We have received Tie DESERT Neps 10 Dec l. but find
in Il little TO interest our readers The following appeal
shows prosperous state Of things in the Great Salt Lake
City
What are the Saints about in Great Salt Lake City
How is the city wall progressing November has worn
smiling face and the sky has been very propous for do
ing out door work But have yet to learn what many
of the wards of this city have done toward erecting this
wall We understand the voice Of the weather to invite
and to urge the citizens Of every ward to be aud doing
losing Nc time The Eighteenth Ward has not slumbered,
but the wall appropriated to be made by that ward shows
well at dis. ance The Fourteenth Ward has also put In
the blow 10 break the turf for the construction Of their
roron of the Perhaps other yards may have
done little ard carry out the counsel OF the Church
this subject When an ancient pr9pns, went TO Jero
rebuilding the wall, It then perloas time he was
obliged to make his survey in the stiffness OF the ngn
ard build with srowel in one hand and sword IN inc
ether But is not with the inhabatsns OF this city
Nor we are peace and there to modest or make
us afraid Many laborers hand ready to be hired
at cheap reasonable rate, and some saying non
hath hired us" Provisions abundant and surely
il a time to rise and build An old prophet once said
that at is better to obey than sacrifice But why is IL
better we ask We answer because that those who do
not obey the law of the Lord always have to make sac
rifce Often great sacrifice. King sauls dsobedience
cost him the.sscrifce Of his Kingdom The scriptures
tell u.s. that there is set time to favor Zon but that
time Is suffered to and Zion does not get the favor
within the specific period set, sacrifice must inevitably
follow Now is the time to build the wall Foreign foes
do not asssil here how negligence or dobo
dience might be followed with perilous clouds Of difficulty
the future may better reveal
Some people may think tina, they have great deal to
do they have taxes TO pay schools to suppora poor fund
enlarge and many ways to look for the sustenance oil
their families and the wall work don't hurry-no danger
yet
great work or renounce claim to greatness. Caleb and
Joshua distinguished from their associate Bishops by
advocating great enterprise, while others were fearful
and felt entirely unable. Even failure to accomplish
great end good work is often more praiseworby than
cowardly eglect to undertaken
