from June TO December, 1910, prices
remained nearly level and at the close
of 1910 they were still 80 per cent
higher than the ten-year average be-
tween 1890 and 1900 and 45.4 per cent
higher than the record set by the high
price year, 1907. OF the 257 commodi-

NOT QUITE FINAL TRUTH.

At the tabernacle services on Sun.
day afternoon, Apostle Heber J. Grant
declared that Mormonism contained and
embraced the :" final truth
Mormonism, along with the other reli-
gions, must be Judged by it's fruits and
the character of men who are the most
prominent examples of its product.
Upon examining copy of the Deseret
News of July %. 1856, we find re-
printed on the first page of the chief
church organ some extracts from the
personal journal or diary of Joseph
Smith, the founder Of Mormonism.
Among other things uttered by the
pretended prophet is the following:
There are those of the rising genera
iion who shall not taste death till Christ
ly upon this subject. and a Voice said
unto me, My son, II thou Iivest until
thou art eighty five years OF age thou
shalt see the face OF the Son of Man. :.
/ prophesy In the name OF the Lord God
and let 1t be written. the Son OF Man Will
not como In the clouds Of heaven Til
am eiGhty-fivc years old.
According to the Dcseret News. this
supposed prophecy was uttered at
conference anniversary celebration Of
the organization of the Mormon
church that was held in Nauyoo uli
uois. April 6. l843 If he had lived
Joseph Smith would have been one hun.
dred and five years old on December 90,
1910, Twenty years, therefore, have
passed over our heads since (according
TO the prophecy" of .Joseph) we
should have been favored with the
heavenly visitation which he foretold.
There are perhaps half dozen men now
living who were alive at the time that
Joseph made his prophecy They
