day evening, Glider L. Il. Davis, sty-

friend of the late ma,yr Joseph Smith, de-
livered the first OF course of lectures on
their particular views and opinions. The
audience was numerous and Of a .espec.
table class, many of whom we're provided
with the peculiar prayer books OF the sect.
The preacher took his text from Mathew,
20th chapter and 18th verse, from which
he argued that the promises OF Scripture
had not been fulfilled until these, the lat.
ter days: to this church, however, had
now been restored the gifts of tongues,
prophecy, healing, and Inspiration, and
was in possession of apostles, prophets,
evangelsls, and pastors, the same as in
the days of old. The preacher strongly
urged upon his audience the claims Of
