gestiOns to offer to the state depart

which it is believed will prevent the
United States from being entangled
in the settlement of the question of
Chinas neutrality at Shanghai.
We Are Not Interfering.
GoOdnOw had previously cabled the
state department telling of the appear
ance of the Japanese vessel in the
harbOr there. He made no mention
of the reported action of the United
States torpedo boat. 1t is asserted
positively at the navy department that
the United States fleet at Shanghai is
not charged with the protection of
Chinese neutrality by any special in
structiOns. No instructions have been
sent to Admiral Stirling to interfere
with the action of Japanese vessels.
Chauncey's Trip Was Not Hostile.
A press dispatch from Shanghai

destroyer Chauncey from Woosung to

CHURCH DISCIPLINE

The Salt Lake Ministerial association
listened this morning, to a paper on
1.-THE Pastor and Church Discipline"
by Rev. Richard Wake, The essayist
held that In utterly incorrigible cases,
the power of ecclesiastical law may be
rlghtfully invoked and the obstinate
offender cut off from fellowship. How
ever, very careful procedure Is neces-
s0ry, as sometimes sympathy Is awak-
ened in behalf Of the wrong doer. good
people become grleved and offended,
and expulsion may create bitterness IN
the church. Even sometimes the courts
are resorted TO. The pastors efforts
should largely be directed TO making
discipline unnecessary, for many Viola
tons OF Christian propriety are due to
ignorance or thoughtlessness, Ignor-
ance as to what constitutes a Consis-
tent religious profession may be RENEE

SERVICES At -
THE TABERNACLE.
Elder Samuel G. Spencer Speaks
OF the Small Things Of the
Kingdom.
WORD OF WISDOM REFERRED TO
Cites the Condition Of the World Re-
,igiously at the Present
Time.

The services at the Tabernacle yes
terday afternoon were presided
over by President Angus NJ
Cannon, and the speaker was
Elder Samuel G. Spencer, who referred
10 his missionary experiences and TO the
attitude Of the religious world at the
present time.
The choir and congregation sang the
hymn.
Come let us anew our Journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
Prayer was offered by Elder Duncan
NJ. McAllister.
The choir sang
Behold the great Redeemer die,
A broken law TO satisfy
Elder Spencer began by alluding to
the small things" Of the kingdom, re-
ferring particularly 10 the Observance
of the Word of Wisdom, which, said
ne, was fundamental requirement
which would enable men and women TO
do better and to reach higher plane
In the Journey Of life. The fundamental
doctrines Of the Church consisted in
honoring the powers Of virtue and up
rghtness in our daily lives.
The speaker pointed out that the
world was in a condition OF apostasY
citing in support OF this contention the
statement OF Paul In his epistle 10 the
Thessalonians that Christ would not
come save there be a falling away first,
and the declaration to the Ephesians
that In the latter days men should heap
10 themselves teachers having itching
ears and that they should turn away
their ears from the truth and should
be turned unto fables. He declared that
such was the condition OF the world
today and that this condition was In
direct fulflment OF prophecy.
Elder Spencer spoke Of an experience
he had while in the mission field, with
an Adventist preacher. whom he had
been invited 10 call upon. He did 70
when the preacher took occasion TO re-
vile him and call him a false prophet.
citing passages of Scripture TO show
that such should arise In the latter
days. Elder Spencer said he cited the
fact to him that the false prophets re-
ferred to should have a form Of Godli-
ness but would deny the power there
Of. which he admitted. He then drew
from him the admission that he was a
believer In faith, repentance and bap-
,ism. but when 1t came to the state
ment that "these signs shall follow
them that believe" the preacher was
not willing to admit that such things
should be characteristic OF the Church
today, therefore proving himself false
prophet by his own statements. Elder
Spencer also referred to the force OF ex-
ample and admonished his hearers to
live Alright.
The choir sang the anthem. "Rouse,
We Mortals," and the benedictlon. was
pronounced by Elder Rudger Clawson.
