MUNDEN, Dec. 16, 1892. The new and beautiful little church at Spring Hill size 26x40 was dedicated on the 11th inst. by our Presidiing Elder, Rev. P.

The Elder preached a splendid sermon, subject Building of Solomons Temple. Then he made the statement of the net cost of building was thirteen hundred and fifty dollars, and that it required one dred and sixty dollars to meet the deficiency which was soon raised. Then we turned our attention to an organ, and raised money to purchase an or gan, in all we raised two hundred and thirty- five dollais.

16, 1892. We had our third Quarterly Conference on December 10th and 11th. Although we were first a little disappointed in not having Elder Allen with us, his place was ably filled by Rev. Bisbe, of Oronoque charge. Although the weather interfered some we had good congregations and got good straight gospel.

I have been here about a month. The friends have supplied me with a couple of rooms, nicely furnished and I am gradually getting acquainted with the people. We have meetings every Thursday evening which is well attended and the interest is increasing. We expect to develop into an Epworth League by and bye. I expect to begin a protracted meeting at Sweet Home, seven miles north next week.

UTAH, Dec. 15, 1892. My health is very much improved and my wife and daughters are well. Our district conference at Park City was a decided success. Our ministers here seem to be courageous, gressive, strong men, well qualified by gifts and graces for this peculiar missionary work.

They think we are nearing a great harvest time for the Master)s Kingdom certainly Mormanism is losing its hold of the people. There is a spirit of inquiry for a better way. The persevering industry of missionaries and mission teachers is bearing fruit, the time of darkness is passing away and the light of the glorious gospel is coming to the people of this great and wonderful territory. The day of persecution is also passing away, and instead we find courtesy and kindness from the Mormans as well as others yet the Morman leaders are working hard to hold their followers in line but the gospel is attracting many.

F. M. S. Mrs. Badley can not come to our Branch at present.

But we are planning to have Bro. Isham of India for our conferences, and hope to secure a returned missionary for the month of May, to attend our Spring conventions, organize and visit auxiliaries. MRS F. D. BAKER, Conf.

Sec y. We have been lately favored with calls from Rev's. Winterburn, Beckhart and Blundon. All seem earnest and hopeful in their work. Quite a number of persons from the surrounding country came into Salina to hear Joseph Cook's lecture.

We presume all were well paid for their trouble. This week we give our readers in place of Short Sermons an excellent essay by Miss Gussie Young of lipsburg. Miss Young is a former student of the K. W. U.

We have just received from the publishers a new song entitled The Indian Summer Time. It is by the popular author, Will L. Thompson of East Liverpool, Ohio The price is 40 cents. Send the author half price, and you will receive a copy. Let this and every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and let every setting sun be to you as its close, let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.

-Ruskin. Joseph Cook's lecture in Salina the 20th on Ultimate America was well received by a large and attentive audience. He gives no uncertian sound on the great moral questions of the day, and all true lovers of the pure and good may well rejoice in that they have such a powerful advocate. Christmas Gifts. What shall it be? This is a question we are all asking and one that we shall many of us fail to answer to our own satisfaction, especially so far as it refers to material things but we can each give ourselves to God's service and to each other.

The value of this gift depends on what we make of ourselves. We can any of us think of some whose very presence is a benediction because their words and the expressions of their face and the work of their hands all reflect the light of love. Yes, that is the key wold, and in proportion to our love will be our value to all with whom we. mingle in the home, in the church, in school, in business everywhere, and our love will be in proportion to our nearness to God for is Love." Many of us will not be able to give costly gifts to our friends but it we have love we can all give smiles, gentle and kind words and little acts of kindness which are far more precious than the most costly gifts. Ask yourselves if there is a gift that money could buy to be compared with an entire exemption from frowns and bitter and spiteful words from those with whom we must mingle the next twelve months, especially from those of our own home; and if this seems the best gift then ask God to so fill you with love that you will give this to those with whom you mingle.

It was love that gave us the gift of the Savior whose advent we celebrate on Christmas day, and it was love that made his life on earth so beautiful. There is no selfishness in love. Jesus did not seek to please himself but to do the will of his Father in haeven. If his professed followers should all follow him closely from this to the next Christmas time what a blessing we should become to each other and to others who look upon us and, who are in various ways affected by our lives. The following remedy for diphtheria which 1s taken from the Scientific American, is claimed by that journal to be the best known.

At the first in- dication of diphtheria in the throat of a person, make the room close, then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and turpentine in equal parts. Then hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the room with the fumes. The patient, on inhaling will cough up and spit out all the membraneous matter and the diphtheria will soon pass off. The fumes of the tar and turpentine loosen the matter in the throat and thus afford the relief that has baffled the skill of the physicians. Rev.

Dr. Stolz met with quite a serious accident about two weeks ago at Bunker Hill, Kan. He was standing on the platform of a freight car on which he was traveling and the cat started suddenly and threw him against the railing with such force that it fractured three of his ribs and hurt him a considerable. It has prevented him from getting away from Salina since but he has been around and at work all of the time at something for the University and all are interested in him and his noble work will pray for his speedy tion; The Iowa Temperance Magazine, published at Charles City, Iowa the official organ of the I.

If there be some who have intended to do something who have not yet done it, let us whisper in their ears that it is not yet too late. Sister Morrison expects to carry water from a neighbors becaase she has not enough to make a well or cistern.

Let the good work go on while we are about it, until she is supplied with the ordinary equipments of a home without debt and then we all know that she will have enough of care and toil in the support of herself and children. We hope that the contributions will continue at least until there is a well or cistern and a small barn with a good cow in it. Then all who have contributed to this fund will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have accomplished a good thing. To Resuscitate the Half Drowned. Everybody may be called upon to afford assistance to drowned persons while the doctor is being sent for, and Prof, Laborde's simple method for restoring breath when all other means have failed deserves to be universally known.

Our Paris correspondent tells us that the other day at a watering place in Normandy, two bathers, a young man and a boy, who were unable to swim, went out of their depth and disappeared. They were brought on shore inanimate, and were taken to the village. Two doctors were sent for, but the young man gave no sign of life, and they declared he was dead. M. Laborde, who was fishing at haif a mile's distance, came up as soon as he heard of the accident.

He examined the body and found that the extremities were cold and the heart had stopped. Then taking hold of the root of the tongue he drew it violently forward, giving it a sucession of jerks, in order to excite the reflex action of the breathing apparatus, which is always extremely sensitive. At the end of a few minutes a slight hiccough showed that the patient was saved. In addition to the usual restorative means, Prof, Laborde, in extreme cases, rubs the chest with towels soaked in hot and nearly boiling water, although the skin is blistered by Mr. Moody, who will have charge of the gospel meetings at Chicago during the World's Fair, is now securing assistants who will preach in the language of every nation whose people are likely to attend the Fair.Ex.
