No. 3 of the Articles of Faith. The Atonement wrought by Jesus Christ is a matter of professed belief, and, indeed, is a feature at once prominent and essential, in any system of distinctively Christian religion. This belief, if vitalized by works in accordance therewith, constitutes faith in Christ as the Redeemer and Savior of the human race, and the unreserved acceptance of Him a the literal Son of the ' 'Living God. , The knowledge that Jesus is the Christ is apersonal possession. Books, study, argument and logical deductions may assist in the quest for this saving knowledge, but of themselves these means are inadequate. The most they can do is to put the investigator on inquiry and aid him in his search. Individual testimony and personal assurance spring up in the heart as does pure and holy love, independent of and superior to all studied demonstrations. The conviction that Jesus is the Messiah, and that salvation is to be obtained only through allegiance and obedience to the laws of the Gospel established by Him, in a gift from the Father, bestowed only upon those who through humility, repentance, faith and prayer, are worthy to receive it, but liberally imparted $o every soul fit to receive. in brief strmmuTy it marbe statedthatrtig"effect-o- f the Atonement is (1) Redemption or the human race from physical death, which entered the world as a result of Adams transgression ; and (2) Salvation, whereby means of relief from the results of individual lain are provided. Although these facts are plainly set forth, the Atonement remains to many 4 mystery. Let jus go back to early scenes, such, as were enacted before Adam was placed on earth, and while the earth itself was being prepared as a fitting abode for the human two-fol- family. The Primeval Conflict In ReVelation 12:7-- 9 we ryad: There was war in Heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was'cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. John, the Apostle and Revelator, beheld in vision this scene of primeval conflict between the hosts of unembodied spirits. Plainly the actual event antedated the beginning of human history, for the dragon, or Lucifer, had not then been expelled from heaven, and at the time pf his first recorded activity among embodied beings upon the earth he was a deposed and fallen creature. In this contention the forces were unequally divided. Lucifer drew to his standard only a third of the' spirit-host- s, while the majority either fought with Michael or refrained from active opposition, and --so accomplished the purpose of their first estate. The angels who followed Lucifer kept not their first estate (Jude 6), and so forfeited the glorious possibilities of an advanced or second estate. The victory was won by Michael and his angels; yhile Lucifer, theretofore a Son of the Morning, was cast out of heaven, yes, he was cafet out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. Further information relating to these momentous occurrences is given through a divine revelation to Abraham, the text of which has been published in these latter days as an inspired translation from ancient records by the Prophet Joseph Smith, as follows: And they who keep their first estate shall be qdded upon ; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in thg same kingdom with those who keep their first estate ; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever. And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? And ope answer'd like unto the Son of Man : Here am I, send me. And another answered and said : Here am I, send me. And the Lord said : I will send the first. And the second was angry, and kept not his first estate ; and, at that day, many followed after him.

The Question At Issue About eight centuries prior to the time of John the Revelator, the principal facts relating to the expulsion of Lucifer arid his followers were revealed to Isaiah ThF prophet, who lamented with inspired pathos the fall of so great a one, and specified blasphemous ambition as the cause. Read Isaiah 14:12-1The question at issue jn the War in Heaven is of prime importance to humankind. From the record of Isaiah we leam that Lucifer, then of exalted rank among 5. PAGE THREE the sprits, bought to aggrandize himself without regard to the rights and agency of others. He aspired to the powers of absolute autocracy. The principal for which Michael, the archangel, contended, and which Lucifer sought to nullify, tomprised the individual liberties or the destined to be embodied in free, agency of the spirit-host- s the flesh. The matter is set forth in a revelation given to Moses, and repeated through the first prophet of rihe latter-da- y . dispensation: . And 1, the .Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan? whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning. Tmd he came before me, saying Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and .surely-1,- ' will do it! wherefore give me thine honor. But, behoid, my Sort, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever. Wherefore, because thaFSatan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy of man, w hich I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should gie unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten I caused that he should be cast down ; and he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them .captive at his will, even as many as would not harken unto my voice. (Pearl of Great Price, ty. 8.) J Thus it is shown that before this earth was tenanted by man, Christ and Lucifer, together with the innumerable existed as intelligent individuals, with ability and pgwer of choice, and freedom to follow the' leaders whom they chose to obey. In that great concourse the Fathers plan, whereby His children would be advanced to their second estate, was submitted and doubtless discussed. Lucifers scheme of compulsion, hereby all on earth would be forcibly guided through mortality, bereft of freedom to act and agency to choose, so circum ricribed that not one soul could be lost, was rejected; and thri humble offer of the Firstborn to live among men as their exemplar, acknowledging the sanctity of individual agency while teaching men to use that divine heritage aright was accepted.

During the summer William and his father made a home in Sf'. Nauvoo.. At the October conferenceElder Hyde Elder Benjamin S. Wilber, was called onmissiori to the state of Vermont. They made their waWas best they could preaching and baptizing by the way. He risited the old home in Vermont and also the town of Sharon, the birth place of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Upon his return from this mission he was sent, in company with Erastus Snow, again to Vermont. Politics was engaging the attention of the nation at that time. In connection with the preaching of the gospel, these Elders were instructed to inform the Saints in regard to the attitude of the church toward their choice fdr president. , . Elder Hyde and Elder Snow felt impressed that the S&ints were facing serious trouble, they decided to return to Nauvoo, where the learned of the assassination of Joseph and Hyrum. In his journal Elder Hyde says: VOn receiving this information, my soul sickened anPI weplj before the Lord; and for a time it seem( ed that the very heavens were clad in mourning. In July 1836 the Hyde Family left Nauvoo and traveled with th,eCamps of Israel to Council Bluff3 where they .arrived July 12' When the call was made by the government for five hundred men to form a Battalion, William Hyde proved his patriotism by joining that immortal body of men, the Mormon Battalion.

Now it requires with Mrs. Maranda Olson ptesid- - F itsthe . WIDE AND VARIED PIONEER LIFE I accordance with tvhich every soul shall be redeemed and may be saved. Let us here note the distinction, which appears in ancient Scripture, and which is emphasized and clarified through later revelation, between Redemption and Salvation. Redemption is the rescue of the soul from the state of disembodiment or death. This liberation shall come to all who have lived upon the earth, irrespective of their state of righteousness or sin, save as to the time and order of their coming forth, for there is. a resur- -' rection of the just, and there is provision for a resurrection of the unjust. (See John 5:29.) The resurrection from the dead is to ' be ' universal, operative on the entire human family as truly universal as are the effects of the Fall whereby death first assailed, mankind. Inasmuch as by the transgression of one man sin came into the world, and death was entailed upon all, in consequence, it is consistent with reason that redemption worn deatly thus made necessary, should be wrought by One. Mhisyivas understood aforetime, as witness the. words of Pain: Wherefore, as by man sin entered into the world, and death by sin ; and so death passed upon all inen, for that all have sinned. . . . Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condem--natio- n ; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Romans 5:12, 18) And, further: For since by man came death,' by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (I Cor.15riJl,22.) Salvation is more than Redemption; in the mind of God, and given to man through His Son Jesus Christ; whereby the degenerating and disastrous effect of individual sin may be atoned for the panacea by which the loathsome disease of sin may bj cured. Rescue from death, or redemption, is genera salvation is individual a strictly personal matter, tainable only through compliance with the prescribed laws and ordinances of the Gospel as laid down by the Savior. The establishment of this certainty of redemption, or the ultimate resurrection of all who have lived in the flesh, and the opportunity of salvation, which is accessible to all, together constitute .the Atonement, accomplished through and by the appointed ministry and saeri sacrifice indispensable to filial deattLlnUsn usjLKrtstthe salvation of fnan for Christ had to die in order to overcome death, first with respect to Himself, and then as a natural consequence, with respect to all mankind. Without redemption, or resurrection from the state of disembodiment, known to us as death, there could be no salvation, as this in its most significent aspect involves eternal progression, for the accomplishment of which the inseparable union of spirit and body is essential. , (To Be Continued) adop-hous- JVILLIAM HYDE, MEMBER OP THE UlORMON BATTALION;' A MAN OF . perk)d-Qf-mQrta- ur " UTAH s J 1 1 - - Chevrolet aiiBabiiBflceg A SHEW Isaac-Wool- u IE WUCIE IP.
