record,
and doubtless there viii be others who
will desire TO aid In the redemption OF
the land which the Lord commanded
His people to obtain by purchase
About sixty-three acres were first ac-
CURED for the Church by Bishop Ed
ward Partridge and the deeds were
made out in his name. Some portions
of the real estate were subsequently
gold for taxes. II will be remembered
that the sect known as the Hedrckites
acquired title to one plot OF this
ground, which they have been able
10 retain, notwithstanding the litiga'
ton Instituted by the so-called IRE
organized" or "Josephlte' body. That,
however Ii comparatively small piece
of land but Is near TO the area now ac-
Qulred by this Church, II is remark
able that the latter should have re-
manned vacant through all the changes
Of the years that have interviewed since
the Saints We're driven from that place,
We recognize the hand OF the Lord IN
its preservation and It's return to His
Church. and look for the entire full
hllment Of the predictions relating to
the redemption OF Zion,
The commandment concerning the
possession Of that spot by purchase
stll holds good and will be observed
by His people. The prophecy concern
ing the scourging Of the Saints under
certain conditions from city to city
leaving but few to stand and receive
an inheritance, has been literally full
filled and we may confidently look for
the fuhlment Of the other prediction;
Zion shall not be moved out Of her
place, Notwithstanding her children
are scattered They that remain, and
are pure IN heart, shall return and
come TO their inheritances, they and
their children, with songs OF eyerlast-

that the real fruit is not always at

METHODIST CONFERENCE,


The quadrennal general conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
meets in the beginning OF next month
at Los Angeles, Cal, Delegates will
come from all parts Of the United

fields, and the gathering is looked upon
as one Of great importance to tho

expected from the various parts Of the
world, where missionaries are laboring.
In Corea, for instance, there is said

It might well embody the faith Of the

an extraordinary value to II; he called
II the Highest symbol OF perfected hui
man activity" The opinion Is fruitful
OF suggestion. 1t Is perfectly true, as
Dr. Hall asserts. that dancing has
meant a great deal TO the world" With
primitive peoples II has been sacra-
ment. There are correct old country
ladies who say they never see a ballet
without thinking OF heaven.
There are amusements and amuse-
ments. To some theaters and dancing
halls a sincere Christian would never
think Of going. He would be as much
out Of his proper element in some such
places, as bird in water or a fish In
the air He could not go In there and
come out unsullled, any more than he
could crawl through a chimney with
out showing spots on his clothes. But
the existence OF such places is no argu-
ment against legitimate amusements.
They can be avoided. The duty OF
Christians is to provide innocent enter
tainments for themselves and the
world, and leave all without excuse for
visiting those places, where they are
In danger Of moral pollution.
