A CHURCH DISpossESSED.

The British House OF Lords has rem
dered an ecclesiastical decision which
has caused much comment ia church
circles. BY II the United Free Church
uf Scotland has been declared not en-.
titled TO certain church property.
The Free Church OF Scotland came In
to existence In 1siS, when 40 members
separated themselves from the estab.

ment grew rapidly and the dissenting
church accumulated property estimat-
ed at the value Of $4,000 900,
The United Presbyterian church was
formed in lSl7 by the union OF certain

DISCOVERIES IN ETHIOPIA.

The New York Journal has received
a cable from Paris IN which II Is stat
ed that, according to letter from
Abyssinla, an important find has been
made In that country, consisting OF a
record OF the visit OF the Queen OF She
ba 10 King solomon IN Jerusalem, II
Is papyrus manuscript, and II II Is
genuine, II Is OF the greatest value.
There can be no doubt that the Queen
caused record 10 be kept OF her re-
markable journey and experiences,
since the incident was by Jewish his
torians deemed important enough TO be
Incorporated In the sacred annals OF
the nation. And such record would
very likely be found IN Abyssinia, a
country that has been very much iso-
lated from the rest OF the world. The
hope is expressed that further valuable
discoveries may be made. As soon as
the translation OF this papyrus is nm
ished, the dlscoverer, M. Hughes lie
Roux. having received permission from
the Negus, viii make thorough search
OF the islands in Lake Zonai, where
the Abysslnians buried all antiquities
during the Moslem invasion, and he
hopes to make many valuable discoy-
cries In those places which. as far as
known, never have been visited by any
white man before.
According to Josephus, Saba was the
ancient name OF the city Of Meroe, and
the Queen OF Sheba came from that
place. The Abyssnlans credit the ira
dton that this queen was their ruler,
and that her descendants with the He
brew king. still occupy the throne. The
discovery Of documentary corrobora-
ton OF this tradition, would be Of inn
mense interest.

IGNORANT CRITICS.

We have received lengthy criticism
Of Professor ~ H. Nelson's book Sci
ontifc Aspects Of Mormonism." clipped
from the Brooklyn Eagle. The critic
quotes few para graphs, and seems to
profess holy horror AZ the logic they
contain but hc carefully avoids any
attempt at REPUTATION. That Is the
common attitude Of critics Of Nor
mouism'
The most singular feature Of this
criticism is this, that the author of It
manifests gross ignorance OF the sub
ject about which he endeavors TO en-
tighten his readers. He says that the
Mormon Bible" (whatever that may
mean) rs the Mormon's Bible. what
them he asks has Mormon 10 do
with the Bible of the Christians This
critic fancies that the Mormon" theo-
logy Is not founded on the Bible, but
on some other book The fact that
moulders Of public opinion still are ig-
norant Of the claims Of "Mormonlsm"
to recognition RS the religion OF Jesus
and the authors OF the sacred scrip
lures, Is ample justification for the pub
LEGATION Of such works as that Of Prof.
Nelson. Al the world, and especially
the critics, should know that the Lat
ter-day Saints Bible is not different
from the Bible Of other churches, that
they believe it as It Is, without the
addition Of the doctrines Of men, and
that they believe all that God ever has
revealed to man, as well az that which
He may still be pleased TO reveal
The world at large Is almost
totally ignorant OF what "Mor-
monism' is In public view It's theology
and philosophy are obscured by fanci-
ful tales spread broadcast by gossip
and rumor, sometimes thoughtlessly
and sometimes with malicious intent
Christianity in the FIRST centuries, IN Its
conflict with the world had very much
similar experience. It's message APP
peared in the light Of blasphemy 10 one
class and foollshness to another. The
very idea that the salvation OF the
world could IN any way be dependent
upon the death, on Calvary Of one con-
demned both by ecclesiastical and civil
authorities met with rldlcule every
where. TheologIans, philosophers, sa-
tirlsts all united In assaults upon what
was deemed dangerous superstition"
and malice added to the confusion OF
the conflict by ascrlblng to the Chris
tians all manner OF wlckedness. Such
was, as all conyersant with history
know the disadvantages under which
the religion OF Jesus In the first CEN
turtles was proclaimed. And yet that
religion embodles the highest truth, in-
culcates the noblest morality, and re-
Neals the most beautiful views OF the
future, "Mormonlsm," which Is the
Christianity OF the first centuries, has
today similar experience. A world

Christ comes to every one OF us In our
sin and sorrow and offers forgiveness
and peace. We look up into His face
and ask for what He has promised,
and we hear Him say. as He once said
TO a sick man who had been brought
to Him for healing Thy sins, which
are many are all forgiven" That man
went his way, believing what Jesus
said. DO We go? DO we pass on to our
duties according to the word OF CHRISTI
Some do. and find peace. They do not
doubt that all their sins are forgiven.
Many do not. They want to feel some
wonderful transformation then and
there, They do not go their way ac-
cordlng to Christs command they do
not obey, and so receive no blessing.
And, so long as they refuse to obey,
viii they fail to receive; for heaven
has no help for those who do not obey
Christ. Peace, heaven, belong only to
the obedient.
