THE WORLD IS MOVING.

people: Those who can and those who can't." Everyone
should decide which class he belongs to. If you are one
i, . virl.n -iun'f lnincr some useful thine m the
world, it's about time you were beginning. The world is
moving on rapidly these days. It will not tolerate useless
people. Very soon it will not feed them. The pressure of
life is getting too severe to tolerate a lot of parasites. The
world needs workers and doers. It pays them well, es
pecially if they do their work without whining or grumb
ling or growling. .

Mr. Johnston today assumes his of
ficial duties by holding his first
monthly priesthood meeting at the
tabernacle. Later, his duties will
carry him to the various branches of
the church in this vicinity.
Rev. Charles A. Edwards, of the
Methodist church of this city, was
connected with Mr. Johnston in dif
ferent capacities for five years in
Blackfoot. He says he cannot speak
too highly of Mr. Johnston; not only
as a church man of high morals but
as a public spirited man who is will
ing to do his share in any worthy un
dertaking. Mr. Johnston is known as
a practical business man as well as, a
clean political leaner.
