Utah believes in practicing what you preach.

broadening its scope. Senator Smoot would
appeal to the religious motive and have
monthly fast day universally observed. The
proposal is not without merit. The benefits
TO individual health TO be derived from stated
periods OF fasting are incontestible. People
cat TOO much for their own good. ana this
knowledge undoubtedly lies at the foundation
of tho Mosaic law Of fasting Hence fasting
and prayer were ordained as of divine origin
in recognition Of mans need for spiritual
development, hindered in its free expression
by scnsuaity. II was foresecn that The nor
NAL Development Of man in the expression
OF his attributes would fail if his spiritual
nature was left without its seasons of re-

Indictment OF the enforced suspension OF i'll
