Snperlntendent OF Public Instruction.
Mr.. Fisher Ian original thinker, clear.

aud posses that rare power OF earllest-
meas aud magnetism which holds an
audience spell.bOund aud completely
wrapt up la eager waiting for the adj
vent of each new aud brilliant thought.
lie took for his text the words OF
Chrlst 10 his Apostles, recorded Ia the
gospel according to Luke, 10Th chapter
and 10th verse: notwithstanding.
IN this rejoice, not that the spirits are
subject unto yOu. but rather rejoice
because your names are written IN
heaven" The efforts Of the speaker
were directed mainly To the object OF
convincing his hcarersa "a To the reality
of Heaven. rs 4 future home and abld-
ing place-an acuality-a place not
existing In the Imagination only, but
really located and established by God
as tho everlasting future dwelling
place Of the righteous when taken from
this earth. lie did not pretend to
know and could not describe its local
ity, any more than could n child de-
scribe any particular spot on this earth
who had never seen n globe or map,
but that there was n great metropoli-
tan city Of the Almighty, the words OF
Christ gave positive proof. The speak

a positive reality, but could not locate

that Heaven was not yet, but would
be, aud said that In time To come the
earth would be purged aud purified by
fire, and become the Christians lleav-
on, with salt Lake City for the head
quarters. Mr.. Fisher gave some grand
descriptions Of tho immensely OF crea.

HrIrham's, that this little earth could
po,sibly be the eternal home OF imlnor-
t,I saints. lie stated that he had been

lie said that our sun was calculated TO

the people Of Gold llill by repeating
this beautiful sermon.
