The New South Wales Wool Yield
As a result of the serious droutrht
from which New South Wales his ju"
t,ande larse losses stock
which tho state suffered durinjr its
sway, it was expected that an appreci
able diminution in the present year's
wool yield, as compared with the total
for the last year, would be the case- but
Etrange to say, the railway returns for
the season's wool carriage show no
such decline. In 1902, the revenue de
rived from the carriage of wool from
all parts of the state to the seaboard
totalled 127.063. The total for 1903
from tho same service amounts to only
63 less, and, as no alteration has been
made In the rates for wool carriage, the
yield for 1903 is, therefore, practically
equal to that of 1902. Up to the end
of the first week of January, 1904. the
number of bales received at the three
depots. Sydney, Morpeth and Newcas
tle, amounted to 374,000, which repre
sented an excess of 3000 bales over the
total delivered at the same centers
up to the corresponding date of the
previous year. The gratifying position
of the wool yield, in face of the fact
that there are fewer sheep in the coun
try than for any year during1 the last
decade, is attributed to the increased
weight of fleece per sheep, which is in
marked contrast to the average fleece
weight for preceding seasons.

THE REVELATIONS OF MORMONISM
DR. L D. DRIVER VIGOROUSLY ATTACKS DOCTRINES OF THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS
HE following address on "The Reve
lations of Mormonlsm" was deliv
ered recently at Eugene by Dr. L
D. Driver, who holds the chair of the
ology at Willamette University:
. The testimony of Joseph Smith before
the Congressional committee on "privi
leges and elections" in a response to
questions propounded brought out the
following facts:
First That the practice of polygamy
and plural marriages stands on the au
thority of an assumed Divinfe revelation,
and that confirmatory evidence is found
is the practice of the patriarchs and Jew
ish people to whom were "committed the
oracles of God."
Second That the present head of the
Mormon church and all his predecessors
have practiced polygamy and plural mar
riages. Third That the Legislature of Utah by
the advice of Mr. Smith passed a law
prohibiting polygamy and making It a
penal offense.
Fourth That Mr. Smith choosing be
tween obeying the law passed by his own
advice or the abandonment of his plural
families, chose the latter and violated tae
law he had helped to pass.
The logical outcome is that by pro
curing the passage of this state law by a
Legislature "overwhelmingly Mormon."
he freed tho state from all legal respon
sibility for the practice of polygamy, and
as United States jurisdiction extends
only to cases wiere individuals violate
United States law. the practice of polyga
my is punishable only by state law, which
Is only another way of saying that Mor
monlsm is now made responsible to itself,
and the accused is to be the Judge. Thus
stands the esse in its legal aspects. Its
moral aspects many now be considered.
The Jewish people commenced with
Abraham. The Jewish state with Mo
ses. That Abraham and all mankind
were idolatrous and polygamous Is at
tested by all written and monumental
testimony.
That they were not made so In obedi
ence to a revelation from God but by the
violation of a Divine law stamped by the
creative act that at the beginning made
J'one woman" for "one man" and that
every recorded revelation given on that
subject from Adam to Christ was sub
versive and destructive of palygamy is
demonstrated by an appeal to every rev
elation recorded, when a distinction is
made between history and law. and tie
truth of this Is seen In the fact that
these revelations have not perpetuated,
but destroyed polygamy wherever they
have gone.. And it is remarkable that
with Mohammed and Joseph Smith It took
a special revelation to serve and give It
Divine authority, and these two are the
only cases recorded In the history of the
world. Custom was Its only authority,
and this Christ destroyed by appealing
to the creation of men.
The one polygamous act of Abraham
did not originate In his own desire, but at
the Instigation of his wlf. -who was bar
ren and had passed the natural period of
procreation and, under Oriental law, hav
ing absolute control over her servant
maid, desired her husband to take her as
a second wife. And as the condition of

bered, that liko our recent system of
slavery, this was the creature of local
and human, and not of natural and Divine
law. Measured by human law It was
right; measured by Divine law It was
wrong, and called for and received its
proper reward. This placed Abraham in
the same condition that Mr. Smith finds
himself In today, "between the devil and
tho deep sea," rendering escape difficult
but not Impossible; and this way Is always
open to all men a. standing revelation
written across the whole canopy of heav
en and the one remedy for all offenses
stop the offense and separate from the
offensive thing.
This was commanded Abraham and this
command he obeyed: "Cast out the bond
woman and her son," a severe but merci
ful remedy, as resistance would engender
greater evils. The Egyptian slave gets her
freedom, the hot blood of her son finds
more suitable environments In his unre
strained freedom of the desert than under
the restraints of the "holy family," and
shares equally with Isaac the Divine pro
tection; for Moses Is careful to state that
"God was with the lad." As is always the
case, the heaviest blow falls on the head
of the greatest offender, and Abraham of
all concerned It the greatest sufferer, and
It is said "the thing was very greivious to
Abraham," yet he obeyed, a marked dif
ference between him and Joseph Smith.
"Cast out the bond woman." Mr. Smith
refused, and until he Imitates Abraham's
obedience let him not quote Abraham to
vindicate his own conduct '
One case more brings us to the close of
the patriarchial reign. Isaac had but one
wife; Jacob alone remains to be con
sidered; The closing scenes of Jacob's life records
one of the most pathetic, as well as the
most instructive, chapters In human his
tory. Leah, his first wife, had been provi
dentially given him, and against his own
desires, while in a state of alienation for
a gross deception, practiced on his blind
father. Hence she was the only wife
recognized by natural or Divine law.
though he afterward added one more by
his own desire and two by request of his
wives. Rachel, his second wife, to the
closing of his life held the first place In
his natural affections, but when the last
grains of sand were running out of his
earthly life he made his son Joseph swear
to carry his remains to the Land of
Canaan and lay them by the side of Leah,
the only wife God then or has since rec
ognized, while Rachel, his earthly favorite
(Joseph's mother), sleeps alone. And fear
ing that Joseph might through natural
affection, bury him beside his "own
mother, he made him swear to bury him
by the side of Leah.
What strange impulse prompted this
solemn injunction, contrary to all the nat
ural Impulses of his past life, and after
every natural desire had forever fled.
What a picture when he said to Joseph:
"There they buried Abraham and Sarah,
his wife (but one) ; there they burled Isaac
and Rebecca, his wife, and there I burled
Leah," and by her side he desired to rest
and not a trace of polgyamy or a second
wife was allowed to violate the sacred
law of Eden, and the divine seal set on
the cave of Machpelah. still teaches God's
original purpose. And the descendants of

these patriarchs miraculously preserved
are living , witnesses to the truthfulness
of the history- Abraham's descendants
through Sarah are seen' today scattered
among all the nations of the earth . and
from Leah have descended Judah, Moses.
Aaron, David and Christ. Of the polyga
mous marriages, the wandering Arab, the
descendant of Hagar, still survives, and
he stands a living witness, the legiti

Lamech. the fifth from Adam, took him
two wives. ,
"He was the first," says Dr. Adam
Clarke, "that dared to reverse the divine
k order and from him polygamy has been
practiced and defended to the present
day." And when warned by his wives of
the danger of incurring the divine dis
pleasure, he quieted their fears by God's
sparing and protecting Cain after he killed
his brother, and pleading that as his
crime was less than that of Cain, said,
"If Cain shall be avenged- sevenfold, La
mech shall be seventy and seven."
This was the first case of polygamy and
stood as an acknowledged violation of
divine law, and no higher authority can
be found for its practice to the present
.day, unless we accept the revelations of
Mohammed or the prophets of the Mor
mon Church. But from the revelations, in
the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, Jt
receives no more authority than Idolatry
or any other evil practiced by mankind.

Half-Forgotten "Pieces" Have Some
of Youth's Charm.
"Kansas City Star.
There Is a charm about dimly remem
bered things quite apart from their in
trinsic attractiveness. People like to re
call what is half forgotten. The "pieces"
in the "reader." the novels read In youth,
the old hymns that used to be sung in the
prayer meeting years ago, the declama
tions learned for recitation at school, the
old-fashioned poems all of these when
reread by -men and women bring up a
troop of pleasant recollections of days
long since gone.
There Is Webster's reply to Hayne, for
instance. When any man of New Eng
land ancestry reads the climax, "Liberty
and union, now and forever, one and In
separable," he thinks far less of the
meaning of the words than he does of the
day In school when with wild gesticula
tions he " shouted them at his admiring
schoolmates. So, too, with Patrick Hen
ry's famous Richmond speech. "Give me
liberty or give me death" Is redolent less
with the breath of Independence than with
memories of the declamation contest,
when all one's relatives were present In
the old church and Uncle Jim had offered
a dollar if there were no hesitation or for
getting. The old school readers, are full of
things, some of them good," some bad, but
all transfigured by the Imagination of
childhood or the sentiment nf vnnlli, t
-read them today is;ln a measure to re

A Healthy
family
Is trie one that.can rightfully boast of pure blood. When,
tbe ricb, red wine of life is coursing through the veins it im
parts vigor and strength to the body and healthy action to all
parts of the system. A healthy family is a wealthy family;
it may be poor in worldly goods, but possessed of a priceless
iewel that all the riches of earth cannot buv. A healthv f amilv cyLcV
may not carry in their veins
tmguished ancestors, but vigorous health is .always an evidence of the
best and purest blood, for the vital fluid contains all material necessary
for the making of bone and muscle and the growth and development of
the body, and upon its purity
body is fed upon weak, sickly blood the system languishes, growth is stunted, disease
enters without hindrance, and the simplest maladies are apt to develop into serious sick
ness. In so many ways does the blood become contaminated that the fewest number succeed
in keeping this life-giving, health-sustaining fluid in a pure and natural state. We inherit
the disease-tainted blood of ancestors, parents transmit to their children such impoverished
and weak blood that their lives are a continuous battle againt disease, and from earliest
infancy are harassed by sores and the most

and ulcers, Eczema, Boils, Malaria and a long train of other diseases follow.
If you do not come of a strong and vigorous family and your blood shows evidence of im
purity, nothing will so quickly bring it back to a healthy condition as S. S. S., the most
widely known and popular blood remedy on the market. It purifies and builds up weak,
taken by old and young without any bad after effects or injury to the system. As a blood
purifier and tonic at this season S. S. S. has no superior. It puts the bloofl in good order,
removes all poisonous accumulations, invigorates all parts of the system and prevents that
debilitated, tired feeling common to this time of year. Keeping the blood healthy is the
secret of all healthy families. Write us if in need of medical advice, which our physicians

enhanced by memory.
Classical allusions have gone out nowa
days, but one can't help enjoying them In
such an author, say, as Macaulay, who has
them at his" tongue's end. They may not
mean anything definite, but they recall the
hazy days of youth, when one was on
good terms with Charon, Cerberus and the
Styx; when the adventures of Odysseus
and the labors of Hercules and the dra
gon's teeth of Cadmus were still part
of one's mental furniture.
