Clarke, Emily Marrott, Don Taylor, -Berniece Miller, Jean Paulson, Farrin Gurney and Owen Cullimore. The players were well adapted to their respective roles and played their parts in a manner that gave evidence of careful study and coaching.

The mails are continually flooded with merchandise from fakirs of this class and while the public has repeatedly been warned many conto went money" for things to them unsolicited and usually with a "charity" appeal. It will be of interest to American Fork people to whom ties are sent to know that the company which is using the "Paunee Bill" sob story employ 60 typists and from 1 800 to 400 other girls in its factory and shipping department. "Necktie Tyler'" outfit. is similarly operated. Bach of the companies has as much as $8000 worth of ties in a mall at one time and each is getting rich off the suck.

who remit. Postmaster J. E. Chadwick says that the postal authorities have done everything within their power 10' safeguard the people against these grafters. Merchandise offered for sale under their system can no longer sent registered or with anything to indicate whether it is delivered or not.

This means that every man, wo. man or child who gets a bunch of ties, fountain pens, or anything. of that nature could dump the junk toto the 'ash barrel at the local postoffice, or keep it and refuse to pay and no trouble could possibly result from such an act.

It gives me much couragement and makes me realize more fully 1 my responsibility which only magnifies my esteem for this great work of the Lord. am enjoying my missionary experiences immensely and am beginning to ap. preciate as I never did before the Gospel and the direct relationship with mankind. The people here have a tendency to be very indifferent toward religion and while many doctrines of Mor. monism have been badly commercia.

lized upon and misrepresented, num. erous individuals are scrutinizing the same and without exception are 1 And. ing it permeated with eternal gospel truth. -My only wish is that the exper lences of a missionary could. be made in reality more universal.

Because through humbleness and humility which is evidently essential to success of every -missionary, Our Maker becomes looked upon as every day companion rather than just one to worship. In spite of the ever-present work beings of the adversary, the work of the Lord is forging ahead. For I know that His plan is eternal and founded upon truth thus His purposes cannot be thwarted. How well did the Savior say "If ye continue in my word, then ye are my desciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." I know that every true Latter-day Saint has this same testimony. Thanking you again for my weekly reception of your publication and praying the Lord to grant your tinued success.
