MR. NUTTING REPLIES.

over month ago we copied from
sectarian paper, and commented on. a
scurrilous attack upon the Latter-day
Saints in general and their theology in
particular, for which Rev. John d.
Nuttlng was quoted as authority. That
gentleman. in a letter dated New York,
May IL. denies having written the ar,
ticle in question. though. as he admits.
part of 1t was from a letter OF his to
the editor and the other part was COM
piled from his writings. He says:

After this queer mixture of denial and
acceptance OF responsibility for the au-
thorship of the slanderous article. he
asks for space in the News for what
is virtually another attack upon the
doctrines OF the Church
We care not to reopen the discussion
with the Rev gentleman. except to
note that Mr., Nuttng. In his lettor,
makes this suggestion:

Mormon, win make out statement or

OF our Church doctrine"
In the Address TO the World, adopted
at the Conference, April 8. 1907, the
position OF the Church was stated
thus:
THE Church OF Jesus Christ OF lat
ter day Saints holds 10 tho doctrine
Of the separation Of church and state,
the non-interference Of church authors
~ IN political matters, and the abso-
lutte freedom and Independence OF tie

has been conduct at variance with this
doctrine. il has been IN violation Of the
well settled principles and policy Of the
Church"

the divorce mill. which grinds go
merrilp on in our courts, does not aba,e
its pei sistent output of the product of
unhappy marriages, how would it
please our youths and maidens to try
the Japanese way OF making matches?
a dispatch from Seattle announces
the arrival there of a bevy of AZ dusky
brides for whom tho immigration Of
fee is to find husbands. The procedure
Is simple enough.
According to the customs of old Nip
pom. the women are married to Japan
csc citizens OF this country, although
they have never seen the faces OF their
husbands except in the photograph
which acted as the groom's proxy when
the wedding ceremony took place in
the Orient. Bringing the picture OF
their husbands with them, the brides
have Journeyed across the Pacific, and
II the groom turns up, is identified by
means of the picture, and establishes
his right and ability to support the
bride. the happy couple will finally be
united at the immigration office and
leave on their honeymoon following q
supplementary marriage service here.
1t is said that the most desirable
class of proxy brides of which every
ship from the far East has its quota,
come from Yokohama, where they are,
as rule, of a higher intelligence and
education than from Kobe, where the
majority of the women on the shinano
formerly lived.
The immigration agents declare that
during the last two years the work OF
the immigration office has grown SO
rapidly that in spite of additions to
the force It is almost impossible to ham
die all the business of the office with
the desired despatch. A board OF spe-
cial inquiry is at work on various cases
practically all the time from the ar
rival OF one ship to another, and the
officials think, 1t will be only mat
ter OF q few months before a special
board will be delegated to devote all
their attention TO this work.
The Japanese way is less romantic
than the American fashion, yet has It's
advantages. Considering the number
of mistakes made nowadays in matri-
monial alliances. It might be a good
plan for the young ladies especially to
seek the advice of their parents before
making the marriage venture.

BIBLES ALWAYS BLACK.

Why should our Bibles always be

question put by Bishop Tugwell. fresh

with the Religious Tract society's one
hundred and nineteenth anniversary.
The bishop viewed with satisfaction the
many Bibles and prayer books OF the
society bound bright red cloth, in,
stead of the hitherto invariable black.

what Is melancholy. Bishop Tugwell
would no doubt appreciate the brighter
and more attractive colors for his
heather converts more especially. One
Is reminded In this connection OF the
now almost extinct black gown. to
which objection has been taken for the
same reason, the donning of which by
the parson before delivering his sermon
savored so much OF the judges putting
ON the black cap before pronouncing
the death sentence. whereas the gospel
message is one Of peace and life.
