Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmase, d. ID.

Los Angeles, Cal. April l4-In this
sermon we learn the lesson that II we
do our full duty to God and society
much of our lives must be devoted to
foundation laying and seed planting
for the benefit of those to come after
us. The text is John ". 81. Zone SOW
eth, and another reapeth"
Christ Is here describing a group of
workmen going forth to their labors.
Each laborer carries upon his arm a
bag full of seed. They fiji their hands
with the seeds and begin to scatter
them far and wide. Finally one Of
these la borers turns and says to Christ:
"Why. Jesus, for what am | planting
these seeds? will never live long
enough to gather the harvests in this
world" NO" answers Christ. Il know
it. But the coming generations Will
gather the harvests of your seed plant
ing As your ancestors planted seeds
from which you are today gathering
harvests, SO you must plant seeds that
your children and children's children
may gather thelv harvests." In other
words. the great lesson of this text is
that I'VE ourselves may die and he for
gotten. but our works shall live on. and
other men may get the credit Of the
work" Come, let me read to you the
text In full; "And herein Is that say
Ing true. one man soweth, and another
reapeth."
Every generation builds upon the
tombs and the catacombs of previous
generations. This fact Is emphatically
true In both the scientific and the in
dustrial world 1t Is true of the houses
In which we live, and the railroad
trains and steamboats, In which we
travel, aud the food that we eat, and the
clothing that we wear. and the electric
lights by which we see. and the books
that we read. 1t Is true In almost all
the industrial developments Of life. 1t
Is also true TINT the men who made
these Industrial developments possible
themselves. as rule, got very little
reward out of their inventions or I'M
provements.

Franklin's Question.


When Benjamin Franklin was max
ing his electrical Investigations. people
used to laugh at him. One day he pro
duced the proof that lightning and
electricity are Identical. Then the pep
pie again began to sneer and say,
well. even If that is true, what is the
good of the discovery?' what Is the
use of chiId?" answered Franklin.
1T may yet become man. This truth
is now only In Its infancy. You can
not foresee how 1t may he applied and
into what power 1t may yet be devel-
oped." Did not the "chlld of electrici
ty" grow into amazing strength? Long
after the sage of Philadelphia was
buried Galvani and Volta and Oersted
and Joseph Henry and Faraday and
Sir Humphrey Davy and Gramme and
Morse and Edison and Cyrus Field got
to work, and with this far reaching
truth discovered by Benjamin Franklin
as basis they developed power to
run our street railways, and power to
turn the wheels Of factories, and pow
er with which to scatter the darkness
of the night, and power with which to
send our messages under the seas.
Could Benjamin Franklin awaken now
from his grave truly he would not rec
ognize the face Of his "child of electric
ity." He planted the seed Of electrical
development but others have garnered
the harvests. Zone man sOweth. and
another reapeth."
Many years ago poor Yale student
who had tendency to consumption
was living In South Carolina In the
home Of the widow Of General Nathan
ael Greene. While there he met some
southern planters who were bemoaning
the fact that the chief profit OF the cot
ton industry was lost because no ma
chine had yet been invented which
could separate the cotton seeds from
the cotton. Young Ell Whitney, for
that was the Yale students name, went
to work and labored on month In and
month out He perfected the cotton
gin, but before he could get patent
he had his workshop was broken open
and the machine was stolen. and his
ideas were patented by other men. Ell
Whitney, the man who has made mil
lions of dollars for the south, the man
who has doubled and quadrupled and
infinitely increased the earning ca
pacity Of the southern plantations-poor
Eli Whitney himself never got dollar
from his cotton gins save the poor pit
lance of $4,000 granted him by the
legislature of South Carolina. Like
Robert Fulton with his steamboat, like
Morse with his telegraph wires, like
Watt with his steam engine like
George Stephenson with his locomotive,
like r. A. Holden, the agronomist, and
Burbank, the wizard of flowers and
vegetables. these men have been seed
planters. They have made millions Of
dollars for other men; but, like Agassiz.
they have not had time to make money
for themselves. Zone man soweth, and
another reapeth" One generation
plants the seeds of the industrial world,
and another generation reaps the har

brings a message of love, to an
other hope and to a third the
depths of despair.
The generality of people are
delighted to receive letters, bat
dislike answering them. Now,
to neglect this duty is to bring
unhappiness or keen disappoint-
ment to another, disappointment
which we cannot perhaps for a
moment conceive. Think of a
brother in far-off lands eagerly
watching every mail for home
messages, the delay of which
causes him days of heart hunger
and weary longing. Just a few
minutes, and the letter breath
ing remembrance and encourage
ment, and having the power to
cast away all gloon, would be
well on its way; and yet the writ
ing of this note Of gladness is
postponed for another day, and
SO it goes on until time lapses
into weeks, and then we excuse
ourselves by saying we are
ashamed to write.
A mother is waiting and wait
ing. / have seen more than one
whose chief delight was a letter
from her absent son or daughter,
but the son was busy and
through his neglect to writ made
them thoroughly miserable.
Consider it a duty to write
cheerful letters and, if you hav-
emit anything cheerful to say,
hunt till you find something.
You won't have very long
search. If the sun doesn't shine
today it will tomorrow, or per-
haps the day after, and if the
winter is dull the summer will
come in its own appointed season.

HAYWOOD'S TRIAL.


The prosecution in the Hay
wood has finished it's case against
Haywood, save its rebuttal evil
dence, and has utterly failed to
connect Haywood with the muir
der of Steunenberg, save Orch
ards testimony ard no one can
believe him under oath. Out of
the $50 witnesses the prosecu-
ton claimed to have only Is
were put on the witness stand.
This case will cost the State in
the neighborhood of 500, 900.
Instead of Canyon county stand
ing the expense of the trial as
it should do, Gooding and the
Republican legislature saddled
the debt on the State.
1t is almost sure thing that
the jury will not convict Hay
wood. 1t may disagree. The
defense have plenty Of witnesses
to prove that Orchard has lied,
and if he has Lied in one instance
his whole testimony fails. He
has told q remarkable story, and
probably written by Mcfarland.
His confession and religion is
merely to free himself from the
rope. He was undoubtedly led
to believe if he would confess
and implicate the Federation
officers in the Steunenberg muir
der, he, Orchard, would be given
his freedom,
Friends of the prosecution are
dazed and amazed-out claim the
state is holding back to present
its full case in rebuttal, after the
defense has shown its hand.
This seems incredible, after all
these months of delay and sec
recy. Even the friends declare
such action must show u bluff
game.
Friends of the defense are jub-
ilant-hardly able to credit their
senses. Is it possible this is all
the terrible proof Gooding and
MCFARLAND promised Hay
wood declares he will be free If
six weeks. The crowd of wit
nesses the defense has ready
will overwhelm Orchard in con
tradictions and expose him a,
the most monstrous liar OF tn,
age.
So we wait for the next few
days. This week will show i

HON. o. j. SALISBURY.

Salisbury was not unexpected,
and still it is q great shock. 1t |
is but few days since he was
on the street, and to those who
did know his condition there was
no sign that the great change
was so near.
He has been citizen of Salt
Lake for twenty years. From
the first day of his coming he
has been a prominent citizen, for
his fame had preceded him. He
was one of the pathfinders of the
West. His first work was to
draw the connecting links of
steel together that first bound in
close alliance the West to the
East. The story of his life
would, little enlarged upon,
make the history of this West.
He scaled its mountains; he trav
ersed its deserts; he helped to
open it's mines; from first to last
he by example and practice was
an Inspiration to men to work, to
hope, to fulfill their duties, to
live upright lives. He has been
true to his country all his life.
He believed that a land which
opened such opportunities to its
children should have around it
the supporting arms of every
one of those children. He be-
lieved the Republican party had
less defects than any other polit
ical party; hence he was an in.
tense Republican. He never
faltered in his allegiance to it
except in 1896. In that year he
believed the best interests Of the
whole country demanded the
election of Democratic Presi.
dent. And he was right, from
every standpoint that any West
3 ern man could view the situation.
But that did not change his prin-
ciples in the least. There has
been much in the politics Of Utah
that grieved him, but all the
time he believed that the evils
here might be cured without a
political revolution. This lie
worked for. 1t was the State of
his adoption; he wanted to love
it as much as,he had always low
ed native land. He hoped that
while yet alive he would see the
clouds break and roll away; that
when at last his work should be
finished he would see Utah so re-.
deemed, regenerated and Olsen.
thralled, that he would be serene
in his confidence that his child
rem would have here an even
field in which to strive for for
tunes and high names.
His hold upon bis friends was
very strong. They have long
hoped thai they would see the
very highest honor that State
can give, bestowed upon him.
We believe that if he desired
that honor, it was more for those
he loved than for himself. Per
sonally he loved his home better
than any spot on earth. There
was no happier home in all the
land than his. 1t was a home Of
perfect affection and absolute
confidence. The grief in thai
home now is most pitiable i
has been smitten with repeated
sorrows. One loved one aftel
another has been taken, and nov
the head, he who all the res
leaned upon, has been taken, ant
the grief is unspeakable.
God pity the stricken wife an,
children. God rest the soul o
Linn who has gone. Goodwin

Il have experienced the three worst.
"Of these three unspeakable climates

rainfall of 189 inches. There are, too,
the Smokes These are mists, SMELL

ually out of the marshes, giving marsh
fever to nine out of every 10 men
that breathe them. A year round of
hot and sticky days, with vile-smelling
clouds of mist and whirring clouds OF

Last comes the high table lands Of
