Fiom the casual comparisons we have been able to rniiKe of Mr. Hicks' predictions, and the weather actually prevailing at the limes indicated we believe there is something in it, and that Mr. Hicks knows what he is talking about.

MAKE THEM DECENT. The Filipinos learned one lesson from the Spaniards, and learned it well; the lesson of cruelly. They are now practicing it upon their former teachers, coiurnittln horrible hor-rible atrocities upon the Spaniards who fall into their power. Thev are proving themselves devoid of any of the retinitis in Dunces of civilization civili-zation or humanity. Spain is well rid of such a horde of savages; hut what do we want to adopt them for? Logan Journal. And tho "horde of savages" are well-rid of their Spanish masters. The Spaniard never yet gave a captive nation half a chance to be decent, uo matter how earnestly that decency was desired. In short, the Philip- inos are now merely what the Spanish rule made them. The United States will give them the oppoitumtiea they need, an teach them how to better themselves. them-selves. Of course, its a large contract, but some one will have it to do, and Uncle Sam is at present, as well or better fitted for the work as any one and it would not be strange if there were in the secret archives arch-ives of its headquarters full and complete plans for movements from Springville south. Rumors of movements may be heard from time to time, but until something tangible in the way of eurveying parties and work trains is to be seen, there will come no word of either confirmation of denial from the Western. If Springville would be a suitable base for their operations oper-ations to the southward, that fact with fill "particulars is now no doubt in the possession of the proper officers, and will be used when the proper time comes.

Cm PI Ml Temperance in All Things. 1 .Cor. ix. 19-27. The person who is governed by the rule of Christian temperance will entirely abstain from that which is Injurious, and that which is whole some and good he will us carefuHy and judiciously. He will abstain from all that i hurtful, and he will be temperate in the use of all that is ticnetic.al. He will seek to glorify! God in all that he does, whether he eats or whether he drinks. Of course, everything hurtful and evil is to be entirely let alone. One can not be a temperate gambler, indulging in-dulging in the vice ouly a little, and so being a moderate gambler. If he engage in it at all he is entirely on the side of gambling and is a gambler. One can not be a temperate thief, indulging in-dulging only occasionally in the crime, and claim respectability on the ground of being a moderate and well-rlispositioned thief. If he steal at all, he is an out-and-out thief. Neither can one be a temperate drinker of intoxicating liquors, indulging in-dulging to only a certain degree, and claim that he is on the right and safe sido by virtue of his moderation. One should not attempt to be moderate moder-ate in the habitual and deliberate doing of what is hurtful, any more than to try to shoot a ball into his tlesh moderately or take a moderate dose of strychnine. But while we avoid and abstain" from what Is harmful, we are to be temperate in the use of what is right and good. One may be gluttonous in the use of food and drink that Is proper and healthful. He may eat and drink and sleep, and arise to eat and drink and sleep again. He may think and talk and plan his life along these lines. He may live in the sphere of mere animal life. It is one thing tc eat in order to live, and it is . another thing to live in order to eat. I One should be carefui;as to his health, and yet it Is possible for one to go to such extremes in caring for his bodily health as 1 1 forget what God sent him I to the world for. One must not think so much of health, or even or life Itself, as to neglect duty. Paul had to neglect his health, and many a soldier of Christ has had Wdie as other soldiers have done. We should have a clear conception of wh.it God made us for. Then we shuild bo persistent In saying, with Christ, "To this end was I born." and in living to accomplish it. Wc should 6.E.
