M, Wilson Wil-son to let me see the calaber of Argument he uses. I you were to pick out any ordinary man and have me examine exa-mine every act of his entire life, and then I was to publish only every bad thing that he did, what would you think of me? Well, that is exactly what I think of. Dr. Wilson. Wil-son. In his long criticism of the Bible, I looked in vain for even one good statement that it might contain. Let me quite a few siato-mens siato-mens of Dr. Wilson: 1. ,'Practieally all crimes in this country are committed by religious Christians." ' page 30. . 2. "One could fill a book from prison records of names of criminals crim-inals who were all religious; Hitler, Mussolini, Lucky Luciano, Franca, Capone, etc." page 38. 3. "The persons who, two thousand thou-sand years ago, claimed to be Christ, gathered a group of followers fol-lowers who ,in the few years that he operated, believed in his claims, but the more advanced Jews repudiated re-pudiated the belief. . . .and. . . . condemned him as a fraud, and were so incensed against him that they killed him and scattered his followers." page 33-31 Now Dick, some men reach an entirely different conclusion about circumstances surrounding the Saviour's Sa-viour's death. Let's see how George Q. Cannon thinks: "It seems unaccountable that any generation of men could be so blind to everything godlike, so dead to every human sentiment, so utterly cruel and barbarous, as not to recognize in the teachings, works and life of Cod's beloved Son, the divinity with which he was clothed and to nail him upon a cross between two thieves. Also that his chosen Apobtles, filled with -angelic power, preaching so pure a doctrine and laboring with self-denial and unselfish zeal for the salvation of mankind, should have been slain by the very people whose benefactors they sought to be," There must be another type of "religious man" that Dr. Wilson has not discovered. Let us look ft a statement of Jesus of Nazareth (Matt. 23 Chap.) regarding the hypocrite Dr. Wilson thinks of os being a religious leader: "The Scribes pud Pharisees Fit in Mo.-c-s' seat: All therefore they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works; For they say and do not Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!! For ye are like unto whited sepulchers which indeed appear ap-pear beautiful mil v. ard, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye aiso outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and in'ijuity. Woe unto you ye build tombs of the prophets, and gutnish the sepul-chers sepul-chers of the righteous, and say; If we bad b"en in the day of uur lather v.e v.vuhi not have i.

Wherefore ye be unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. pro-phets. ... Ye serpents, ye generation genera-tion of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell." Now let a man who was converted con-verted to God and then let temptation tempt-ation overcome him explain what happens after he had sinned and the spirit of God had left him. This man, Lyman Johnson, was ordained or-dained an apostle of Jesus Chris,1. February 14, 1835. Three years after his ordination charges of sinning were lodged against him and he was disfellowshlpped. Some years later he made the following statement state-ment at a meeting of the Council of Twelve: "Brethren. ... I will ce.11 you brethren, Twill tell you the truth. If I could believe .Mormonism. . . . it does not mailer whether if is true or not. . . , .but, if I could believe Mormonism as I did when I traveled and preached; if I possessed pos-sessed the world, I would give it; I would give anything; I would suffer my right hand to bo cut off, if I could only believe it again, "Then, I was full of joy and gladness, glad-ness, my dreams were pleasant. When I awoke in the morning my spirit was cheerful. I was happy by day and by night; full of peace and thanksgiving. But now it is darkness, dark-ness, pain, sorrow, misery in the extreme. I have never since seen a happy moment." Dick, I would like to ask you one question. Would you please answer an-swer it yes or no. Is. it within the realm of possibility that a person can sin and feel remorse? (I was going to quote Matt. 27: 3-10 as an illustration but this letter is now too long.) If you agree that a man can sin and feel remorse then, since according to the theory of evolution, man-kind is an appendage ap-pendage of the animal kingdom; therefore,. why don't we see some indication of such ability of remorse re-morse in any specie of animals? If there are any specific problems you have, Dick, would you please try and clothe them in words. The diseusskn of various differences of opinion may enable us to learn from each other. With kindest regards, Frank Law. Written in answer to Richard S. Morrisons highly controversial art icle of lat e.

Senate bill to extend indefinitely the Sugar Act, which governs sugar! commerce throughout this country, had the backing today of Utah senators sen-ators and beet sugar industry leaders. Senators Wallace F. Bennett and Frank E. (Ted) Moss, of Utah, introduced in-troduced the measure along with 46 other senators from both parlies. The bill was ordered printed this week and was referred to the Senate Sen-ate Finance Committee. A similar measure is expected to be introduced intro-duced in the House. Administration backing was voic- j ed when President Eisenhower call- j ed for extension of the Act in his budget message, The president urged urg-ed congressional action early in the present session of congress "in order to give sugar producers needed need-ed time for production planning.'' The bill is supported by all IS American beet sugar companies, sugar beet growers of Utah and 21 other producing states and all domestic dom-estic cane producers, including Louisiana, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The Sugar Act sets annual acreage acre-age pnd marketing allotments which have assured ample sugar supplies at stable prices for the past 25 yews.

They rise slowly, you've noticed, and they keep on forming and rising even when the glass is nearly empty. That's because the carbonation of Fisher Beer is in perfect balance to the altitude of our high mountain moun-tain country where Fisher is made.' This high-altitude brewing brew-ing explains why Fisher Beer has longer-lasting liveliness and zest. It is an important part of the taste pleasure so many people enjoy so many, in fact, that Fisher is the favorite beer of the mountain west. Next time, try Fisher. You'll like it.
