The Parable of the 'YOung Man,

And it came to pass, in the days of 1879,
that certain YOUNG MAN, of the tribe OF or
gan agents, whose abiding place was in ELS
worth said unto his handmade, "There is
famine in the land OF my fathers, and we
shall perish with hunger and thirst. What
shall we do?" And she said unto him, Be
hold, there leth toward tie north land
flowing with milk and honey; let us go
thence and enrich ourselves" And straight
way he rose up, and gathered up his organs
and all that he possessed, and departed
thence. And he joumeyed forth unto the
city which is called Hammond, and there
pitched his tent. And the country which
surrounded this city was exceeding rich, and
the Young man said unto himself, There
are many organ sales to be made. And he
straightway took his handmade and his IN
struments of music, and went forth. And he
made his face to shine like the sun, ana his
tongue like unto oil and he said unto the peo-
pie. "These are the instruments which were
foretold 10y the prophets, and shall bring JOY
and gladness unto your hearts, come ye nth
or and buy. y But certain man, the Apos
tie Paul, SOM, was iourneyin8 likewise through
the land, and when he heard these things he
said unto the people, ' Be We not deceived,
this Young man wor ket h iniquity
and deception amongst YOU And
when the people heard these words, they
turned away fromth young man, and would
not buy from him. Nevertheless, he stroye
the harder, saying "The Apostle Pauitsonl
teacbeth false doctrine !" But the people
r ri'1 al him saving, " WE KNOW the Apostle
that he is a inst man, and deceiveth 10 one.
and they besought the young man that he
wonld depart out OF their coasts, bat he
would not And it came to pass that as lie
iourneyed, he came to the house OF certain
man whose name was Collins Now this
man had gOodly possessions; sheep ana goats
and cattle And when the young man came
into the house, lie found therein OILY the
wife OF the man. He said unto her "Where
is thy husband % And she answered and
said, :" He Is gone ON a journey" And when
the Young man saw that she had compassion
upon him, he strove with much Inc language
saving. /" i give thee GREAT BARGAIN. Be-
hold II thou wilt give me one Of thy cattle,
will leave thee mine organ. And being ex-
ceeding sorry Tor liiIA she would have given
him one Of the cattle. But when the young
man would have taken 1t away, the husband
of the woman returned, and when he saw
what she had done, he was exceeding wroth;
and said unto her, =" WemaB, wOuldst thou
sacrifice my cattle unto false gods And
he ran after the young man saying, :" Behold
the high priests denounce thee, and say thou
hast wrought deception among the people
Thou contest unto mine house, ana prevail
est upon my wife, but will have rone OF thee
Get thee out my sight, and afflict the people
no more with thy presence And he
straightway took the beast and returned to
his house Then when the young man heard
these words, he was in distress, and rent his
clothes and tore his hair, aud cried out with
a loud voice saying, THIS Is THE LAND iiox-
ing with milk and honey, wherein thought
TO enrich myself, and behold: | cannot sell
my goods, and am ahuIgered and athirst.
The people have altogether gone over to the
Apostle Paullsoni, insomuch that they WOULD
NOT that should enter into their houses, and
behold he selleth many organs around me,
while strive in vain. O, wrefehed ma that
am, Who shall deliver me from the power
OF this Apostle !" Xxx
