president designated three officials of

Of reporting to congress the exact

DR.. PADEN ON THE
FIFTH GOSPEL"
breaches Sermon on the Book
of Nephi.
DENIES IT is INSPIRED
READS AT LENGTH TO PROVE
HIS ASSERTIONS.

DR.. ". NJ. Paden preached at the
First Presbyterian church last evening
on The Fifth Gospel" or the Gospel
of Neohi"
The third book of Nephi" he said.
claims TO be a partial record Of events
which occurred on this continent dur
ing the first thirty three years OF the
Christian Era. It takes its name from
one Nephi. who, according to the book.
was made leader of the twelve when
Christ appeared to the ancient Ameri-
cans. This Nephi. it is claimed. wrote
an extended account Of events leading
up TO and including the appearance of
Christ on this side of the sea. This &C
count, as abridged and edited by one
Mormon. who is supposed TO have lived
during the fourth century, forms a part
OF the Book of Mormon, and is accepted
by many of our neighbors as containing
divine light on the life and work Of
Jesus. If the claims made in this book
are true, it deserves TO be accepted as
the fifth gospel. Is il such a gospel?
is the gospel according 10 Nephi
worthy addition 20 the gospels accept
ed by Christendom?
Quotes From Book of Nephi.
The sermon consisted principally Of
quotations from the Book of Nephi.
with comments. OF a portion Of it he
said:
The latter half of this sermon, If IL
is less original. is more scriptural Ma
terial for almost every verse of il may
be found in the Gospel or Revelation of
st. John, or in the Psalms or Gospel
according to st. Matthew"
After reading another quotation, he
said:
Does not the first half OF this sup
posed sermon sound like a crude fig
ment of the human Imagination, as the
second part sounds equally like a crude
" edited collection Of texts from our
accepted scriptures"
One portion the speaker declared was
an almost verbatim transcription of
the sermon on the mount. He called at
tentiOn TO the fact that what CORE
spends to the first beatitude in the Book
Of Nephi is, Blessed are We if We give
heed to the words of these twelve"
DR.. Paden read at length other selec-
tons from the work. His general con-
clusion was that there was nothing in
the book 10 indicate that il was in
spired, except as it was plagiarized
from the Bible.

Amendment Favored.

Having received all of this informa-
tiOn the commission has now reported
10 congress and has made some recon-
mepdations which will be disappOint-
ing TO those who have been so loudly
advocating that the land laws be wiped
off the statute books. The recon-
mendations favor the amendment of
the desert land act so as TO strike out
the provision permitting assignments.
They favor repeal of the timber and
stone act with a substitute permitting
the sale of timber at public auction,
and the repeal of the communication
clause of the homestead act is also re-
commended. 1t is doubtful if the re-
port. of the commission viii have much
weight with the public land commit
tees Of the senate and house. The
members of these committees have
their own ideas regarding land legis-
lation, and many OF them are of the
opinion that they are as well qualified
TO judge of conditions in the west as
the members of the commission. At
this late day in the session il is i'm
probable that radical legislation can be
secured. and it may be predicted with
reasonable certainty that the land laws
viii remain practically unchanged for
some time to come.
