Men will be ndemned as they merit condemuaon, and their condemnation will vary cording to the variation there is in eir sins. Paul, in writing to the printhians, explains this. He comres one glory to the glory of the sun supernal, exceeding all glory which e human mind can conceive of. He es the figure because it is the most orious orb of which we have any nowledge. That is the exaltation those who keep all the comandments of God and are faithful to im in all things.

THE FOREST FIRES.

HUNTINGTON, Pa., May 12.-Over 4000 acres of valuable timber lands are aflame within a radius of seven miles of this place and in distant parts of the county wood land is being swept away to an alarming extent. The mountain fires are beyond human control and can only be extinguished by a rainfall. The farmers in the whole burning district have sustained irreparable losses to fencing and hundreds of acres of growing grain is ruined. Many farm buildings are threatened.

FARM PROPERTY DESTROYED. DULUTH, May 12.-Forest fires are raging in every direction near here, and great damage is being done. The Duluth fire department was called to Lester Park today, and had hard work to save the place from destruction. It is reported that much farm property is destroyed and more in danger.

salvation that has been wrought out
through the atonement of the Son of
God, enabling all of us to have a path-
way free from obstacles that are insur-
mountable. Some of our people im-
agine that when they are baptized for
their friends they are all going to be
saved in one glory. If this were so,
why would there be what we term
telestial glory? You read the revela-
tions upon this point, and it tells us
plainly that there are some, and they
are counted by millions, who will not
receive the Gospel of Christ neither the
testimony of Jesus, and they will be
consigned to the telestial glory. There
are some who will come forth, who
have lived without hearing the Gospel,
and will attain unto celestial glory; for
God will only judge by that which
they have done, bad they had the op-
portunity. There are thousands of
noble spirits in the heathen world who, standing and cut tim er. Much farm

from God. But they died without the run into hundreds of thousands of
opportunity. God will not damu them
because of this; for His plan of salva-
tion is not confined to this life; it ex-
tends throughout eternity; and there
are millions of people who have lived
and have died in ignorance of the
name of Jesus and the plan of salva-
tion, who doubtless would have re-
ceived it had they lived at a time
when they could have heard it. There-
fore, God will judge them by their good
desires and their feelings, and that
which they would have done had they
had the opporturity. Consequently
there will be as many differences be-
tween the spirits in the spirit world as
there are differences today in spirits
that are upon the earth--some who are
worthy of celestial glory, some who are
worthy of terrestrial glory, and some
who are only worthy of telestial glory,
of which the stars are a similitude.
There is this difference in the human
family, and this arises from the fact
that we all have our agency. We all
have the power given unto us to obey,
or disobey, to rise or not to rise.
You see this in families; you see it in
brothers, born of the same parents; you
see it in sisters. All these differences
will always exist to a greater or less
extent throughout eternity. But God
has devised a plan of salvation that
will bring us all to a certain amount of
glory, and each one of us will receive
a glory far beyond anything that we
can possibly conceive of, even if we
have been sinners. But it is far better
to repent of our sins and have them
blotted out, so that we may receive the
greater glory and the greater exaltation.
God bless you, in the name of Jesus.
Amen.

THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. The steamship Alameda brought advices regarding the Australian Federation Convention, which was concluded April 9th, having prepared the draft of a constitution for the proposed federation which will be submitted to the people of the colonies for approval. As soon as the colonies accept the constitution it will be sent to England for the assent of the Imperial Parliament and if ratified the Queen will, by proclamation, appoint a day when the commonwealth of Australia is to be established, and will also appoint a Governor-General. The salient points

of the constitution are:

The federation will be known as the Commonwealth of Australia and the colonies be called States. The Legislature will consist of a Senate and House of Representatives, to be called Parliament. A Governor-General, to be appointed by the Queen and receive a salary of not less than £10,000. Parliaments shall be held as appointed by the governor, but there is to be a session at least once every year. The Senate will be composed of eight members from each State, chosen by the house of parliament of each State. The senators will be chosen for six years; one-half the members to retire every three years. The president of the Senate will be chosen by the Senate. The House of Representatives will be chosen by the people of the several States in proportion to the Gentlemen.-We return herewith the numbers, each State to have one repre- report of the city engineer with his estisentative for every 30,000 people, but for paving, curbing and guttering District No. 1, with the recomthe minimum number of representa-mendation that the Council as a body tives for each State shall be four.

Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, you are aware that my treatment has not been such, by the two papers, that my resolution would benefit to warrant me in taking this course, but I want to see a judicious and economical expenditure of the city's finances.

Mr. Lynn (interrupting the speaker) -Mr. Mayor, this speech is out of order as there is no motion before the house. Mayor Scott-The point is well taken, Mr. Lynn; I rule the gentleman out of

order.

Mr. Pembroke (assuming an air of injured innocence) Then, Mr. Mayor, allow me to file this paper, which contains my resignation as a member of

this council.

The paper was handed back to Recorder Jack, who, with trembling voice and bated breath, read as follows:

Gentlemen-One of the pledges made by the Liberal party when asking support of Salt Lake's citizens was "That public work should be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder." In presenting the matter on the 5th inst., of which the resolution in reference to advertising presented this evening, in effect, is a counterpart, I was actuated simply by a desire to carry out the pledges there stated. In presenting the resolution this evening I had simply the wish that you should have an opportunity to reflect that in supporting it you were doing your duty in fulfilling the pledge of your party. In the repudiation of the resolution there is evidence of dishonesty or misconception of its import, in accepting the pledge you made by accepting office under the party whose pledge it was,and inasmuch as you have proven that you were untrue to this pledge, and the party impotent to enforce its observance, self-respect dictates to me a resignation from a body which, to say the least, has so much thoughtlessness or so little self-respect, I therefore renounce the party and resign from this council, said resignation to take effect at once.

There is therefore a reasonable promise of an extraordinary export of wheat at much above average prices during next fall and winter.
