years ago. But for a long timc-for ten
years before l decided that the whole
Mormon system of theology was based on
fraud and fakcry-my eyes were able to
see the greed, bad faith and selfisli as
piratlons OF the leaders OF the church.
My first doubts as 10 the sincerity.

the higher priesthood were awakened by
their conduct in the Moses Thatcher cpl

Brother Wins. has been lost somewhere
In the backwoods and has not fallen TO
the fact that his co,workers against the
Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints had long ago abandoned the hope
that they could contend against Nor
monism on scripture grounds They
the Bible and against the New Tcsta-
ment. They can deny the Christ and
they can deny Ills resurrection from the
dead and the glorious redemption that
Hc has brought to ths world.
"Thcy may do all that, but they can
not meet us on scripture grounds. Why?
We believe in the scriptures. VIC are
built upon the scriptures and their truth.
We are built upon the foundation OF
apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ him
self is tho cornerstone. They cannot

against The Church OF Jesus Christ of
Latter day Saints build up man Of

never received that We do not advocate.
conjure up these propositions In their
own minds and then proceed with all the
eloquencc and fcrvor of their souls to
tear In pieces the imasinatons of their
own minds. They do not fight Mormon

MUSIC LOVERS
PLEASED WITH
CLEVER ARTISTS

well filled house greeted the
Kellogg -Haines Concert company, the
second number of the lyceum course,
at the Congregational church last ev-
ening. A very attractive program
was presented by the quintet of pleas
| ing performers. and while there were
| some points that severe musical
critic might find to criticise. yet the
entire performance was so good that
| 1t left pleasant taste in the mouth"
of everyone present.
The evening opened with a mixed
quartet arrangement of Strauss
Blue Danube" and in response to an
encore My Rosary" was very deli
cately rendered.
Mr.. Goldberg, baritone. sang. by
request, that very difficult solo The
opera III Pagliacci." While his voice
selection yet his Interpretation of 1t
was so good that he was recalled and
sang II Know Lovely Garden"
The mixed quartet then gave the
famous "Melba Waltz Song" in Ital
ian and followed It with a clever rem
dition of the Creole Love Song"
The Jewel Song from Faust"
was Miss Lotta Fahlen's contribution,
as soprano soloist. While not a
strong voice yet her range was suf-
ficient to compensate for the lack of
volume. Her middle register notes
were very sweet. Il Have a Little
Shadow" was her encore number.
A male trio composed of Messrs.
Eichenberger, Breach and Goldberg
introduced a novelty in the Italian
ballad "Ciribiribin" and followed it
with "On the Road to Monterey 1t
is not often that one hears three male
voices that blend and balance so well
as did these. Generally a quartet is
required to secure proper distribution
| of volume and tone.
a character number in costume was
the mixed quartet Where Are You
Going My Pretty Maid?" and IL was
cleverly done. In response to an en-
core representa- lion of a German
music director and his class was given
which was highly appreciated for its
comedy features.
The old favorite from Lucia di
| Lammermoor" by the quartet was re-
ceived with pronounced approval
William James Breach, the accom-
panist of the company presented
novelty number of his own which he
named "pianologue." His imper-
sonation was that of the spirit of an
old piano which had been played upon
by masters but had fallen into evil
DAYS in boarding house. His delin-
cations. with musical obllgatos were
exceptionally fiAsand the unique
offering made decided hN with the
audience.
His encore number was q tieveri
little "talking song" concdrning the
small boy who had the mYmps
The final number of the program
was blended scene from Martha"
in which the entire company partici-
pated. The spirit of Won Flotow's ere
alton was well carried out. The
quaint costumes gave a pretty dress
to the scene. Well rendered was the
Spinning Wheel" quartet, and Miss
Fahlen's Interpretation of THE Last
Rose of Summer was very artistic
indeed. The afterpiece closed with
the Goodnight, song. which was
very effectively given. The lights in
the auditorium were extinguished,
leaving the quartet invisible save for
their features as they showed in the
shaded candle light.
1t was an entertaining evening and
there was but one real regret and that
was that Mrs, Moncrieff. the contralto
was not heard more in solo work.

FINANCIAL MARKET
Bank Reserves Show Slight I'M
movement in Actual Statement.

On a restricted volume of business, OF
which more than one-half was supplied
by Anaalgaraated Copper. Reading.
United States Steel and Union Pacific,
stock market prices moved in an irreg-
ular manner in the brief session of trad
ing. with final changes at small net
losses among the larger number of prom
inent issues. There was. however. a
firmer tendency toward the close as a
consequence of covering of shorts Com
mission houses were not active, and the
public was negligible factor. Efforts
to arouse outside interest were made in
the early dealings by the circulation of
bull tips on various issues, especially
American Beet Sugar and the metal
shares. Rumor mongers announced that
good news might be looked for affecting
United States Steel Corporation, but the
stock did net act up to the report, its
last quotations showing small net loss,
while the bidding up of American Beet
Sugar failed to attract a following. AS
rule speculation was intensely uninter-
esting, and presented no basis Tor pre-
diction as to the immediate course OF
prices, although after the close OF busl-
ness il was thought that the relatively
favorable bank statement might encour-
age transactions for higher levels IN to-
morrow's market
Clearing House figures showing the
actual position of the banks as OF FRIDAY
night were much better than those or
the average exhibit the latter represent
ing the losses made at the close or the
preceding week and earlier in the week
under review. In the actual statement
loans presented decrease of more than
$4,000, 0O0, which offset the decline IN
cash so far as reserve was concerned,
that item advancing s2.0O6.475 TO $685.
S25. comparing with an average reserve
of s5,945.3 300, against s4,547,150 at this
time last year and S34,707,225 in 1sOs.
In spite Of their contraction loans are
still heavily in excess of deposits. Inc
firmer tendency in call money in the
week IS reflected in an increase IN trust
company loans Of $12,647,600. Bank re-
serves. while somewhat larger than re-
ported a week ago, are still too light 10
warrant aggressive bull speculation IN
stocks, but if the demand for accommo-
dation continues as inactive as noted IN
recent weeks there need be no fear OF
disturbance in the money market, al
thought the cotton bill OF ladlng sltua-
ton may develop reasons for h1gher
