The establishment of the Church OF
Jesus Christ OF Latter-day Saints was
no experiment Its actual organic
ton as a body corporate was preceded
by visitations OF heavenly beings, by
definite revelation. by prophecies as
TO the unfolding plan of the Divine
purpose in these latter days, and by
the publication of the Book OF Nor
mona volume of Scripture which.
though comprising the record Of an
cient peoples, was new to the modern
world.
These and other heavenly manifes-
tationS, including the bestowsl OF the
Holy Priesthood with its expressly
defined authority and appointment to
organize and build up the Church. We're
made through Joseph Smith, who at
the time of the first visitation was
lad in his fifteenth year.
To the earnest student Of this un-
precedented series Of events a certain
dominant characteristic is apparent
the positiveness and Certitude with
which the successive aVowals Of the
youthful prophet were set forth. From
his testimony of the glorious theo-
phany by which the dispensatIon OF
the fulness of times was insugurated,
down TO has last inspired utteranCeS
Immediately preceding his martyrdom,
his doctrinal teachings, his aftirma-
tions and prophecies We're unweakentd
by qualification or ambiguity
Plain and unembellished by stud
led rhetoric or dramatic effect, his
solemn averments were free from
even the shadow Of the tentative or
provisional He voiced his message
fearlessly and in the strength Of
simplicity, with no restraining after
thought of opposition. ridicule, or
persecution.
True to the character OF a real
prophet, he gave out only as he re-
ceived-Iine upon line, precept upon
precept, here a little and there a lit
tie. And behold. the precepts have
arrayed themselves into a scriptursl
unity: the lines have fallen into or
der as verses Of revealed epic: and
the little has grown to the fUlness
of the everlasting Gospel.
The mission of Joseph Smith and
that of the Church he was instru-
mental in founding have from the
first been before the world in their
true colors. Though the unity OF
unalterable purpose and unchanging
plan is impressively apparent, there
is nothing in the latter-day Scrip
ture that savors Of policy or obscure
intent.
Granted that the claims of the
Church are bold ones, even striking
ly so, and that some of them when
first enunciated stood in disturbirl
contrast with certain theological
dogmas long regarded as orthodox.
Nevertheless. they were presented
with an assurance such as only the
certainty Of their Divine source
couId Justify or sufficiently explain.
In this age Of free speech and lib
erty OF conscience il is surely al
Iowable to put forth views and pub
Ush sfirmations relating to reiig-
ious belief. even though the doc
trines be opposed to earlier concep-
tions, provided the rights Of men to

New York.-A young man. modishly
dressed and so handsome that many
turned to look at him. bought a ticket
for Baltimore at the Pennsylvania sta

Masculinity dropped from the youth.

INVEST $5ooo PER MONTH
Yearly Sales From This VIII Bring In $6o.oo0 In Year, $27.12 Per
 Capita

Missouri industrial plants and stores in each county visited by the or ganizers for the War Savings Organi- zation have responded enthusiastical- ly to the efforts made to establish War Savings Societies.
 The field organizers, under the direc- tion of D. L. Dempsey, have visited 21 of the 94 counties in that part of Missouri contained in the Eighth Fed oral Reserve District. and between June l and August 15 there were 1s0 societies organized with total mom- bership of 2,282, and with total month ly pledges aggregating >4.se1.sg.
 Director of Field Work Dempsey had but four men, all told. in this work. and one of these devoted by far the greater portion of his time to the organization of societies in schools.
 The figures in the table that follows, compiled by MT. Dempsey. do not take into consideration any of the societies organized in the schools, and these societies reach well up into hundreds.
 The per capita ~-- per month in the l8s societies is $2.26. and the per capita sales for 12 months, at the same ratio. will be $27.12, while the yearly sales from these societies will reach the sum of $59,542.20.
 It must be remembered, too, that all of these sales are for the Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. of the de- nomination of $5 and 25 cents, and do not include any of the sales from the Treasury Savings Certificates in. the denominations of $100 and $1,000.
 Greene and Pettis counties are the closest rivals for leading honors. These counties contain the pretentious cities of Springfield and Sedalia, and because of this they possess an advan- tage over some of the other counties.
 Greene county has the largest num- Der of societies, 29. to Pettis county's 27. In the matter of number of sub scribers and the amount of monthly sales, Pettis is far in the lead, with sales of s1.22050 monthly to Greene county's $bS0.7b. and 367 members to Gresne's 34S
