dens, our souls aflame!-Rabbi Leon
Harrison, ST Louis, Mo.
What Is Required OF "a Church.
This is the idea of a church. The
community wants light. It wants to
be made perfectly sure where the great
lines Of life run. 1t wants to be assur-
ed that light, and not darkness. is the
essential victorious power of this uni
verse 1t wants not to doubt that JUS
tice and goodness reign in the skies
and traverse the earth 1t wants to be-
lieve that life at it's hardest and stern
est is yet amply and gloriously worth
living. It wants to see. not death, with
it's black jaws. awaiting at the end Of
the road, but the gates of life standing
open and making the face of old age
shine with hope. The church is set to
meet this need of greater light. A hun
dred, five hundred, thousand men and
women bring all the faith and hope
and love that they know and say to the
world: See, here is light. Here is
goodness eternal, truth immutabIe. the
shining ideals, the way to God! They
say this very feebly perhaps. There
is some trouble with their light that
makes it dim, but even these com
plants are a tribute to the worlds
need Of, precisely the quality of light
that a church is set to furnish.-Rev.
Charles F. Dole Unitarian, Jamaica
Plain. Mass.

poor, but among people of means.
The coal bunkers are empty, and the
dealers are not able to provide fuel
for immediate delivery at any price.
In the face of these conditions few of
the dealers hold out hopes of immed-
late relief, and some do not see relief
at all.
Most of the fuel men had exhausted
their stock of coal two and three
weeks ago, and but little has been re-
ceived since. The supply of wood,
which was short for the time Of year,
has since been he Willy drawn upon,
until none of the dealers have more
than 100 or $50 cords on hand. A
great many persons have stored wood
for the winter, and are for the time
being Independent of the dealers, but
it is estimated that as much wood is
consumed in Spokane in one day dur
ing cold weather as is now in stock
among all the dealers.

PAST RECORD
Is Now Supporting GOOding and
the MOrmOnS

In 1904, before the Boise States
man had been bought by Gooding
and the Mormons with over sIl, 600
worth of state printing, it printed a
series of editorials disclosing
thoroughly the polygamous practices
and political interference Of the Nor
mon church.
Now that Gooding and the Mormon
state administration has paid that
paper its price, the Statesman de-
clares that the Mormon issue is a
phantom issue. =
Appended are a number of its edi-
torial utterances, printed before it
got both hands into the state treas.
ury:
Friday, March 4, 1904:
lone thing was made very clear
that polygamy remains a doctrine Of
the church. President Smith declar.
ed himself believer in it, and ex-
planned that it had simply been sus-
pended by the manifesto of 1890.
The explanation is not new but evi.
dence of the president, as whole
throws a very strong light upon the
position Of the church in relation to
the subject. 4"
Wednesday, June 8, 1904:
TO this end the Republican party

coming convention similar to those
passed by the democrats lat the
Weiser convention. 1t should go
little farther, demanding that our
emasculated election laws be amend

on the subject Of exercise Of the right

Republican citizens should take
this matter in hand. make themselves
heard in every way possible. inelud-

the resolutions adopted by the state
