TO LEGALIzE EUTHANAsIA.

Readers of the daily preA1 reports
VIII have noticed thSt Miss Anna Hall
has succeeded IN bringing before the
Ohio legislature her bill legalizing
euthanaslu. The measure provides
that a person. who Is sick unto death,
ts OF sound mind and suffering great
agony, may ask a physician TO admin
lister an anaesthetic until death ensues,
the phymcian being required to con-
suit with three others before doing so.
The lady wept for Joy, when the legis.
Iators agreed TO consider her pet
scheme. evidently dot realizing that
the bill would lesliize murder. The
bill has not yet been enacted, and
should not be, as It certainly would be
made uce Of by designing persons to
get rid Of people whose cinging to life
prevented the realization OF some adj
vantage, real or fanried
The idea OF Miss Hall is, of course,
that fatal anaesthetios shoJld be adj
ministered only when the physicians
are convinced that death Is certain.
But when can the physician pronounce
Judgment with AVAILABILITY? The story
Ia told of prominent professor who
used TO say to his medical studeuts.

AN IMPORTANT EVENT,

One Of the questions which some Of
the Latter-day Saints discuss. as we
think without much profit, In predicatel
upon an imaginary condition that ~
very unlikely to arise We are asked
by II correspondent to state whether, IN.
case Of tho death Of the First Presiden-
cy and all the Apostles, 50 that not
one of them was left on the earth In
the flesh, the Quorum Of Seventy could
go to work and organize the Church In
the completeness that It Is at present"
OF course there Is bare possibility
of such contingency, but It Is highly
improbable, considering the prOmis -
OF God made to the Church IN the be-
ginning and renewed from time 10
time as It was built up. We might go
into this subject IN detail and show
what could be done under circum-
stances that might occur, but we will
sum up the matter In this way: Presi-
dent Brigham Young explained, that
while any man holding the Melchisedek
Priesthood In the spirit and power
thereof remained on earth, by the reye-
latlon ottGod to him he could go 10
work and organize the quorums in
their proper order, and that without
such revelation and direction. even an
Apostle could not do It,
For more detailed reply to the ques-
ton here touched upon, we refer our
correspondent and others interested in
the subject 10 a discourse delivered at
the last october conference, by the
editor OF this paper, as published In
the conference pamphlet, IN the Deseret
Evening News Of January IS and the
semi-weekly OF Thursday, January Is.
There need be no fear, however. AZ to
the perpetu,y Of the Church estab-
lished by the commandment of the
Most High on the sixth day OF April,
1880 nor OF the continuation Of the
authority OF the holy Apostleship re-
stored to earth by the ministration OF
the Apostles Peter, James ana John.
The promise OF the Lord to the Church
Is and has been that the keys OF that
authority shall remain, and shall not be
taken away nor be overcome nor be
left to another people.
To worry over something that Is not
likely to take place IL waste Of time,
and II Is a good thing to have IN our
souls the conviction that the fate which
overlook the Church through the mar
tyrdom OF the Apostles and servants of
God who held His authority in former
dispensations, will not come to It In the
dlspensation Of the fulness OF times, but
that the Church and Kingdom of the
latter days shall stand forever.

But his liberality and munlhcence do

The narrative 50 lacking In detail,

the aborlglnes OF this country have
preserved IN legendary form some
account OF the terrible caiaclysms that
have CONFUSED the American CONT

by authors Of the Book Of Mormon

ing that rocks we're rent In twain
