By it man will be judged. Section 1 of the Doctrine and Cove- The advice was given, and is here nants, the Lord has the following to emphasized and strongly urged, to read say: the conference pamphlet. Most of "And the arm of the Lord shall be the men who spoke are sustained as revealed; and the day cometh that they prophets, seers and revelators. Their who will not hear the voice of the words should be viewed as modern Lord, neither the voice of his servants, scripture, as the word of the Lord neither give heed to the words of the brought down to date. They will prophets and apostles, shall be cut off prove a stimulating spiritual tonic to from among the people. * * * They all who ponder over them. Church seek not the Lord to establish his right- members who view these instructions eousness, but every man walketh in his in any other light place themselves in own way, and after the image of his the same class with those Pharisees own God, whose image is in the like- anciently who revered the dead proph- ness of the world."- — C. A Lover of His Fellow-men A modest, gray-haired man called at the Era office recently. It was Levi J. Taylor, of Ogden. seventy-seven years old, erect, alert, clear-eyed. During the conversation which ensued it was learned that, although he lives forty miles from the Salt Lake temple, he was absent but three working days from Novem- ber 22, 1922, when he was set apart as a worker in the house of the Lord, to November, 1928. During these six years of service, he has assisted with 563 companies, approximately 112,000 people; has helped with 15,701 baptisms and confirmations; ordained 22,377 elders; given 44 blessings. And all this has been done gratuitously, purely out of love for his fellow-man. Brother Taylor had the flu during the past winter and has not been able to attend to his work with the same regularity but he is still working almost daily. The Tipple The tipple is an enormous contrivance built for the purpose of sorting coal, and is found in practically all coal camps of any consequence. It is built at the terminal of the tramway or pit-car runway, and must be of sufficient height for railway cars to run under the chutes. On the top. and at the end of the pit-car line is an apparatus which, either by tilting the pit-car up and pulling an end-gate or by completely revolving the car upside-down, the coal is dumped into a bin which feeds out upon the shakers. But this is not all. There are five or six railway tracks running under the shakers upon which appropriate cars are spotted for the purpose of receiving the graded coal. How like life is the tipple! 1 . The slack falls through first. 2. The nuts do not reach the end of the shakers. 3. The nut is more desirable than the slack. 4. The largest goes the farthest, and commands the highest price — -it is most desirable. How, indeed, like life is the shaking process of the tipple. — Lloyd O. lute.
