did not have much on the present Weber county jail, which is pic
tured above. This photograph, unretouched, was taken Friday
afternoon when the sun was shining brightly and there were evidences
or spring outside. But the prisoners in the poorly lighted, poorly ven
tilated and damp county jail did not know whether it was night or
day, summer or winter. It was all the same to them. We have con
demned the prison in India, the bastiles of the world and the war
prison camps, but right in our very midst there is a condition exist
ing that would make some of the prisons we have criticised, look
like a palace as compared to it. The jail is one of the sore spots on
the civilization of the state, a disgrace to any community and a men
ace to the life of human beings, that have been unfortunate enough
to err against the laws and society of man. . . . There is little won
der that Dr. T. B. Beady, of the state health board, so bitterly con
demned the jail and said that the state health board would compel the
building of a new jail from direct taxation if the county did not
make preparations to build a new one.
Now Mr. Taxpayer, if you have a few minutes to spare, go to the
county jail and let Sheriff Peterson or some of Ifls deputies show you
through the jail. After you see what the conditions really are, it's a
ten to one bet that you vote for the bonds next Wednesday and urge
your friends to do so.

REV. RAY PALMER'S

Dr. Ray Palmer preached Sunday

Theme "The Iplilted Christ, or Life
for a Took" John 3:14 "As Moses
hlteil up the Berpant in the wilderness
even bo must ihe son of man be lifted,
up that whosoever believeih in him,
should not perish but ha ve everlasting '
life."
There are striking parallels in Gen-,
e i- .md John; in Genesis we read;
"Let there be light;" in John we have,
these words, "There was the true light !
that lichteth every man coming into
the w orld. ' Genesis gives us the pic - I
lure of "Abel offering the lamb"' In !
John we have, "Behold the lamb ofj
God." In Genesis "Jacob's ladder ris-
es into view. In John. Jesus said.
'Henceforth ye shall see the angels j
of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of Man; in our text we see
i h serpent of brass on a pole in, ine
wilderness." Christ presents himself
in this eonnection lifted up upon the

Fiery serpents were ent into the I
camp of Israel. God's people had been j
disobedient . ihey rebelled against Je-,
hovah; they scoffed at the manna.'
Th Lord had given his people such'
great leaders as Moses and Aaron;
they had been gloriously delivered
from Egyptian bondage: the Red sea'
had parted, at their coming, while their'
foes wer swallowed up in the liquid:
waves; a pillar of elowd by day and
a flr by night, mercifully protected
and guided the people on toward the;
promised land; God sent the people
manna from Heaven God's bread
angel food: the best that men ever
ate, The people contemptuously cried.
"Our souls loathe this light bread,"
as though they would say, "This bread
is light and worthless: it puffs up
but does not imparl strength." These I
rebellious children of God became so
Fault-finding, faint-hearted and faith-!
Le i, 'hat ihey actually longed for the;
flesh pots and ihe garlic of Egypt:
men often refuse the simple word of
God and hunger for the flesh meat of;
superstition, the garlic ol tradition I
and formalism They lurn like a ser
pent from the living God and hiss at:
his immortal truth. Because of the
rebellion of his people, God sent the
fiery serpents among them and they
were poisoned bv the bite.
Throughout the whole camp of Israel ;
everybody was bitten Men. women
arui children in every tent, were suf
lering unspeakable agony from the
earful bite of ihe fiery serpents. We
have here a true likeness of the whole
world, blifen by the serpent of sin.
Sin i- the most horrible lact we have
to face In the world. Try to account
lor it as you will, sin is everywhere,
il history is to be believed, sin has
always been in the world, at least,
since the fall of man. The record of
the ages, is bloited with the red blood
ot murder and the foul stains of all
sorts of unspeakable Iniquity. Of all
the countless millions who have lived
upon the earth, not one has escaped
the poisonof sin. except the Holy Son
of God. Jesus Christ our savior.

No one was ever born a Christian
Charles H. Spurgeon tells the story of
a Mr Gurling, one of the keepers of 1
the reptiles In the zoological gardens
( wai in October, 1S52. Thi3 man'
was about to say soodbyc to a friend I
on bis way to Australia; they drank'
together until Gurling became quite
drunk He returned to the gardens
greatly excited. Sometime before he;
had seen an exhibition of snake charm
ing; he endeavored to immulatc the1
Egyptians. Gurling put his band into;
the cage and grasped a Morocco snake,
put it around his neck, and whirled It
round about, him. Luckily for him.
the serpent did not bite him. An as
sistant keeper shouted: ' For God sake
put that serpent back'" The poor
drunk man replied, I am inspired."
He put the serpent in its cage and
cried, 'Now for the cobra:" Because
of the cold of the previous nignt. this
deadly serpent was torpid. Gurlinp
put the snake jn his bosom until It
revived and glided downward till its
head appeared below the back of his
waist-coat. He took it by the bodv,:
about a foot from the head and then
seized it lower down, with the other
hand Intending to hold it bv the tail
and swing it around his head. For a
moment he held it before his face Like i
a flash of lightning the serpent struck;
him between the eyes, the blood
streamed down his face, and he called1
for help. His companion fled in ter
ror. When he returned he saw the
poor man sitting in a chair, having re
stored the cobra to its place. He said,
"I am a dead man." They carried him
to ihe hospital. First his speech went
and then his eye eight and in two
hours be was a corpse The bite of
this sergent could not be compared
with the horrible bite and poison of
sin. God says, "All have sinned and
r ome short of the dory 0f God." Again
the bible says, "that the heart is de
ceitful above all things and desperate
ly wicked."
I God had Moses put before the peo

a plain, simple, rugged cross. un that
cross Jesus, our Saviour, dies for man
To the proud, selfish, sinful heart, the
bloody sight of the cross Is most re
pulsive, but to the honest, sincere
humble, contrite soul, that is seeking
after God, with an intense desire to
know Him, there is in that cross and
in our Saviour's death thereon, beauty,
majesty and immortal glory- Every
true child of God cries with Paul the
apostle. "God forbid that I should
glory, save in the cross of Jesus Chrisl
our Lord." A certain bishop In a for
icn land said to one of our mission
aries, Avho was preaching salvation by
faith alone, in Christ Jesus. "Oh, Sir,
open that gap and we are undonr
All doctrines that contradict salvation
by laith in Christ alone should and
"hall be forever undone. Some years
ago a ship was wrecked, not far from
shore, a number of people gathered

and saw the wreck, among their num
ber was a minister of Jesus Chrisr
They saw on that sinking ship a largi
number ol people, the breakers were
dashing high; a voice came crying
across the waves to those upon the
shore, "Oh, what shall we do to be
saved1" From the shore the minister,
making a speaking trumpet of hi
hands, shouted' above the storm, "be
lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved " The wreck was
seen going to pieces and as the peo
ple thereon went down to a watery
grave they were heard singing:
"Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While ihe nearer waters roll
While the tempest still 8 high;
Hide me, oh: my Saviour, hide,
'Till the storm of life is past,
Sale, within the haven guide;
Oh! receive iuy soul at last."
They were called "fiery serpen'.- '
perhaps, because of their fiery color
and especially, because of the effect of
the venom, as it coursed through the
blood, burning like streams of fire. Sin,

lleved in Moses and the law. millions;
of earth are groping in darkness, seek-1
ing salvation through that false pro
phet Mohammed. Multitudes today
are following false prophets and false
teachers; the world i full of quacks
and pretenders who claim to have
made some marvelous discoveries in
the realm of truth: they talk of the
discovery of God." As though He
had just been discovered. They flip
pantly sneer at all the knowledge and
WiSdom of the mighty past and assure
us in their consumate egotism, that
they have been sent from God With
some vital message to man a mes
sage never dreamed of before. I tell
you that what this world needs Is t"
use its common sense and turn away
from all of these false teachers and
blind guides. Let the watch word of
our day bo. "Back to Christ." Jesus
Christ alone Is our only savior. "For
there is no other name given from
Heaven among men whereby we must
be saved. Christ said. "I am the door,
by me if any man enter in. he shall
go in and out and find pasture" And
then he said. "He ihat climbeth up
some other way, the same is a thief
and a robbei ' I el us nun $
away lroni the darkness of rationalism,
spiritualism and theosophy and look
to Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
False religions invariably make, salva
tion hard, they would have you walk
on naked knees tor miles; pierce your
feel with spikes, or inflict other hor
rible tortures upon your body.
The healing-of the Israelites was
gloriously real. There was no sham
about it. The very moment the peo
ple looked io ihe brazen serpent, the
fevei abated, the poison was stayed
lb its course; all anguish and pain
ceased. Poisoned by the serpent's bite
they were now saved from death by
looking upon a serpent of brass im
paled upon a pole. Salvation through
Jesus Christ Is gloriously real; it
moans salvation from .in, from the
poison of sin, the guilt ot sin, and the
power ot .uin. H you are saved through
the blood of Jesus Christ, you are
saved for two worlds The healing
to the Hebrews was also enduring. The
ficrv serpent of bras-, con Untied with
them near the tabernacle door, as
their constant, never failing remedy.
So stands the cross of Christ, rising
high amid the ages. It has .stood for
nliuns! two thousand years, flashing
Its healing rays backward and for
ward. All who lived before Chi 1st
and all who lived since, who have look
ed to him, by faith have been re
deemed. On and on the power of the
cross will sway (he world, until tinio
shall be no more.
I'Dear dyine Lamb. J Thy previous blood

ing storm, his only light the llgb'- fl

brazen serpent in that moment he was
saved And so salvation from sin
through Christ Is instantaneous. Sal-
vation is not by culture nor by rc foi -
mation. nor by words, nor by good
resolutions, nor by ceremonies, nor by jH
grips and pass words; nom.it a long
I drawn out process. Salvation is su-
I perhuman it is a miracle wrought by

'parents cannoi believe for their chi'- iH

his people: no one is saved by proxy.
If such a thing were possible, all the
world would bo saved, for are there iiH

'would de all they possess if they
could onlyrepent. believe in Christ

I The r. incdy thai God cave to Israel
for the bite of the fiery serpents, was
very simple It could not havo been
more so. The person bitten had only 1
to look to the brazen serpent and he
was healed. And so, In the plan of H
Balvatlon God has made the way so H
simple, "That a wayfaring man, even
though he sin, by looking to Jesus H
Christ upon the cross, looking trust-
fully, implicit!; relying upon him and

humbles human pride and breaks the
stubborn will of man. The human
heart, puffed up with self righteous-
