There has been no law passed contrary con-trary to the ruling of the State School Superintendent, and this still stands.

' ' Editor Tribuno: In tho query col-' col-' umn of last Friday's issue of the Senii-, Senii-, Weekly was a question from nn "old subscriber" in Jlagcnnan, Ida,, about Rev. Lamb nnd his book, "The Golden Bible." I note in vour answer that, you don't know nnvthing about it nnd so tho "old subscriber" iB loft in the dark. Judging from tho nature of his ' question, he wants to procure a copy of . the "Golden Bible," For the benefit ; of this fellow-reader of The Tribune I and every one who wants to investi-j investi-j gate the foundation of Mormonism. iho j Hook of Morinpn, I cnu give the follow-J follow-J ing information. Row Lamb was pastor pas-tor of a Baptist church in New Jersey only a few voars ago and probably is ho still. His book. "Tho Golden Bible," Bi-ble," is out of print. I should think that, a few copies can be found at ono of the larger book stores in Salt Lake City, but a revision of "Tho Golden Bible." written by Rev. M. T. Lamb, was published in 1003 by the American Baptist Publication Society, 1G30 Chestnut Chest-nut street, Philadelphia. Pa. The name of this new book is "The Mormons and Their Bible." -think it can be had at above address for thirty or forty cents in stamps. It is the best and most trustworthy book on tho sub.icct. to be found. 1 would suggest that The ' Tribune should have a supply of that J book on hand. Yours trulv. REV. A. G. SANDBLbM. We arc obliged to Mr. Sandblom for I his interest in this query, but ho is mistaken when he savs that the querv was about "The Golden Bible." and that wo said we didn't know anything abour it. What wo said was that we hadn't heard of Dr. Lamb for manv years, and didn't know whether ho is alivo or not. We did not speak of his "Golden Bible." Wc thank Mr. Sandblom Sand-blom however, for the information carried car-ried in his communication, and should be glad to hoar from him again. i .Salt Lake City. April 0.
