s'Brothess and Sistsrn- partickler the
Sistern. fwant to say few words to you
about Mormonism mot for my sake, but
for yosfn, for "s'ess i sceerce and 'ossnsen
plenty"
.sMormonism is built on the high principle
which sex that il il not good for man to 20
alone, and mighty sight worse for awo
man. Therefore, if man feel good with
HsslsicemF any, a good deal Of it ought to
make him feel awful sight better.
s'The first principle Of Mormonism is that
woman airs good thing, and the second
principle is that you can't have too much
OFFS good thing. Woman IS tenderer than
man and 10 necessary to smooth down the
roughness of bis character, and a. man has
a good many rough points in his natur, he
oughtn't to give one woman too much to do
but set each one to work smoothin some
particler pint. ~

jine Us, for | amt. Pm not speaking for
my good but for yourn; for men Is seeerce
and weemen plenty. s a7hE sos
81 said woman was tenderer than man, but
you needen't feel stuck up about it, for she
ought to be; she was made so purpose.
But how was she made SO; where did she
get it from? Why she was created out Of
the side bone Of man, and the side bone
Of a man is like the side bone of turkey
tho tenderest part Of him. Therefore a
woman has three side bones and man only
one, of course she is three times as tender
~ man is, and is in duty bound to repay
that tenderness Of which she robbed him.
And how did she rob him of his side bone 2
Why exactly as she robs his pocket now-a-
days of his loose change-she took advan-
taEe Of him when he was asleep.
"But as woman is more tender than q
man, 90 is q man more forgiven than wo-
man, therefore ont say anything mere
about the side bone, or the small change,
but invite yoa all to our train, for am
a big shepherd out our way and fare
sumptuousiy every day on purple and Emo
Qinen.
When first landed on the shores of the
Great Salt Luke wasn't rich in weemen,
had but one poor old zoe, but men is sceerce
and ueemen is plenty, and like keerful
shepherd begin to increase my fock.-
Weemen herd Of US and our loving ways,
and they kept pourin' in. They come
from the North, and they come from the
South, they come from the East, and they
come from the West, they come from Europe
and they come from Asia, and a few of them
come from Africa, and from bein' the mis-
cradle owner Of one old zoe, became the
joyful shepherd of mighty flock, with
right smart sprinkln of lambs, friskier and
fatter than anybody else's, and l've still got
room for few more.
Gas said before, Pm not talking partic-
ler for my own benefit, but for yourn for men
Is sceerce and ueemen is plenty. Still, I'D a
leetle rather you'd 60 along with me than
not, particklerly you fat one with the yal-
Ter sun-bonnet. Don't hesitate, but take
the chance when you can get it, and I'll
Iced you through green pastures and high
grass; show you where you may caper in
the sunshine and lay down in pleasant
places; and rs you are in pretty good con-
dition already in the courae of time you
shall be the latest Of the flock. Jine in jine |
in; jine in my train; jine it now; for men 10

The ,peal was irresistible. At the last |
accounts ''the fat woman with the caliker
sun bonnet" had 'tjined in" and two or
three others were on the fence with deci- |
ded leaning towards the cheerful Shepherd"
