iective in the best of standing, taken
from the name OF good St. Awdry.
On Oct, II, the anniversary Of his
birth, an annual fair formerly was
held upon the Isle OF Ely. There the
good danes of the island brought to
market their homemade laces, for
which they were famous. Gradually
their handiwork came to be known as
st, Awdry's lace, and it was an easy
step to tawdry, which we have pre-
served, although using II in a differ
cnt way. How "A term OF description
for a fine product ever came to mean
something cheap and in bad taste
Is difficult to explain. II is just pos
sible that st. Awdrys lace suffered
In quality, and therefore became
"tawdry."
Many OF us would be delighted to
consider ourselves aesthetic, for this
seems to be the final word in de-
scribing person of culture. II has
a cultured ring unknown to commoner
terms. Aesthetic comes from a
Greek word meaning perceptive, 50
that an aesthetic person is really one
who perceives-a very good descrip-
tion indeed.
Medical science has taken aesthetic
and turned 1t to new uses. BY en-
ploying slight prefix, the medical
gentlemen gave us anaesthetic, the
modern name for drugs which cause
temporary forgetfulness. As Ses-
thotic means one who perceives, a
person under the influence OF an
anaesthetic assurediy does not per-
ceive.

Usually your memory serves you

Ingratitude never got anybody any
thing but remorse and regretful retr y
spection.
And after all is said and done, 10y.
atty is the greatest asset in the
world-loyalty first of all to the thing
that you think is right to do. On the
other hand, there is nothing that
hurts more than the moment when
some one has proved ungrateful.
One way TO treat ingratitude is to
ignore it. There is great solace in
the surety that at least you have per-
formed your task.

adding insult to injury, and throw
ing salt on open wounds.
One can hardly understand how
people can be so ungrateful and SO
impervious to the pain of others.
1t was bad enough that they did not
reciprocate the kindness of the wife,
but TO say that they did not come and
ask her to help them is almost the
last word in the realm of selfshness.
As Cicero OF old wisely said: Tine
man is ungrateful who denies he has
received benefit, who pretends he
has not received 1t, and who does Lot
return it,"
1t seems TO me that the people
mentioned in this mans letter have
flled all these definitions, and there
fore are thoroughly ungrateful.
The husband in this .case has one
great consolation. His wife was a
noble woman. She did her big part
and had nothing to pay in the end
She saw her duty and died in the
doing,
1t Is the stun OF which all good
souls are made Doubtless some OF
her fine spirit is part OF her chll'
drcn.
Evidently her time had come, and
1t is glorious way to dic-havinI

%ERTAlNLI words are peculiar
Y things. Just when We mean TO
say something with particular
clcarness we perhaps use a word
that implies very different condi-
tion from that which we try TO de-
scribe. Take the word concert as an
example. II two or three gallant
young musicians paid a midnight visit
to the home OF some lady and
strummcd a love song to her on the
plaintive guitar most of us would
call that "A concert. But the word
originally meant something notably
different. II is derived from the
Latin concertare, meaning TO con-
tend or struggle together. And IT
might be that the young men would
indeed be struggling together! The
Spaniards still retain this meaning in
signifies to settle or adjust.
No doubt many a husband has paid
alimony without understanding Just
what II really was. although he OF
course experienced all the unpleasant
ness OF payment, The word comes
from another Latin root, alimonia,
which the old Romans understood to
mean nourishment, Its modern usage
therefore is thoroughly appropriate,
for many a wife undoubtedly receives
nourishnent from this source.

casion cited 1t in vindicating to the
casuistical Jews His claim to Divine
authority. (John SIT, 1S). It is a vital
element of Jurisprudence. and is at
once reasonable and indispensable in
practice.
The Book OF Mormon predicts its
own coming forth in latter times, and
presents the specific prophecy that the
gold plates on which the ancient rec
ord was engraved would be shown to
three witnesses. and later to certain
others. The sacred character
of the plates forbade their display
for the qualification of curiosity: and,
moreover, it was the stated purpose
of the Lord that the restored Scrip
lures be accepted or rejected by men
according to the readers measure of
faith or lack thereof. Respecting the
book THE LORD GOD HATH SAID:
THAT THE WORDS OF THE
FAITHFUL SHOULD SPEAK AS IF
1T WERE FROM THE DEAD" e
Nephi F12, 1s; compare lisa. 2s:D.
The Angel Moroni, who delivered the
plates to Joseph smith. received them
back into his keeping after the trans
lation OF the unsealed portion had
been effected. The latter-day prophet
had been instructed to guard the
plates with vigilant care, and was
warned against any temptation to use
the sheets OF gold for personal gain.
They were preserved inviolate while
IN ms hands; and were shown by him
only as the Lord directed. In June,
1929, three men. designated through
revelation, were chosen to view the
plates, and the occasion was one of
heavenly visitation.

This solemn affirmation was never
revoked nor in the least degree
modified. though all of the three
were later severed from the Church
for transgression. To the time OF
death each maintained the truth Of
his testimony, despite ridicule and
divers sufferngs through persecu-
ton.
Shortly after the witnessing of the
plates by the three. other eight per-
sons were permitted to see and han
die the records, as they thus attest:

Three of these eight died out Of
the Church, yet not one of the
whole number ever was known to
deny his testimony. Had policy
figured in the matter, as doubtless
would have been the case in the
fraudulent exploitation of a spur
ious book. the Church might have
been expected to tolerate any mis-
conduct on the part of members so
vitality prominent in it's affairs: but
the ban of excommunication fell, as
Justice demanded, without respect
to persons. The biography of each
of the eleven witnesses has been
widely published. Their testimonies

of Mormon. Read and consider.
