New Year Sermons.
In all the churches Sunday Mormons
appropriate to the. season of the year
were preached. Special music was In
order. At the First Baptist church the
Ilev. T. E. Jepson preached a very ap
propriate sermon especially to the
young people of his eoheregatlon. which
was listened to with rapt attention, lie
took for his text. Proverbs. 1::'0. "And
whoso trusteth lu the Lord, happy is
he," which he desired his M-aple to ac
cept as a XVw Year's motto. In the
course of an able discourse, he tersely
dwelt upon the lnsatiuble desire of man
for happiness and vividly described the
various methods employed by mankind
to attain It: such as the desire for
public oltlclullsni. the hlKher profession
In social life, the universal craving for
wealth, and the plunging into the whirl
of pleasure, all of which were devoid
'of and unconduclve to real happiness,
lie advised his hearers that the best
means to attain the prize and thus have
a huppy new year, was by abstaining
merlin trouble half way. to look
on the brisht side of things, and above
all plucinK their trust In the Lord,
i The service throughout was of a most
Impressive character, and the anthem
rendered by the efficient chorister was
much enjoyed.
