1 THE CHRISTMAS EDITION.
Deseret Evening News.: Goodwin's
Weekly, edited by LeRoy Armstrong,
takes a long stride ahead of the high
standards previously maintained by its
former publisher, C. C. Goodwin. Read
ers of this journal have learned in past
years to look forward to an interest
ing number at the Christmas season.
This year its best friends were more
than pleased with the general excel
lence of the publication. Mr. Arm
strong's pen figures prominently in the
number and his virile style of writing
contributes to the general enjoyment
of the pages. Numerous special arti
cles from well known contributors
I make It a worthy publication, one
that may be read with interest and
nrofit.

A BLACK EYE FOR BLUE-EYED.
MEN.
i
i
i Now the man with blue eyes, hith
erto regarded as an amiable, agree
able citizen, is called upon to prove
an alibi in the divorce records. A
Kansas City official declares that the
large percentage of wife deserters
have blue eyes.
The clerk of the court of domestic
relations in Chicago offers testimony
to prove the charge not well ground
ed, but he spoils it all by admitting
that nearly all the men who como be
fore his court on account of domestic
troubles keep their eyes "glued to the
floor," and he is not able to judge
as to color.
A correspondent from Richmond,
Mo., rushes to the defense of the ac
cused in a letter to the Star yesterday
with the declaration that a majority
of men have blue eyes, therefore, the
percentage in any test would show
the same results. But the Richmond
correspondent admits the possession
of a pair of sky-blue optics. Away
I with that prejudiced testimony.
It Is up to the blue-eyed men to
"take some action," as the politicians
say. Possibly the organization of an
association of Blue-Eyed Homo Stay
ers would help. A set of ringing
resolutions might answer the purpose.
Rank outsiders could hardly assume to
dictate what action should be taken in
such an important case at such a cri
tical time. But oven the blue-eyed
men must admit that Something
Should Bo Done.

3 Sermon for tKoba? HEKNMTWAS
ffli DR. WILLIAM LOWE BRYAN. President of Indiana Univeniiy
IN all that you have learned within
or without the schools, there is
nothing more important than what
you know or believe you know about
human nature. You have been told
nany conflctlng things. You have
been told that men are on the whole
very good, that they are friendly, gen
erous, trustworthy, and that the joy
of life lies in friendship and in co
operation with your fellows. You have
been told .that where men do fall short
of what they should be they are teach
able, that they can be reached and
touched and changed and made right,
and that the highest and happiest life
work is in some way to make men bet
ter, and then to live and die com
passed about by their gratitude.
On the other hand, you have heard
an entirely different story. You have
heard from many high sources that
life is essentially tragic, that under all
the shows of civilization and religion,
life is war, as relentless as ever it was
In the jungle, and that the hope of
making society really better is for
ever an illusion. The honorable Bru
tus, it is said, the noblest Roman of
them all is never able to regenerate
Rome. He comes at last to his Phil
lippl and is slain by the corrupt society
which he has sought to save. The gen
erous Timon, they say, who lavishes
his wealth upon those about him, al
ways finds himself forsaken in his ad
versity, and can only turn upon man
kind with rage and curses. Prince
Hamlet, we are told, finds always that
the state of Denmark Is rotten and
can only cry, "How weary, flat, stale,
and unprofitable seem to me all the
uses of the world." According to this
tragic view of life, Moses, the nation
maker, who loads the people out of
Egypt through the desert toward the
Holy Land, is always stricken with
despair, not by his enemies but by
the perversity and treachery of his
own people.
Now, In hearing and weighing these
and other conflicting views as to what
the truth Is about human nature, it is
surely worth while to hear and to
weigh the view of Him of whom it
was said, "He knew what was in man."
What did Ho see in us?
For one thing, He saw the evil. No
man hater ever saw It blacker. He
knew that there is In man lust and
murder and treachery and a covering
of hypocrisy. He know no philosophy
with which to take those things light
ly. They wore to Him infinitely more
dreadful than the lash or the crown
of thorns. Tho worst of them was
disloyalty the disloyalty of his
friends. "He came unto his own and
his own received him not." He wept
over Jerusalem and said: "0 Jerusa
lem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prohpets and stonest thorn that are
sent unto thee, how often would 1
have gathered your children together
vcn as a hen doth gather her brood
under her wings, and ye would not."
lie was botrayod by one of the twelve
for money. On the last night they all
denied that he know his Master.
If ever a man was justified in turn
ing with tragic hoplessness away from
the human race, it was Jesus of Naza
reth. Why did He not give us up? The
answer is, because He knew what was
in man. Because underneath the man
of lust and murder and treachery Ho
saw another man who cannot be given
up. He knew the passion which led
him from his father's house Into every
Iniquity; but He also knew that in
the prodigal there was a deeper pas
sion, which, if awakened, would lead
him from among the swine back to
the life where he belonged. He know
the disloyal cowardice of Peter, but
he knew that below the cowardice and
disloyalty there was a Peter who would
stand like a rock in a storm. He
looked out from his cross upon a jeer
ing multitude, symbol of the vaster
multitude who forever jeer and crucify
the good, and there He performed hla
supreme miracle. He believed in them
He saw through the darkness and
through the whirlwind of evil passion
the real multitude, whose deepest law,
whose deepest necessity, is that they
shall be loyal to each other and to
their Father in Heaven.
My children, believe this man. Life
is as tragic as He saw it. Life is as
terrible as you will know. You may
fight as the tigers do until your turn
comes to perish. You may curse with
Timon. You may despair with Ham
let. Or, with Jesus of Nazareth, you
may find a place within where there
are neither curses nor despair nor
war, but where there lives an uncon
querable courage for every task which
can come to you before the going down
of the sun.
