JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH

Perusal of the biography of the late
Joseph Fielding Smith, until his death
last month, president of the Church of
Jesus Christ. or Latter Day Saints, bet
ter known as the Mormon church, is
convincing of the bigness Of the man
who for seventeen years was president
of that church, and under whose presi-
dencv unusual stride was made by the
church. re6giously and industr'ally.
While President Smith primarily was
not a business men, he was an effectual
organizer, and the work that he has
performed will be remembered long
wears after his death. His work as an
individual in the ntelmountain section
of the great west is paralIeled only by
that of one other man-Brigham Young
who also was president of the Mormon
church.
Transforming a veritable desert into
what is probably the most highly devel-
oped section Of the intermountain coun-
trv the Mormon church, through organi-
zation by its leaders, has accomplished
work that stands paramount in the
OIL the arid regions of the
west.
Only through determination to. sue
coed despite temporary adversely, guild
ance of industrial operations by firm
hand, and by genuine cooperation nave
the Mormons succeeded in their great
undertaking in Utah, southeastern Idaho
and other parts of the country, and
their reward in seeing their industrial
efforts crowned with success Is fully
for theirs has been a life of
real pioneering in country OF SAT-
and sand and sagebrush wastes.

While it is probable that the disease

as the number of prevailing cases is con

Quarantine reenlatio /, are rigidly en-

In the absence Of a city ordinance
providing for isolation of influenza

Tor the city council to meet and pass

BISHOP FUNSTEN

Boise Statesman: The usual activi-
ties ceased for time in Idaho s capital
city while the citizens joined in a last
tribute to the memory of the late Rt.
Rev. J. B. Funston, bishop of Idaho.
Bishop Funston s death was not only
Boise's loss. His passing is loss to
the whole state, and in scores of cities
and towns his memory will long be
cherished.
For nineteen years the late bishop had
lived and laborcl in Idaho The ma
terial results of his work are many.
Tho number of Protestant Episcopal
churches in the state has more than
quadrupled during the years he was
at the head of the diocese, and ST.
Luke 5 hospital and St Margarc- 5 hall
in Boise are both useful monuments to
his endeavors. For the former institu-
ton, particularly, the public, without re-
gard to sectarian affiliations. owes the
late bishop great thanks.
The influence or value of n life can
never be justly estimated by the ma
terial achievements or successes of the
indil idual, and this holds true in ex
ceptional degree in the case of min
lister. Bishop Funston will lie sorely
missed by his church associates But
not by them alone. Among the poor
and unfortunate, the erring and the dis
tressed, there are scores who mourn the
loss Of n friend and helper.

XMAS FOR CHRISTMAS

1t has long been custom, among the
thoughtless, probably for the sake OF
brevity, to use the word " Xmas for
- Christmas Especially in the hasty
preparation of written or printed mat
ter does one often find the substitu-
tion of Xmas, which on the face OF
things, is far from possessing the Gus
tomary reverence which we should en-
ploy in referring to the day commem-
Grating the birth of Jesus Christ.
The word Christmas is formed by a
combination of the words Christ and
mass. Christmas is . festival common
Grating the birth of Christ, and, there
fore. every mark of reverence with
which We can clothe the memory OF the
Savior should mot be overlooked.
The abbreviated form of Christmas,
viz, Xmas, owes IT'S origin to the Greek
letter chi, which is formed similarly to
the English letter Y. The Greek letter
chi, capitalized, is used to donate Christ
and also the word Christian. Therefore,
the combination. of 90" and ''mas -
Christ and mass-a 4estical in memory
of Christ, or Christmas.
While the employment of Xmas no
doubt is good usage, nevertheless the
word Xmas gives the impression that he
who uses the term is careless in his
writing, and altogether too hasty in the
placing of words on paper, especially
when the subject with which he is deal
ing is one deserving of the greatest
possible pains and effort. Let us not
slight Christ and the day on which we
honor His advent into the world, when
we have occasion TO refer on paper to
Christmas day.
