Here again, the "Mormon" prophet anticipated the world of science; and his conceptions are simpler and more direct than those invented by the truth- seekers, who depended upon themselves and their own powers. Marvelous is this view of the founder of "Mormonism." Where did he learn in his short life, amidst sufferings and persecution such as few men have known, the greatest mysteries of the uni- verse !

CITY. Out in the wild and rocky west White-tipped with many a season's snows, In rare and rural beauty dressed, A stream of revelation flows. Along its shady, winding banks, The grass, the flowers, the woodlands grow. And birds are sweet in tuneful thanks For floods that never cease to flow. The sunny earth's flower-garden where, Beneath a cloudless sky and calm, In honest praise the nations share In many a sweet and holy psalm. Full oft along its sacred brink, Man, weary of his round of strife, Seeks refuge, soul athirst, to drink The waters of eternal life. There when the sun of life declines Towards its setting in the west, The quiet star of hope still shines To light the pilgrim to his rest. To human kind a mystery! A miracle upon the land! A world of light and liberty! A Nile in a Sahara's sand!
