I paid the money over to Johnson, and he took the sack over to the Mexican, who raised his hat and said 'good-bye' in Spanish. We went to the bank and made the discovery that the bricks were spurious. I saw Leonard on the Rio Grande train the next morning. The Mexican and this man Leonard are one and the same person.

A discussion arose as to whether or not the Judge was entitled to review the evidence on both sides to point out any irregularities. Mr. Evans was positive that no such evidence could be reviewed in this court, but the court decided that he would hear the

case.

George Sutherland made a statement of the case to the Judge, showing how Mr. Leonard was implicated in putting up a job on Mr. Whitmore.

Herman Knudsen was sworn and testified to having seen the defendant about two weeks ago at Fisher's farm, west of Provo, traveling toward the city. He turned in a northward direction toward the river and disappeared into the willows. He afterwards came out and went towards Provo. Witness also saw Whitmore and Turner go to the same place as Leonard and come away soon after. This was about 6 o'clock p. m. The witness thought Leonard would have time to change his costume while he was in the willows. He also saw him the morning previous on the highway, near the same place. He was positive about it being the same man.

Andrew Knudsen testified to having seen the defendant upon the same occasion.

Agent Taggart, of the Rio Grande Western, saw the defendant meet Mr. Whitmore and a Spaniard at the depot as the southern Union Pacific train came in, Monday, April 20, and drive away with them. He also saw the defendant leave on the west-bound train the following day and Mr. Whitmore was with him.

On cross examination; Whitmore related what had occurred at the jail at Salt Lake City, stating he asked the prisoner where the other men were. He didn't threaten to kill him if he didn't tell if he was the Mexican or where they were. I put a buckskin string around his thumb and twisted it. There was a bolt attached to the string. There was no blood flowing after the punishment. I deny what was published in the Salt Lake Tribune. I ordered this man's arrest near Salt Lake City.

Newel Knight testified to the defendant getting a horse of him on Monday, March 20, between 7 and 8 o'clock.

William Hill testified that he arrested the defendant, because he thought he was a suspicious character, and was not ordered to do so by Whitmore, but that on the way to the jail Whitmore told him that he thought he was the Mexican who had perpetrated the swindle.

The defendant was admitted to bail

The Moscow correspondent of the Standard dwells upon the disorganiza tion of business through the sudden ex pulsion of the Jews, all engaged in various business agencies. The cor respondent says it is found impossible to collect debts and hundreds of bills are protested daily. The judge of the Commercial court has been obliged to telegraph to the minister of finance for instructions as to how to act in the emergency. Many traders in the Jewish quarters are facing bankruptcy owing to the departure of the Jews, who only left their belongings to cover debts amounting to $650,000. At St. Petersburg a synagogue has already been sold for $45,000. A new and unused synagogue in Moscow has been offered for sale, as it is useless.

A Moscow letter to the Times records the sacrifices made by the Jewish emigrants. In many cases they have sold their belongings for the merest trifle, chairs being bought for two pence and a bed for six pence. Many persons destroyed their goods in preference to selling them at a sacrifice. Many persons declined to pay debts owing to the Jews.

Heartrending scenes are witnessed daily in the synagogues, people weeping and praying to Jehovah to help them.

Thousands of workmen are idle whe have hitherto been employed by Jews. Foreign importers are keeping back goods on the frontier. It is reported that one Swiss silk firm has lost $4000 in a single week. The letter confirms the Standard's dispatch as to the business collapse. Neither the Jews nor Gentiles are paying their debts. The correspondent declares it a shame that rich Jewish bankers are not touched by the government's decrees and yet do not appear to help their unfortunate brethren as they might.

The Scriptures say that in the latter days "The last shall be the first and the first the last." When the Lord was on the earth and personally administered to the children of men, the Gospel was carried to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." At the beginning of His mission he admonished His servants to go not to the Gentiles, but to limit their labors to the chosen people. But subsequently this restriction was taken off, and Cornelius was the first Gentile who embraced the Gospel, Peter having been specially directed to admit hint to the fold. After this the

light was to break forth among
the Gentiles and go from them
to the house of Israel. In con-
sequence of this, the Latter-day
Saints are here gathered from the vari-
ous nations of the earth, and we claim
ceived the everlasting Gospel, to preach
that it devolves upon us, who have re-

"And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my Gospel;

"And then shall they look for me, and behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory, with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off."

The difference between the information given in this revelation and that recorded by Matthew is that in the later explanation the events are given in their consecutive order and are therefore clearer, and consequently easier to be understood. The destruction of Jerusalem is first set forth; then the scattering of the Jews; then the events which we expect to take place in our own time and which will constitute the preparation for the coming of the King of Glory.

There is a statement in Matthew to the effect that, as one of the signs of the approach of the second advent, "This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come." In the revelation given through Joseph Smith the same statement occurs in another form. "A light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness and it shall be the fulness of my Gospel but they receive it not for they perceive not the light,

every people in order that the Lord's purposes may be accomplished. Now, as to the character of the Gospel to which Christ referred, and which He designated as that of the Kingdom, it enjoins upon us that we shall believe in Christ, accept Him as our Redeemer and of the sacrifice He made for the whole human family. Having taken this step we must seek to become new creatures, by placing our feet upon the path of regeneration, repenting of our sins and all false traditions. This repentance must be genuine, resulting in the putting away of all unrighteousness. We must repent with a repentance that need not to be repented of.

in an

Having placed ourselves obedient attitude, we are prepared to descend into the waters of regeneration being immersed for the remission of sins, that these may be no more remembered against us. This ordinance must be attended to by one having authority to act in the name of Christ. Otherwise it would be of no avail, as the Redeemer must be represented in the transaction. He must be present through His agent, whom He has authorized in order that the administration may be recognized by Him. Heuce our Lord says to His duly commission servants: "He who receiveth you receiveth me and he who rejecteth you rejecteth me, and he who rejecteth me rejecteth my Father who sent me,' showing that the Lord honors his authorized agents when in the line of their duty. Hence, when a repentant believer is baptized and the ordinance is administered by a servant of God who holds the authority to act, his sins are remitted and will never more be held against him. He is now prepared to receive the Holy Ghost, and the spiritual gifts thereof, without which a church would be only a dead body, having "a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
