ANOTHER VETERi GONE.

With the death OF John Mcdonald

OF the early scenes In Church history.
has been called home. As young
boy he became acquainted with the
Prophet Joseph and his family, and
passed through the awful trials brought
upon the Saints by the lawless mob
He. however, remained faithful. and
came. with his folks. to Utah, and here
he has spent his entire life and energy
in building up the country and It's in
dustries He is now gone. He has
been called to his reward, as have
most OF the Pioneers and witnesses,
before him. But he has left his work
and testimony. as an inheritauce. in
worthy hands
Usually the message of death Is one
of sorrow and gloom. but in the case Of
a noble, faithful Latter-day Saint who
lives beyond the allotted time, In
useful activity. enjoying health, merit
ing the affection OF friends and the re-
spect Of fellowmen, death comes not as
a dreaded enemy but as one who has
been conquered and made a friend For
a life In righteousness conquers death.
II is the finishing touch. completing and
rounding out happy life. 1t is the
terminus Of voyage, an entrance upon
another stage of life. 1t is the begin
ming of another day.
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens tewelled crown
They shine for evermore.
There Is no DEATH The leaves may
fall
The flowers may fade and pass away:
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May
Born unto that undying life
They leave us but to come again;
with 10y We welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain
Brother Mcdonald is no longer here
IN the flesh. but his work as citizen
and o mcmber of the Church remains.
And We ali feel grateful for such men,
through whose faith and endurance
progress Is possible.

now received a sample of card print

DISEASE AND HEALTH.

a copy Of Or. James Hegyessy's book,
Must Women suffer Everlastingly,"
and a personal letter I'm which the Doc
tor asks our opinion of H. We answer,
Il is n great book The Doctor says:
Il have made IL my task to spread

Dr. Hegyessy describes sickness as
IAN effort Of the body to eject retained
poisonous waste matters OF the food
taken into the body" This definition
was very common some years ago
among a certain class Of doctors, before
the microbe was thought of as the
cause OF all ailments. and perhaps
there Is more In II than Is now COM

that II the skin. the lungs, the bowels,

the food generally taken contains more

mentioned do not always do their fun

US quote.
There are many kinds Of retained
waste found in the body The man
who eats too much meat will have one

FUTILE ENDEANOR.

The futility OF the attacks OF the
adversaries upon the church has been
so often illustrated. that their contin-
uatlon is very remarkable. Dogs get
tired OF barking at a passing train and
give up the foolish pursuit But man Is
not so wise. A few years ago promi-
nent anti Mormon" who made money
out of that business, expressed himself
to the effect that the history OF the
Church proves that anti "Mormonism is
in vain. Whenever it is supposed that the
Church is near the brink Of destruction
something always turns up that defeats
the plans and the Church is trium-
phant. It cannot be otherwise. For
il is not the work of man.
These reflections were suggested by
a communication from a lady in Ari-
zona. The lady had received letter
containing a page from The Herald and
Presbyter. in which Christian pub
lcation was found an article full OF
the usual anti" Mormon" venom. The
clipping was forwarded by Rev gem
tleman who undoubtedly thought that
il would turn the recipient of the let
ter from her faith. but IL had the OPP
posite effect as is almost invariably
the case. The lady writes 10 Inc
