THE THREE.vERSE RULE.

A great many members Of the Churen
complain about the stereotyped routine,
in choir and congregational singing OF
three verses only OF the hymns used In
the meetings Of the Latter-day Saints.
Very often the theme of the hymn de-
ponds largely upon the closing verses
which are usually omitted, The music
Is but one part Of the service OF song
The sentiment breathed IN the poetry
is another and essential part, This APP
pears TO be overlooked by some OF odr
choir leaders, and the regular tnree-
verge rendering prevails TO the extent
OF monotony. We suppose this custom
has come into use because OF the space
limit on the pages Of the Psalmody'
This. however. we regard ~ an insnih-
Client reason for the common limitation
The hymn books (which contain the
HYMNS IN their entirety can be used

qured. II Is no great stretch OF mem

KNOWLEDGE FROM TESTIMONY,

The Portland Oregonian expresses
the view that the Godhead IL entirely
outside the pale OF human knowledge
Man, our contemporary claims, can
have opinions on that subject, but no
facts are within his reach.
The occasion for this little dIsserta-
ton is given. A correspondent of the
0regonan sent the paper for publica-
tion a long 'disquisltlon' on that
subject, which WIS declined, with the
following remarks
I'VE might say further that the IT,
tie OF the piece-The Facts About the
Godhead to us misleading
Opinions About the Godhead' would
perhaps be better; for the doctrine NJ
the Godhead is itself an opinion, easily

human opinion, I'm Jewish, Greek, Egyp-
tlan. Persian aud Indian speculation
We think II II not too much 10 say
that there is no notion as TO the Cod
head which can be set down among
the yerit'es,'
The notion that nothing can be
known for certain about that which
pertains to the spiritual world Is en-
tertained by many. but it Is the out
come of illogical reasoning II takes
for granted that no one knows any
thing for certain except what he has
observed himself And because the
human soul. God, and the world be-
You'd the veil generally cannot be
seen" by the physical eye It con-
cludes that man can know nothing for

But such an argument does not con-
slider that testimony Is far more
abundant source Of knowledge than
personal observation. II a mans stock
of knowledge were limited to that
which he can gather from his own OBJ
servations, II would, IN most eases
be very meager, History would prac-

mony as an equally authentic source

Why not accept the testimony OF true
