TINE NV ERA

Tho last % years have witnessed a
tremendous change in the conceptions
Of man regarding both scientific ana
practical subjects. The theory Of evo-
lntion has given rise 10 "a now natural
history New conceptions OF nature, Of
animal life. and OF man have come into
existence, and phnosophic reasoning

side by side With this. a new theology
has been formed. Biblical criticism has
done this. II has broken up the old
Testament into history, poetry. ana ie-
rend. It mas dared 70 correct one sa~
cred historian BY the statements Of
another. Il has discovered that the
New Testament writer's were not al
ways 10 perfect harmony one with an
other and that the human element
was not eliminated when they wrote, or
spoke. II has asserted that even Paul
grew in knowledge and understanding
as ne advanced In years. II has ia
many Instances gone TOO far 10 'criti-
cism," but IL has nevertheless given 70
The world some important truths. first
recognized by the Prophet Joseph ana
the founders Of the Church, and 70
Theses truths il is due that the age has
felt the need Of a now theology.
In tho matter Of sanitary conditions
and the treatment OF diseases a new
era has also dawned The new condi-
lions are reflected in the FALLING OF in
the use OF drugs. Not only have men
tai healings attained great popular
ity but physicians generally have
come TO regard nature as the only true
healer. German and French physi-
cians have made the greatest progress
tn this direction and the effect Of their
teachings is said TO b. felt more and
moro every year In the more advanced
American hospitals. According to the
washington Post. at the Massachusetts,
General hospital for Instance. drugs
have been eliminated In the treatment
o. about one patient in seven. In Euro
pan centers Of medical learning the
proportion Of drusless treatment Is
even greater, Il is said. The out-of-
door life which Increasing members OF
Americans have been living for de-
cade past. and the love OF froe-air
sports is making a stronger healthier
race. And when they do get sick they
resort to more natural methods Of
treatment than those that prevail dur
ins the age OF jalap. ipecac, and colo
cynth. or whatever were the poisons

forgetting blood-letting. But every
thing is new.
IL is necessary TO recognize this adj
vancemont IN every direction, lest we

FOR PROHIBITION.

The anti-saloon league is sending
out forms for a petition to the 1ngisla-
ture. 10 be signed BY all who desire
state law providing for Prohibition.
Leading members OF the league state
that their FIRST intention was TO ask
for local option, because they did not
dare 10 hope that Prohibition could be
obtained at once But they have
found they claim. an overwhelming
popular sentiment among all classes in
favor Of Prohibition, and therefore
they believe the time is ripe for pro-
hihltive legislation.
The question has been asked by ac-
tive members OF the league what the
position OF the Church is on the tenn
persnce question. That position was
defined by the October conference when
the following resolution was adopted
unanimously.
Believing IN the words and teach
lngs OF President Joseph 4. Smith. as
set forth this morning on the subject
OF temperance, a. is proposed. therefore.
