A GLORIOUS RECORD.

Interesting statistics were given ot
the last general Conference of the
Church 10 was shown that the birth
rate in the various stakes is 80 per
1000. while the death rate In only 3D.
The marriage rate last year among the
Saints was 1876 per 1000 while there
were only is divorces of couples mar
ned Boo tho Temples. And these i'
divorce were not necessarily ot mar
riaecs contracted in 1909. Possibly not
o single divorce OF uarriago contracted
I'm that year occurred. The divorce Tal'
is given as .Ol6 per cent
These are instructive figures 81 come
parcd with the vital statistics of the
world at large The highest estimate
we have seen of the hirthr7te of On"
United states is 50 per 1000. Tho aver
age birthrate Of Germany is little
HIGHER. or 3G per 1000. while chat OFT
Ireland is said to Boz only % per 1000
Here Is the church with e birthrate
of 30 per 600 The average death rate
Tor the United states. as FAR as ascer-
tanned by the Census office I'm 1908. was
1873 por 1000. This covered the area
Of states and cities which have laws
and ordinances requiring the registra-
ton OF deaths. The death rate ot the
church Is less than 10 per 1000 OF
less than tho death rate of Insurance
COMPANIES that accept only perfectly
sound and healthy policy holders. The
divorce rate ln the United states Tor

and il has been calculated that II the
present Increase I'm divorces continues
we will soon have one divorce to every

with the statistics of the Church,
In other words. IN the Church the
birth rate mas been increased beyond
the general average. and the death rate
decreased considerably. The marriage
rate has been Increased and the d.
vorce rate lowered.
These are facts that cannot be CON
tradicted Like the fact that he who
was blind had his eyes opened, they
ar. a testimony to the divine power
that has produced them. The latter
day Saints have been taught temper
ance. and chastity. They have been
taught 10 abstain from injurious foods
and drink. not to indulge IN hlthy
habits but 10 be clean and pure They
have been taught 10 be- honest. upright
industrious and virtuous. and 10 live so
that they can enjoy peace Of mind ana
be happy and content. These teachings
may not always have been oheyed' but
10 a very large extent they have been

one OF the worlds noted modern
cathedrals is St Patrick's. in New
York. Much has been written about
It in the years that II has been built,
but, II l mistake not the story has

A. American citizens are aware by
this time, II is no easy matter to sec
the pope. The reason Is that the pope
has never relinquished his claim to tenn
poral power He regards the King Of
Italy az an insurgent and himself as a
prisoner in the Vatican Because OF
these strained relations between king
and pope anyone who desires to see
both Is under the necessity Of rcsorting
TO all kinds Of devices in order TO not
offend either. II seems that even SOW
ereigns who visit Rome II they see the
King first must go 10 their legations
which are. technically. foreign territory.
and from there 10 the Vatican. or
they must leave Rome and return for
an audience with the pope Unless
there were obstacles not apparent IN
the general public. the audience might
have been arranged somehow.

FLEEING FROM DRINK.


An interesting story il told by the
Christian Statesman showing that peo-
pie are attracted 70 the United statos
by the temperance movement
In Sweden, last year. there was
strike that lasted for five weeks and
affected a number of Industries. All
saloons were closed. The object lesson
given during those five weeks OF en-
forced temperance was very impressive.
as may be judged from the following
incident told by the Karlstad Tidnings.
"A Swedish teacher abroad for study
gave a patriotic lecture In the cabin
of North Sea steamer 10 Swedish emf
grants. After 10 was over a nice look
ing young fellow came up 10 him and
said Greet the dear old land for me
when you return. l should never leave
IL N the prohibition rescript continued
in force. You have a wife and children
To care for. / have "a good employment
always open to me In Stockholm but I
don't dare take il. For whole month
under prohibition l have been n free
and happy man. II il had continued I
should have stayed In Sweden, but
now / am making for some American
prohibition state where l can't get
drink And he was not the only one.
Other passengers said the same thing.
The five weeks had brought hope into
their life and they were going where
the law helped them rather than crush
ed them"
This Is as II ought to be. The land
that God opened as an asylum to all
who wanted 70 escape from the tyranny
OF tho Old World should also provide
cities Of refuge for the victims who are
pursued by the greatest enemy Of man
kind, the demon Of drink. And II would
seem that Utah ought TO be one Of
those cities of refuge.
