taught that Jesus Christ existed a
spirit being before he came here"
OF, course this is out of harmony with
the Rev. Mr.. Bates as. he. has been
schooled to believe that God made the
world out of nothing and that God
has no body, parts, or passion.
1t strikes us as strange that God
could make SO much out of nothing
and then need a little dust and a rib
to finish up with.
1t is also a little puzzling to know
how God can have neither body, parts,
or passions, n yet he is on record
as having made man in his own i'm
age, and likeness, also that Jesus
Christ was the express image of his
person.
Perhaps some of the good Luther
ans are finding his out and are slip
ping away as Rev. MIR. Bates says.
This is not the only reason they have
for slipping away. The doctrine of
original SIM, and sprinkling of infants,
are relics of the dark ages, and can
well be added as implements to drive
away honest investigators out of
Lutheranism. These perhaps are some
are shaking. This may be a bettep
! reason why. people are going shep-
herdless."
Joseph Smith came to this vision
less age with a message from God,
calling men back into the. old paths of
the old Gospel, saying thai God was
collecting a people-to prepare for the
coming of, His son. He came claim
Ing authority from God to act and
that If men would obey that old gos-
pei. they should know of it's truth
fulness, telling them they need not
rely solely upon his testimony, GOD
having promised to verify his mes
sage, and thousands of honest, intelli =
gent citizens everywhere bear testi-
mony that they have received this
evidence from God. Can Rev. Mr..
Bates say the same for his institu-
ton? 8
The great trouble with people in
general and the reverend gentry in
particular Is that they Judge this mar
by the evils of Utah Mormonism,
which are Numerically opposite to
all Of his teachings. Eminent jurists
in the courts Of Ohio. Missouri and
Canada are on record affirming that
the Mormon church" in Utah has
materially and largely departed from
the faith and doctrines, laws and
usages of the original church, and has
Incorporated into it's system of faith
the doctrines OF. celestial marriage
and plurality of wives, the Adam-God
worship, contrary to the laws and
constitution of said original church.
The Book of Mormon, which some
believe to be the foundation for pol
ygamy has this to say: Behold Day
i'd and Solomon had many wives and
c~oncubines which thing was abomin-
able before me, saith the Lord
wherefore hearken and hear the word
of the Lord, there shall not any mar
among you have save it be one wife
and ~concubines he shall have none

COMMUNICATION

To The Forum: In your issue of
Oct. 8, we note a powerful address at
the Lutheran conference, in which
one Rev. Mr.. Bates scores this as a
~Visionless age, saying: The people are
perishing, they are drifting sheperd-
less. The masses are in peril. the
foundations are shaking. The people
of Protestant lands are casting off the
Word"
The Lutherans so loyal to the Bible
find man. Of their numbers slipping
away from. them. This uncertain
~visionless g gives rise to false
prophets such as Joseph Smith, Mrs.
Eddy, Pastor Russell and others of
modern times, all denying the funda-
mental doctrines, and imperiling
mems lives.
Judged by their fruits they are
false prophets, at best base material
lists and p~antheists. Hence many peo-
pie are perishing right with God and
hope in the world. p.
These are sweeping charges placed
against these leaders of, modern times,
and we are forced to take issue with
the Reverend in his applying then to
Joseph Smith,, for having investigated
his teachings for some time we find
he does not deny the fundamental
DOCTRINES" but affirms every principle
taught in apostolic times.
He taught faith in God and his son
Jesus Christ, repentance from sin
baptism as Christ was baptized, lays
ing on his hands, the resurrection Of
the dead, and eternal judgment. Heb
6: /, 2. ..-~ .
He taught men to worship the. God
Of Israel, who made man in his image
and likeness, n to worship his son
Jesus Christ. He being the express
image of his Father, Heb. 1:8.
He also taught that God did not
change "For L am the Lord 1 change
not" NAL. .3:6. Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, today and forever" Heb
1873.
That there was formulated an un.
changable plan of salvation In the be-

deity they would become the receipt.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

On his return to thisc country Colonel
Goethals may be surprised to learn
that his work in Panama has been in
vain. Already the sensation mongers
are peddling a story that the Panama
canal will not serve the purpose in

son that the water supply for the
locks is wholly inadequate. A story
is now going the rounds that, owing
to a change in climatic conditions, the
water supply for Gatun lake Is dwind-

limited volume the canal may be OPP
Grated only at one-fourth of it's ca

The story is interesting, although it

that. Up to the present time the

ELECTRIC LIGHT
FOR THE FARMHOUSE.

On an average, artificial illumina-
hours a day in most farmhouses.
Only two rooms in the house need 10
be illuminated for this long every,
day, the kitchen and the living room.
Bedrooms are lighted for short inter-
walls only and the cellar and Woodshed
lights are snapped on for only a few
minutes at a time. For the whole
house and for the barn, an average
OF three hours per day for each lamp
would seem to be ample, and five

small expense. Where no power plant
Or storage battery is to be installed,
the initial outlay is confined to the
wiring of the premises and the pur-
chase Of bulbs, the cost of which is
SO small as to be within the means Of
almost any householder.
Recent tests of the Colorado Ex-
! pertinent Station, with current fur
nished by the Electric Light Co. of
Fort Collins, at a charge of IS cents a
kilowatt-hour, showed the cost of
burning a acknowledgement Mazda
lamp for 1000 hours to be $3.50. This
includes the cost of the lamp itself,
the life of which averages 1000 hours.
The cost of burning a single lamp for
a year, three hours per day, Is thus
seen to be only $4.16, or a little more
thar / cent q, day. 1t is to be noted
that the lamps used in the Colorado
experiments were of 20-candIe-
Five lamps will cost $20.S0 a year..
Few improvements in the home are
attended with so much satisfaction as
that which comes from the substitu-
ton of the brilliant and convenient
electric light for the kerosene lamp.
In the barn the safety and convenience
of the electric bulb, as compared with
the old-time lantern wins instan-
taneous appreciation. So great are its
advantages that. many weIl-to-do
farmers have, at a cost of several
hundred dollars, installed a plant for
the production of the needed current
for their individual use alone, and now
regarde the light as Indispensable.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
a Mans Best Years.

Los Angeles Times: What are a
mans best years depends largely
on what his youth was-the time for
laying the foundation. 1t also depends
upon the nature Of his work and
something of his stamina or staying
powers; also, Is to whether he has
mastered his environments, or allow
ed them to master him. Hugo Mum
sterberg places the high water mark
at 80 years; Dr.. Wiley thinks a mans
best work should be done after he Is,
SO; while DR.. Osler claims that little
original and valuable work Is done
after the age of 40. AS for my o7!n
humble opinion, | am quite thorough,
ly convinced that a man does not
reach his prime of intellectual strength
and luCidity until he arrives at the
halfway house-threescore and ten.
The life problem is very much like
a marathon, and should be decided
accordingly. On the one hand, it is,
not a question of years, but of condi-
tion-mentally and physically. How
did he pass the SEVENTEEN milestone
old and decrepit, or vigorously? On,
the other hand, it is not a question:
as to the time he made, but what was
his condition. Did he collapse or did
he finish strong?

Selfish Americans in Mexico,

Louisville Post: No doubt. The
Wilson administration is seeking to
maintain peace, seeking to avoid the
necessity of invading Mexico. The
policy. that Huerta and his supporters
are following means Intervention, and
intervention may have to come any
how. But these Americans in Mexico
would involve this country In war,
would have the Americans at home
shed their blood for Americans abroad,
would have the American treasury
emptied in order to protect the Ann
orleans in Mexico in their efforts to
exploit that country and enrich them
selves.
1t is dollar diplomacy. and it is the
worst possible diplomacy.

The Loss to Mexico

Ell Paso Herald: Every American
who has been living and working in
Mexico has been worth to the repub-
lie, on the average. at least $500
pesos a year in earning power. This
earning power has been applied to de-
Velop1ng the. Of Mexico.
Assuming that there were so, 900
Americans thus engaged, and that
they have practically all left the
country. or at any rate ceased their,
productive work, owing to the dis
turbed conditions, that means a loss
Of 125,000,O00 pesos a year to the re-;
public, or a capital loss Cat 5 per-
cent?, at 2,500,OOO,O00 pesos. or $780,
600, 600 gold.
Mexico will suffer for a long time
as a result Of the exodus, In addition
10 the direct personal losses sustained
by tho Americans themselves. The
Americans who have been forced TO
leave are for the most part of a type
nat Mexico can i'll afford at this
stage of her national growth and de-
velopment to lose.
