What will you think next Tuesday evening, at seven thirty when the town bell begins to ring? You may wonder, but dont get frightened, for there will be no impending danger. No one lost, no ones house ou fire. The cheerful tones of the bell will merely signify that iu one hour from the time it comences to ring, class in the school of the elders will begin, and you axe invited to attend. Over sixty students have enrolled and more than fifty of them were present at the last class. Dont let the Dell amuse or annoy you, prospective sudeute. Take '.its general reminder seriously, pick up your church books and come to school. You may want to learn, or it may .be your curiosity you want satisfied. In both events we are prepared to give satisfaction. Come, then, and investigate. The discussion last Tuesday was a liberal and spirited one. The subject, Resurrection of the Dead, is fascinating and full of meaning to the Latter-Day Saints.

If you desire your knowledge on this principle of religion expanded, here is a right up and going good opportunity.
