MESA FOLKS ARE
 READING BIBLES
Debate Being Held at Tab ernacle Leading Many People to Search Scrip ture-Will Be No Argu- ments Tonight

It is given out on the best of author ity that there are more people reading their Bibles in Mesa and vicinity than ever before in the history of the town
 It has been vouched by many people that a debate between two religious organizations such as that being held at the tabernacle could result in no good. Whether the Bibles are being read by the opposing denominations with view to determining their re- spective issues or whether they are prompted by desire to know more of Holy Writ has not been determined. It Is only known that people are actually pouring over the pages of sacred hist Ory through the day and attending the debates at night. Each evening the speakers quote passage after passage of Scripture and make references to many others. These references in many in- stances are written down by the list eners and the following day the line of argument IS followed. story was go- ing the rounds yesterday that a Mesa woman who is old enough to be a grandmother, after returning home from the debate Friday evening went to her trunk and dug out Bible which had been given her by her mother on her fifth birthday anniversary. Many of the pages were stuck together and the book showed that it had been little used. The lady was not only surprised but overjoyed when the book opened of it's own accord about midway of the New Testament and therein was seen a closely and very compact ten dollar bill. Another incident was told of a man who brushed the dust from the Holy Bible and commenced a diligent search for q reference from the Book of Ether. He was of the opinion that he had come into possession of a spuri- ous edition of the scripture when he consulted friend better versed in the teachings of the scripture. who told him that the reference would be found in the Book of Esther and that there was no such book in the Bible as ether
 The debate was continued last night upon the question: Resolved, that the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints is identical with the primitive Church of Christ as shown by the New Testa ment in organize ton. doctrine, faith and practice and is therefore the Church 0. Jesus Christ The crowds continue to fill the tabernacle to ca pacity. many people arriving at the church two hours ahead of time for the speaking to commence. There will be no debate this evening

itself into the latter days of Nat Goodwins life. It seems that he is quite contented in his part of Ser geant O'Rourke in ''The Celebrated Case $ if he can occasionally sneak in an unexpected laugh when he feels very, very sure of himself. It is only when he is on the stage with Otis Skinner as Jean Renaud sure of himself That is because MT. Skinner, as MT. Goodwin puts it.. is a blood relative of psychology, whereas MT. Goodwin is psychology's deadly enemy. The other night it went very hard with "The Psy- chology of Acting" when MT. Good win was delivering one of his most intricate speeches as O'Rourke to Otis Skinner as Jean Renaud. This is the way the speech fared at the hands of psychology and MT. Skin ner.

 When both actors reached the wings, MT. Goodwin, who. as a mat ter of fact. is otis Skinner's warm est admrer said to him:
 ''In the name of O'Rourke, Jean Renaud and God. Otis. why did you put in those yes, yeses 9"
 My boy. that is the part: the psychology of the part demands that" replied MT. Skinner.
 "Oh. it's psychology, is it?" asked Mir. Goodwin. Well, see here. I'll stand for pathology, philology. actor ology, and I'll especially stand for sexology, but I'll be damned if Iii stand for psychology"
