EGGERS Leaving Salt Lake City, we travelS; ed southwest across Utah to the exi treme southwest corner. St. George. This day's travel was on Sunday. We ' saw industry in full force that day? I road crews were working, farmers , were cultivating tlieir crops (when [ there was farming), and desert by the thousands of acres before reach' ing St. George. We came to several national parks and forests, so named 1 and used because the lands were unfit for anything elese. Finally we _ .-nmt, O - w ....... .1 ..aLlUIlill 3 Park. This canyon is an area of 55 r square miles. It has within its c boundaries spectacular portions of the Pink Cliffs which are llie up; | pcrmost of the varl-colorcd series of > j cliffs extending across the plateau i; region of southern Utah and northj1 era Oregon. This canyon is actually > | not a canyon, but a long line of 1* beaks" where the paunRangont Dlateau at an elevation of S.000 to 9.000 1 j feet altitude breaks off into a valley I 1,000 to 3,000 feet below These c beaks, known as the Pink Cliffs," are eroded into bowl-shaped amphitheatres and this particular part about. ^ which I am writing was named after j a man by the name of Ebenezer j Bryce, a pioneer cattleman years ago. The Indians knew it by several names, the two most descriptive be^ Pakitch," meaning red rocks in a 1 nng 'Anka - tompi - wowitz-pokitch." 5 meaning red rocks in a hole, and "Anka-kw~was-a-wits," meaning red painted faces. d This canyon is also called locally 3 "Tho Silent City," it has the general appearance of a city. The soil is 3 eroded in such a way as to look like 3 large buildings with high steeples on * them aiul some of them look like r balls laid one on top of the other, and you wonder how it is done. Others look like large domes and as wc 0 stood on the rim looking down or the 4 - silent cuy, some one whistled and I ' the echo was perfect. A winding f trail will lead you down among the j domes and steeples and you are per- j 0 milted to walk among them. A road j ? runs around the rim in about a half I 0 circle. The distance around thisj ? road is about 10 miles. It. surely is \ 3 a most wonderful work of nature, and the city is painted red. Spending the night near this can? yon we got to St. George, Utah, the d next morning. Blaine South and his P family live at St. George. We spent d the day and night with them. Blaine is a Watauga boy and a brother of Austin. He is doing well. He and 0 his hoys are making brick or ' '* "doubies." He does not have lo! ? kiln them?-lie lays them in the sun. e When they are dry they are ready to use. No burning is necessary. ? Again we were shown southern hos0 pilality and again we saw the Morci mona as they work for their church. They showed us through the temple G or parts of it. They showed us where they baptize the people. It is a large '* boat-shaped structure and is mount-? ed on the backs of twelve oxen I the kind they used in Brigham Young's d j days). These oxen, they tell us. rep! resents the twelve tribes of Israel. st ' Tney told us they believed in bapj tizing for the dead if any of their el" people had never been baptized, and !they could ti-ace his or her ancestry back far enough that some member of tile family couid be baptized for to ! them and it will be o. k. One good sister said she had been baptized for r; 2,150 of her kin. ty In traveling across Utah we found ty several places where roads had been td tunneled through the hills and lined >d with cement on the sides, with windows cut in the walls and parking n. places so that you can stop, walk rK out on the porch, so to speak, and -st look at the country round about. In c" places you can see from these windows hundreds of feet down the to mountainside to the canyons below. to At some points we saw homes built to from the red stone from these painted canyons. Imagine a stone house painted! On June 15 we left St. George and traveled east toward o!" home. >o!

GOLDEN TEXT?Thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind . . . Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. Mat'. 22:37. 39 PRIMARY TOPIC?God's Good Laws. JUNIOR TOPIC?Before the Mount of God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC? Why a Nation Needs Laws. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC? B&sic Laws fur a Nation's Life. T> i - * ' ' ' jsesic laws nave neen laia aown by God for the orderly administration of his universe. Men see them clearly in the physical universe, al though at times they do not recognize the One who created alt things. Physical laws are of great importance, but of even deeper significance are the moral and spiritual laws which control the human life. There is in the world a moral law? a distinction between right and wrong?which man may ignore only to his own sorrow, and which he cannot abrogate or destroy. All laws of men which are true and right are founded on this underlying moral law, and are in reality simply a development and interpretation of "God's Code of Morals"?the Ten Commandments. These commandments given to Israel at Mt. Sinai are worthy of careful study on the port of every reader. They may be grouped under two divisions. I. A True View of God (w. 1-11). The first and most important question to be asked regarding any law is, "Uy whom was it established?" Legislation by an unauthorized person or organization has no power over others. Who gave the ten commandments? Verse 1 tells us "God spake all these words." Men sneer at theology as being out - moded, but the fact is that Christian doctrine is the only safe foundation for Christian character. Unless my view of God is right, my life will be wrong. Until I know him I will not appreciate the authority of his law. 1. Whom to worship (vv. 2-5). There can be but one true God, and lie alone is to be worshiped. He is a personal being, ready to enter into communion with each one of us. No image can take his place. 2. How to worship (vv. 3, 7). We are to love him and keep his commandments. There is to be no sham about this, for no matter how sweet and pious may be the praise and prayer of a man, he has taken the Lord's name in vain unless he keeps the Lord's commandments by holy living. 3. When to worship (vv. 3-11). God has ordained that man should not incessantly bear the burden of toii. He is to have a day of rest i and a time for worhip, undisturbed ; by the duties and responsibilities : of daily labor. America needs a 1 mighty stirring up about the desj ecralion of the Lord's day. i II. A Right Relationship to Man j (vv. 12-17). To be right with God means that we will also be right with our fellow man. 1. Family life (v. 12). The fifth commandment has to do with the relation between child and parent. There is a plain and direct com J It 4 r_ lL 3 . - i 1 1J iiiaiiu uiai iniiini uuu iiiuuiei miuuiu be honored. Only in respect and obedience to parents can the child possibly find true and proper development. 2. Physical life (vv. 13, 141. God is interested in our bodies. Already we have noted his provision for a day of rest each week. Now we are reminded of the sanctity of human life. "Thou shalt not kill," and remember there are many other ways to kill a man than by shooting him. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith makes a telling point by reminding us that we may kill others by selling them tainted food, intoxicating liquors, or "dope;" by neglect of duty, by careless driving, by failing to provide employees with sanitary and heaithful surroundings. There is another way that the body may be destroyed?by its misuse in adulterous living. 3. Social life (vv. 15-17). "Thou : shalt not steal" ? and remember any aisnonesi appropriation or wnat does not belong to you is stealing? call it what you will. And "false i witness"?how it has honeycombed our very civilization. Not a little of it is found within the church, more shame upon us! Lastly, we . come to "covetousness'?which has f been called one of "the- respectable "sins of nice people." It is subtle and often hidden. Let us root it out of . our own lives by God's grace. Enthusiasm in Work Enthusiasm is the element of success in everything. It is the light that leads and tire strength that lifts men on and up in the gr??t struggles of scientific pursuits and of professional labor. It robs endurance of difficulty, and makes a pleasure of duly.?Bishop Doane. A Translation Let us learn what death is. It is simply a translation: not a state, but an act; not a condition, but a passage. Y THURSDAY?BOONE, N.
