Fine Pyroteehnle Display.
After a good rest. the citys guests
all turned out again this evening and
witnessed the magnificent display Of
fireworks on the top of Ensign peak.
This peak lies Immediately north Of
the city and is the highest point of the
Wasatch mountains. rising 1900 feet
higher than Temple square. The py-
rotechnic display is mighty feature
of the encampment week.
Salt Lake City has thrown open her
arms to the old soldiers. and never
has the Grand Army been more en-
Enthusiastically received or more gener-
ously entertained than at this en-
campment. Many thousands of the
veterans and their families and mem
bers of all the organizations allied to
the exercises and entertainments. and
are unanimous in their praise of the
treatment they have received.
Well Managed Encampment.
The old soldiers have been very
carefully looked after by the local
committee on public comfort and pri-
vate accommodations, and at the "a
information bureaus at the various
railway stations and convenient places
about the city. During the entire time
of the encampment these committees
have had the services of 800 high
school cadets. whose duties have been
to render every possible assistance to
the visitors.

chief. arrived here Saturday with his

On Sunday the city's guests began ar

day they came in so fast that the com

them all housed in such manner as
to avoid congestion in any part of the
city.
Big "Greetinss" Meeting.
Monday evening came the first pub
lie event on the program-a great
campfire in the assembly hall in the
Temple grounds. All that night and
throughout Tuesday the stream of ar
rivals continued, but by Tuesday
evesing practically all the visitors had
been received and distributed. That
night the greatest function of the en-
campment took place. This was the

Not the most credulous and believing prophet
generation ago could have forecast the world we
know and perfectly at home with to-day. Bull
wer Lytton in his short book, The Coming Race"
endeavored to tell the story and achievement Of
mankind in the day that was shortly to be, but his
seeming impossible world has been more, than re-
allied in cyn day. The half has not been told.
The great of the day is the large grasp human
life possesses over its own career and destiny, the
growing confidence that this old yet ever renewing
world is solving its problems, and, under the
guiding of that Providence which Popes well-known
lines so beautifully express:
All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not
All diseord, harmony, not understood;
All partial evil, universal good,

perfectly adjusted civilization The greater power

bodily life his mastery of the secrets of life which

these he is doing in this very
day with a miraculous confidence
and mighty faith. He has discov-
cred that his own commission oysr
life, over the happiness and health
and the fruitage of the life that
now is. as well as Of that which is
to come, is vastly larger commits
sion than the world hitherto has
dreamed of. He is finding out that
Providence is partnership and
that no man may be sleeping
partner in the business of living
without the penalty of losing the
very thing that life is--a world Of
potencies converted into achieve
ment.
This is the note, surely. as civil
lization faces the year 1910-the
note of competency, the sense of
added powers to life, the feeling
that the greater things are coming
on the earth, and that man ia us
ing the key to unlock the treasure
house of his own life with a sure
ness and wisdom that give prom
Use Of vastly better, richer, iuster
universe than he has yet known.
Another note of our time is the
fact that life mirrors itself in such
a wonderful way and the things
and forces that make for the bet

Of all men, We live in the open,
and no man may become champion
OF any cause and keep the world in
ignorance Of the character of the

his light under a bushel II is a
telltale world. and, more than any
past time, the world to-day has a
ulster sense of values and knows
both the things that are saving It
and the things also that threaten
. and endanger It. Public service
was never so responsible as It is
today. because civilization never
had the almost miraculous power
of analyzing ana testing the value
OF public service as in this present
year Public life is an open book.
and the most impossible of all I'm
possible things to-day is that any
national or international movement
should be misunderstood or misin-
terpreted by the worlds best mind.
And what is true of public move.
meuts is true of public men. No
public man can deceive his consut
uents to-day. for his constituents
are the world And the strong man
today is the man who frankly REQ
ognizes this.
