BRIGHAM YOUNG's FUNERAL AID
DREssEs.-At the funeral of Heber C.
Kimball, recently, Brigham Young
made the following address:
Brother Heber G. Kimball has been
my first counsellor for almost "a years.
l am happy to state it is matter of
great joy to me; this is the third coun-
sellor that has fallen asleep since | have
stood to counsel this people, and they
have died in the faith, full of hope /;
their lives were filled up with good
works, full of faith, comfort, peace and
joy to their brethren. In the II years
that Brother Joseph presided over the
Church, three of the prominent coun-
sci he had had apostatized. l have not
been under the necessity of mourning
and lamenting over the apostacy of any
one of my counsellors, and l hope 1
never shall. | had rather bury them
by the score than see one of them apos-
tatiZe.
