1t has been generally believed that
the Book of Mormon contains the
doctrines effecting the organization
, of the Church oil Jesus Christ Of
Latter-day Saints. While this is
true in a sense, it is No truer of the
Book of Mormon than of the Bible.
! The Doctrine and Covenants of the
| Church, a separate aad distine book,
contains the rules of faith and prac-

You will find the BooI Of Mormon
exceedingly interesting from many

careful study with a prayerful
heart you will be convinced that it is
true.
We bear testimony that It is the
voice of God to ancient America, as
the Bible is to ancient Judah We
ask you in all earnestness and sin

testimony, but to give it a fair test,
with real intent, having faith in
Christ, and He will manifest the
truth of it unto you by the power

THE BOOK OF MORMON

4 = p : Z
In this day of rapid advancement,
where all the fields of discovery and
science are calling for SO much of
our attention, it is not at all surpris-
ing that we should accept statements
made to US on some subjects, without
questioning the information.
In the year 1880. book was pub
lished, and although the first edi-
tion was limited to three thousand
copies, it has since passed through
many American and European edi-
tions and has reached hundreds of
thousands. 1t has been translated
into fourteen foreign languages. a
statement that would scarcely be
true of any other book, aside from
the bible. The Book of Mormon is
the book referred to.
America should have a history,
and the many ruins of temples and
cities point to a written history.
Surely people who were so well
advanced in the arts of sciences. as
the modern discoveries attest, were
in possession of written language.
The Book of Mormon is a portion
of that history, and gives a succinct
account of the people who inhabit-
ed this continent, and who were the
progenitors of the American Indian
When it was first published, this
seemed an extrayagant assertion
but like many other truths, that have
been rejected at their Introduction
as time passes, and discoveries are
made, the claims for the beck are
confirmed. Every ArchaeClogica'
discovery, in either Of the Americas
is witness for she Book of Mormon
A careful comparison ct rhe book
with what is known Of American
Antiquities, will demonstrate III,
truth of the above statement. Fol
his alone it is worth while.

INTERCHANGE OF
 TEACHING FORCES
Dr. McGracken Says Sweden
 Will Welcome Americans
LARGE FUND TO BE RAISED
Sweden Wants To Send Teachers Tc America and Wants American Teachers To Swap Places
 With Them.

New York, April 17.-Dr. H. M. Me Cracken, chancellor of New York uni versity who has visited the Danish, Nor wegian, and Swedish universities to in- troduee plans for an interchange of pro fessors, returned home today on the steamer Mauretania.
 Speaking of his mission to the Scandi- navian universities, Chancellor McCrack- en said: Before going away, became interested in the movement. started by the Danish-American committee, the Nor wegidn-American committee and other candinavian-Ameriean organizations in America, for an exchange of professors between the universities of the United States and those of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. When those people learned that I was abroad they communicated with me- asking that I visit the Scandi- navian universities and later I received formal invitations from the universities themselves.
 T found the Scandinavian people very much interested in the project of an ex- change of professors with the universities of America. To my mind they are the nearest to us of any of the people of continental Europe, not excepting the Germans. We are more nearly connect ed with them by race than any of the others except the Germans, and then, too, to my mind, they are very much like us. They remind me very much of the Scotch and Seotch-Irish Americans.
 King Haakon of Norway, with whom my son and myself lunched, impressed me as being a man of unusual intellect. He displayed a knowledge of political economy and allied sciences which would easily qualify him for a professorship in an American univ ersity.
 "The universities of Scandinavian pie, democratic and untrammeled by ideas of cast and tradition. In this respect they are more like similar in stitutions in the United States than like those of England. I lectured at the Swedish University of Lund, and at the universities in Copenhagen and Christiana, and found the professors in all three places up-to-date and, progressive Conditions are ripe for an interchange of teachers with the United States. They told me that there were 100000 people of Scandi-  navian birth and ancestry in America, and that all that is necessary is for | tn em to raise fund for salaries 'rhe income from a fund of $200 900 1 which would be between $8000 and $10,- l 900, I think, would be sufficient for l the purpose, and it could probably be 1 raised easily by the Scandinavian American societies, and by the Scandi- | navian universities. Even $5000 ought to provide expenses for the interchange of three professors for several months 1 of each year. We could send one pro- l lessor to each of three countries on 1 the other side one year. and they 1 could send three here the next. With l $10,000 we could make an exchange i each year. I found that nearly all the professors in the countries which l would be concerned speak English, so there would be no obstacle of lang 1 uage."

MEMORABLE EVENT
 COMES TO A CLOSE
SAN DIEGO CITIZENS WILL ERECT A MONUMENT IN MEMORY OF THE VISIT OF THE AMERICAN BATTLESHIPS.

San Diego, Cal, April 17.-Wth sailing orders issued for o'clock tomorrow morning, the stay of the American bat tleship fleet in San Diego practically end ed tonight The visit of the 16 ships to this port always will be looked upon as memorable event in the citys history and plans are already under way for the erection of a commemorative monument in the citys park where the official well come was extended on Wednesday last.
 A ball to the junior officers of the fleet tonight at the Hotel Del Coronado proved to be the most spectacular of the social entertainments that have marked the four days of the fleets presence in local waters. The decorations were elaborate to an extreme. Flowers were banked about the alcoves and balconies and the air was heavy with their mingled per- fume. Yellow poppies of California had large place in the decorative scheme and there was also a wealth of Cherokee roses, wild violets, carnations, and the myrads of blossoms that are perennial under the warmth of the southern sun. Sixteen electric stars represented the six teen ships, and beneath each was sus- pended a life buoy fashioned of white flowers and bearing the name of one of the vessls of war. Flags and bunting formed canopy over the room, and red, white and blue effects in electric light ing completed the setting.
 Large liberty parties came ashore from all of the ships today, and the sailors found all sorts of amusement provided for them. Free matnees at the theaters, a Wild West show, baseball games, and varied sports made the time in town pass all too quickly for the bluetackets and marines.

WARNED BY DREAM
 JAlLER IS IN TIME

Chattanooga, April 17.-A special to the Times from Bristol says:
 You may write me down as believer in dreams said Chief of Police Sam D.. Keller of Bristol, Va, today. The chief had been aroused at midnight by a vivid dream that the state prisoners confined in the city jail, five in humber, were about to escape. Leaping from his bed he hurried to the jail. Putting his ear to a keyhole, he heard the sound of the rapid ly moving saw that was surely cutting the hinges of the door to the main corri- dor. But for his timely arrival every prisoner in the jail would have escaped.
 The chief placed the men in the stage and sent them on the first train after daybreak to the Smith county jail at Marion Va for safe keeping.

RECENT BATTLE ON
 PERSIAN FRONTIER
RUSSIANS ATTACK THE PERSIAN TROOPS WITH VlGOR AND IN FLIcT HEAVY LOSS IN KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Tiflis, April 1.-The Russian troops which recently invaded Persian territory in the vicinity of Lenkoran for the pur- pose of punishing Kurdish raiders of the Russian garrison at the frontier post, Belesuvar, April 15, acted with a prompti- tude calculated to overawe the tribes of the first class near Belesuvar.
 The fight which ensued assumed the proportions of a pitched battle. The Rus sians were greatly outnumbered but they pressed the battle with great vigor and routed the Persians, inficting loss of Si men killed and 50 wounded. The remain der of the tribesmen broke and fled. The Russians lost one officer and seven sol- diers were wounded.
 The cannonade set fire to the village of Belesuvar, the destruction of which was completed by the Cossacks in a ruthless house to house search.
 Pressing their advantage the Russians bombarded the neighboring villages of Kodzhabeklu and zariah and razed both. The non-combatants suffered great losses.
 The theatre of war is in the mountain range of Karadagh, which wedges in the Russian boundary and is the traditional kingdom of robber tribes who boast thou sands of fighters with modern arms and organized with semblance of military discipline. The robbers had cut the tele- graph lines in order to hamper the mobil ization of an expedition which Persia g assembling against them at Tabriz The Russian expeditionary force now on Persian soil aggregates 400 Cossacks, a squadron of sharpshooters and bat tery of machine guns. It was intended to send much larger force there, but phe- nomenal flood of the Aras river flinders the concentration of endorsements from Baku and other points north.
