II man be the spirit offspring OF

Scriptures bear definite testimony,

Through valiant service, by unre-

Christ, never-ending advancement Is
made possible to man. Thus, with

godhood. Such high attainment Is
specifically the EXALTATION OF

SALVATION. Not all who are saved
in the hereafter shall be exalted.
One may refrain in large measure
from committing particular sins or
sin In general. and so gain title to q

should do beyond ordinary observance
of Thou shalt" and Thou shalt not"
Of the decalog. He went away sor-
rowful in contemplation Of the sacri-

his case and prescribed q suitable

Through the latter-day prophet. Jo-
seph Smith, the Lord has specified the
conditions Of exaltation in the eternal
worlds, by describing those who thus
attain:
They are they who received the
testimony OF Jesus, and believed on
His name and were baptized after
the manner Of His burial, being.
buried in the water in His name, and
this according to the commandment
which He has given. That by keep
ing the commandments they might
be washed and cleansed from all their
sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by
the laying on Of the hands Of him
who is ordained and sealed unto this
power - They are they who are
Priests and Kings, who have re-
ceived of His fulness, and of His
glory, and are Priests of the Most
High. after the order Of Melchizedek.
which was after the order of Enoch,
which was after the order Of the
Only Begotten Son. Wherefore, as
it Is written, they are Gods, even
the sons OF God" Doctrine and
Covenants 76:51-5s).
And further, of the supremely
blessed we read:
Then shall they be Gods, because
they have no end; therefore shall
they be from everlasting to ever
lasting, because they continue; then
shall they be above all. because all
things are subject unto them. Then
shall they be Gods, because they
have all power. and the angels are
subject unto them. Verify. verify
I say unto you, except ye abide my
law. ye cannot attain to this glory"
(1S2:20,21).
But all shall be subject to the

Christ, as thus attested:
Wherefore all things are theirs,

Ny dear Captain Mitchell:-
/ am glad indeed that you have
undertaken q work OF SO much in
terest to the older residents of
Washington, and what will prove, /
think, equally entertaining to the
stranger within our gates. You OF
all men, II strikes me, are best
qualified for such an undertaking.
The growth of Washington since
the civil war has been marvellous
and the period antedating that con-
iict is one filled with romance. 1t
was Thomas Moore. the Irish poet.
I believe, who more than q century
ago spoke Of this embryo capital
as follows:
This embryo capital where fancy
Squares In morasses, oblisks In trees:
which second-sighted seers, even
now adorn
With shrines unbuilt. and heroes
yet unborn,
Though naught but woods and JEFF
ferson they see,
Where streets should run and sages
ought to be-"
1t was Charles Dickens who IN
1sI2 called washington ''the city of
maenifcent intentions" II was
Alexander r. Shepherd who saw the
magnifcent possibilities for Wash
ington, and his was the master hand
as well as the directing force and
energy controlling the new and
greater Washington.

An Eyesore-
The Jail in almost the center of
Washington had long been an eye
sore and frequent efforts were made
to have the penal institution re-
moved to some more remote locality.
The only argument in favor of the
location In what Is now judiciary
Square or Pension Park" was its
nearness to the courts. Finally the
city fathers-for suffrage was in
vogue here then. and we had a
mayor. city council, etc.-concluded
to raze the jail of civil war times
and the brick and other material
were used In the construction of the
workhouse, which was at that
period regarded as an innovation in
punitive institutions.
Now the workhouse for men Is
being demolished by q gang of la
borers, and soon the venerable
landmark will be only q memory.
Within its grim walls the man
