On April 9Th, 1880, the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
was organized as body corporate
at Fayette in the State of New York
with a membership of six persons.
True, at that time few times six
had associated themselves more or
less closely with the new religious
movement; but, as the laws OF the
State specified six as the minimum
required to form religious corpora
ton, only that number took part IN
the legal procedure.
Today the Mormon" Church is
known by name at least throughout
the civilized world as well as
amongst most of the semi-cultured
peoples in the remoter parts of the
earth and on the islands of the sea.
Since 1880 every year has witnessed
an increase in its membership and
an extension of propaganda The six
have inceased to over half million
adherents The tiny mustard seed
has become spreading tree, whose
branches furnish food and shelter to
the earnest seeker after truth. The
vital character Of the Church was
evident from the first.
1t is not too much to affirm that
the leaven of "Mormonism" is leav-
ening the world and its theology.
Every studious reader Of recent COM
mentaries on the Holy Scriptures,
and of theological treatises in gem
eral is aware of a surprising pro-
gressiveness in modern views OF
things spiritual. amounting in many
instances to an abandonment of
what were once regarded as the
fundamentals of orthodoxy. In the
new theology "Momonism" has pio-
neered the way. A few instances
may be cited as illustrative.
ID The unscriptural and repel-
liant dogma of inherent degeneracy
and the communicating effect Of orig
inal sin, by which every child is born
vile in the sight and judgment Of
God, long cast It's dark shadow over
the minds Of men. From this con-
ception sprang the practise of infant
baptism and the perverted doctrine
of assured darnnation for babes who
die unbaptized. 1t is cheering to know
that practically all Christendom to-
day repudiates belief in the eternal
condemnation OF unbaptized babes.

on the matter and note the time OF
it's enunciation. In 1880 the Book
of Mormon WIS first published
Therein we read: Little children
need no repentance, neither baptism.
Behold, baptism is unto repentance
to the fulfilling the commandments
unto the remission Of sins. But little
children are alive in Christ, even
from the foundation Of the world"
(Moroni SID.

ception of heaven and hell is re.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Anamosa Eureka: The democrats
are edging up to the third term pro-
posal. Certainly they will fall for II
and excuse it and attempt to make IL
seem most acceptable The main cues
ton is to win and Wilson will be the
1920 candidate If ne consents to run.
Let him run, say we Let him run.
that there may be test between real
democracy and the shallow make
believe kind.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The con-
gress of the United States is on trial
ard the main question Is whether the
re representatives. of the people are
going to have the nerve and the abil-
lily to keep this as representative
government. It's up to congress.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The republicans will do well to shut
off most of the idealists in the party
and attend strictly to saving wood
for the session. There are always
some fellows in all parties who dream
cut loud.
Vinton Eagle: Country before
party" is true patriotism, but, of
course, the man who is glued fast to
the government payroll must remain
tue to the party until the last. and go
dcwn with the ship.
Iowa City Republican: The con-
gresham who thinks to get away
from what he calls pork barrel bills
Ify making large appropriations and
leaving the details of expenditures to
the executive would soon find that he
had not gotten rid of pork barrel,
but had merely changed managers OF
the distribution.
Oelwein fowan: It's all right to
have warm hearts toward all the rest
of creation-as America has so amply
and generously shown she hhs-but
we cannot afford TO lose our heads and
become mere sentimentalists when
the hardest kind Of thinking and the
Is,ernest common sense-in meeting
the poor old world with all its idiosyn-
cracies and selfishness-is needed.
Let's be kind. but let us also be
sane.
Des Moines Register: Have you
ever been pulling earnestly on rope,
when Unexpectedly the man on the
opposite end let go? The republican
congress, which had just spat on Its
hands and settled down for a long
yank, knows how that feels.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THELITILE BOYS.

TIE LII lie bOrS
The little boys that long ago Id
Came riding down the sun-splashed hill,
On country roads l used to know III IN
Where soft the summer winds still blow,
And meadow larks singing still,
The little boys went far away;
The warm wine of nations cheers
That sent them singing on their way
Is in their blood again today
The nations welcome in their ears
They left their horse and spurs and quirt
They left their boyhoods sweet romance,
And went away in khaki shirt
To bear the wrack OF blood and dirt
In combat on the fields of France.
And safe was / and free from fear
o little boys that used to be;
You guarded all held most dear
On land and and in the air
You fought afar for mine and mel
o little boys of long ago,
Your homing ships are on the wing,
And eagerly we greet them, though
Deep in our wistful hearts We know
1t is not boys but men they bring!

The Fish,no Cure.

Baltimore Sun. What the world
needs now is the fishing cure. There
is no other balm so effectual for
strained nerves and wearied souls.
Fishing is said to encourage false
hood, but we believe that is SIAN
der invented by would-be humorists
who never fish except for stale JOKES.
On the contrary, il encourages nearly
all the virtues It's difficult to con-
ceive of true fisherman who is not
philosopher and good citizen.
Let's halt the worlds business and
go a-fshing. 1t is sure cure for
that tired, worried feeling.

opERsoN TO PERSON" RATE

When person makes toll call, specifying that
conservation is desired with a particular person
and the connection is established and converse,
ton held with that person, the ''person to person"
rate applies.
AS this service requires greater amount OF ope-
rating effort the rate for such calls is about one
fourth greater than the 'station to station" rate
This tperson to person" rate is computed on the
day rate between the points involved, whether the
cali is made during the day or during the mght
and the minimum charge is 2Oc
No "person to person. call is accepted where the
estation to station rate is less than l5c.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1919-01-17
REPORT CHARGE"

When a .sperson to person" call is made and the
particular person desired is not in or will not talk
or when an exact telephone address of the partlc-
ular person desired has not been given and ne can
not be reached at telephone within one hour
"report charge" applies
Such charge also applies If the calling party Is
absent when the connection is completed within
one hour, or if he refuses to talk.
This charge is to cover compensation for the ope-
rating work performed and is usually about one
fourth of the "staton to station" rate
In any case where "report charge" applies, the
,,o;n;ronm charge il Zoe and the maximum $500.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1919-01-17
COLLECT CALLS"

"Collect calls" are calls for which the charges
are reversed that is, are to be collected from the
subscriber at the distant station at which the call
is completed.
Such "collect calls" or reversed charges are al
lowed only in connection with .person to person"
calls.

STATION TO STATION" RATE
When person makes toll call without specify
ing that conversation is desired with particular
person, and the connection is established and con-
versation held, the ''station to station" rate ap
plies.
This rate is determined by the airline distance
between toll points and is computed on the basis
of SC for each six miles, up to twenty-four miles,
and SC for each eight miles beyond that distance.
"Station to station calls should be made by num-
Der wherever Telephone Directory information -
available. Where this information is not available
at the calling telephone, such calls may be made by
giving the toll operator the name and address OF
the subscriber at the telephone called.
