THE NEW YEAR AND NEW CENTURY. A Happy New Year and New Century to 11 all our readers and patrons and to the public generally. Many peculiar emotions are. and awakened, memories, or long ago called up on entering, not only the new year, (so often done before) but the new century, the last of the two thousand years since the birth of the Savior. Greetings from great writers, and great leaders, heroes, statesmen and authors have been sent out to the world in a spirit of love and one may assume from and good-wilthis that the world is in greater harmony as a whole than ever before. It .is good to pause .sometimes on the apself proach of a given period and into consideration, and ascertain if possible diow one stands toward the world as regards humanity at large. Whether the Golden Rule is beidg observed or if there is a nearer approach to loving one's neighbor. To examine one's own heart is good for us all, if we will be as exaet-wj- th ourselves as we would be with others. We are certainly living in a wonderful age, and it behooves us to do our part well in the great program that has been prepared for the Latter-dadispensation. The prophecy of the future as we re.td it in the sacred books that have been written by inspired men in the different periods of time .in the. past, all point to the day in which we live. Already the Saints have accomplished much temporally in building Temples iuxwhich sacred rites and ordinances are being solemnized for the living anil roj tne oeaa; ana ere many decades in the new century have come and gone, the greater Temple in Jackson County will behuilt and dedicated.'.
