not better than one. Two dollars are
better than one. How inconsistent is
the teaching that would interpret the
Savior as saying that poverty is inva-
riably a blessing. 1t is not blessing to
have little of the goods of this world
while others may have much. The bless
ing is not contained in the fact that the
quantity is small, but in the way we
make use of the quantity we have.
Every man and woman is capital
list. If he has not money to give he
has smiles to give. If he cannot give
money he can give words, he can give
advice, he can give influence. Every
one of us is capitalist And we are
not to thank Ged that we have so little,
but we are to pray to Him for more,
and at the same time to retain that
humble spirit that makes us feel un-
worthy of having more, but that will
cause us to strive our best to prove
worthy of it if it comes.

An English court has sentenced a
woman to imprisonment because she
refused to speak during trial. The
old penalty for remaining mute under
similar conditions was being pressed
to death. The form of sentence set
forth 'the prisoner shall be laid in
some low, dark house, where he shall
lie naked on the earth and one arm
shall be drawn to one quarter of the
house with cord and the other arm
to another quarter, and in the same
manner let it be done with his legs,
and let there be laid upon his body

or more" There the man had to lie

FIRST MORMON TEMPLE.
1t Was Massive Stone Structure
Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.

1t Was Massive Stone Structure
Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.
The first shrine of Mormonism is
still standing at Kirkland, Ohio. If the
occupants of the little cemetery near
it could rise, says the Ohio Magazine,
they would tell how many a fevered
zealot gave his lands, his home and his
all to provide funds for the building of
the temple.
1t was. in 1880 that Smith appeared
in Kirkland, and with his coming there
was a social revolution the like of
which Ohio had never witnessed. Hus-
bands left their wives and children,
mothers deserted their homes and ba-
bies were placed in the poorhouse. The
end came when Joseph Smith was COM
PEELED to flee the State of Ohio. The
temple was all left behind.
"a store house of the Lord" as
Smith called it, was begun in 1881 and
by 1884 was completed. It's foundation
was laid on seven small ridges, or hills,
in imitation of the Rome of old. The
dimensions were about so by 125 feet
The stone walls are two feet thick.
The temple stands to-day about as it
was when built On the first floor Is
the main audience room, filed with
walnut benches, surrounded by high
railing. The doors to the pews have
locks or catches, so that when closed
whoever is speaking is reasonably sure
of holding his audience.
At each end of the room series of
elevated thrones, one rising above the
other, marks the position during wor-
ship used by the dignitaries of Joseph
Smiths reign. Rows of hooks in the
ceiling show how the curtains which
were once used were arranged to divide
the floor into four apartments.
The floor above is bare and desolate
looking. About sixty chairs placed here
indicate that it is used as a sort of
lecture hall, but in the days of Smith
curtains divided this apartment just as
below.
Rollers fastened to the ceiling of this
second floor, together with a system of
pulleys, enabled the operator to raise
or lower the curtains of both first and
second floors at the same time In the
third story several partitions running
north and south make number of sep
arate chambers.
The Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, the body
which worships in this temple now,
tries to follow literally the book of
Mormon, which, be it known, prohibits
polygamy. The doctrine of plural wives
was one Of Smiths revelations" Yet
this sect defes Joseph Smith, polygamy
and all.

HAS A SINGULAR LIBEL LAW.
Australia Protects It's Citizens Who
Have Small Pride of Ancestry.


Have Small Pride of Ancestry.
The libel law of Australia is the
uueerest in the world. He who is sued
for libel there must not only prove
that the accusations he published were
true, but also that to publish them
was for the public benefit. Elsewhere
the truth of the accusation alone needs
to be proved.
An Australian sheepraiser explain
ed this queer libel law at wool SALE
Australia was practically colonized
by convicts," he said. "There is no use
denying this. The colonizers of Aus
tralia were convicts in the main.
1.-The descendants of these convicts
are now Australia's leading families,
the richest, the most influential, the
most intelligent, the most respected.
And yet these excellent people were
in the past at the mercy of every
editor. Let them get into the small
est squabble or dispute with some
editor and the man. would bring them
into general ridicule and contempt by
printing their ancestry, by showing
that Sir John Smiths great-grand-
father had been sent out for robbing
an old woman Of 81, or that Judge
Browns great-aunt, while employed as
servant girl, had tried to poison her
masters son, with whom she was in
love.
ut is undeniably true that the best
Australians have convict blood in their
veins. The newspapers that they quar-.
relied with used to taunt them with
their convict blood. Hence the present
queer libel law, which protects them
for, of course, 1t can never be for the
public good to publish that the grand
mother Of Judge So-and-So or the
great-uncle Of DR.. Blank was con
vict."

OUR FIRST LAW SCHOOL.

The humble structure in the picture
was the first law school in the country.
1t was situated at Litchfield, Conn.,,
and was established in 1884 by Judge
Tapping Reeve. 1t was in existence
for half century, and in that time 1t
had about 1000 pupils, some from all
of the thirteen original States. Among
its pupils were sixteen senators, fifty
representatives, forty judges, ten gov
ernors, five cabinet officials and two
vice presidents, one of whom was John
G. Calhoun.

THE POOR IN SPIRIT ARE RICH.

by heV. huSSell II. ConWell, ~. u.
Text-"Blessed are the poor in spir-
1t, for theirs is the kingdom of heav-
en."-Matt 5:3.
Blessed Is the man who takes a cold
bath to start the strenuous day. Blessed
is the boy who has to bear the burden
in his youth. Blessed is the man whose
dreams are full of unreal cyclones, fires
and wrecks. Blessed is the man whose
dream is filled with the funeral of his
wife and wakes to find her living.
Blessed Is the man who dreams that his
business has been ruined and wakes to
find it intact and prosperous. Blessed
is the man who dreams of sorrows that
might be and wakes to find them not.
Never does the Savior say 1t is bless
ed to be poor, although He did say that
the poor are sometimes blessed. He
does not say 1t is blessed for person
to have little when he could just as
well have much, or that two wings are

Only veneer virtues fear bad wealth

Things are without what they are
within.
There is little love in long distance

Orthodoxy is apt to be conformity

No favoring wind comes to him who
will not pull on his oars.
The more Of a truth a man knows
the larger liberty he finds in it.
The easiest way to fall out of the

VAST SUM SENT BY RAIL.

POstOfHce Department Saved ThOu-
sands at Expense of the Treasury.
Some years ago the Treasury De-
partment desired to transport $25,000,-
600 in gold from the subtreasury in
San Francisco to the subtreasury in
New York. The way they did it was
simple. They sent treasury postal
frank to the postmaster at San Fran
cisco, told him to stick it on to the
$25,OO000O in gold and deliver it in
New York. This that unfortunate Of
fetal under the law was obliged to do.
No further effort or worry on the part
Of the Treasury Department was nee
essary.
master at San Francisco carted the
$25, 100000 in gold under armed guard
to the Southern Pacific Railway sta
tion. There it was loaded on a spe-
cial train, each car Of which was
equipped with guards heavily armed.
This train was then sent across the
continent by circuitous route and
l
with all information concerning its
route and time sedulously concealed
from the newspapers in order to avoid
the danger of an attack from highway
men. After certain number of days
this train arrived at Jersey City.
The boxes containing the $25,000,000
in gold were taken across on the fer
ries, and New Workers were mystified
by the extraordinary spectacle of many
vehicles loaded with boxes upon which
were perched guards with rifles and
pistols This procession finally ended
at the subtreasury, where the Postoffice
Department was released from the GUS
tody Of the coin by the receipt of the
Treasury Department.
The little bit Of treasury transpor
tation cost the Postoffice Department
many thousands Of dollars and cost the
Treasury Department nothing at ALL

SIN AND RELIGION.
By Rev. Orrin R. jerks


Is there any power that can remove
the bloodstains of sin? Is there any
remedy that can cure the malady of
sin? Modern skepticism distinctly
says no. Professor Clifford says that
no God can forgive sins committed
against men any more than the Sultan
by pardon can clean the bloody hand
Of Pasha. But Christianity joins is
sue and says yes.
The greatest Of the prophets de-
clared: Let the wicked forsake his
way and the unrlghteous man his
thoughts and let him return unto the
Lord and he will have mercy upon him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon" Paul, the apostle of right
eousness, says: 1--WE have redemption
through His blood, even the forgive
ness OF our SINS"
1t is the purpose Of the gospel to
undo our wrongdOing, to repair the ir
reparable past, to open door Of es
cape from the dreadful harvest Of SOW
ing to the flesh. History is on the side
of this doctrine, Augustine, the profit
gate, was transformed into the father
of modern theology. John Bunyan, the
drunken tinker, was changed into the
! prophet whose vision Of pilgrim!
Progress" has regenerated millions o.
lives. John B. Cough, the inebriat'
seeking relief in suicide, was converted
into a preacher of temperance wh'
shook two continents into new era il
reform.

FAITH
By Rev. Roderick Terry, D. D.

Text-"But We, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost, keep your
selves In the love of God, looking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
unto eternal life. Jude 20, 81.
Were it not for the supreme and in
finite love of God we should have no
hope either for this world or for the
world to come, and the more deeply
we appreciate that love, and the more
strongly we cling to it, the more con-
fident may we be of our own future, and
the more will we be led to give unto
Him in return that love which He
seeks from us. And not less certain IS
it that only through the expectation of
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ can
we have hope unto eternal life, as it Is
the only hope which can sustain us In
the time of our weakness, of our sin,
of our despair.
Faith is in danger Of being under
mined by the human characteristics uni
versally found among men which make
| them unwilling to accept of and to live
up to it's moral and ethical teachings.
The standard of morality in the world
being much lower than that taught in
the Scriptures, all men are apt to suffer
their ideas to drift lower and lower in
sympathy with the ideas Of the world
Men will judge us, not by our living
as they see it, but by the life, life OF
character, personality in life, as they
learn to know it. God judges us, moi
by the material living, but by the i'm
material life as He sees it. This clay
will again turn to clay. But the char
acter we build, the life we live, the In
fluence we exert, the life we impart
the hope we strengthen, the faith we
encourage, these things will never die
