recommended that Wyoming should
have a separate bishop, in order that
the work might b more excessively
carried on. Bishop Elliott of Western
Texas gave an account of the work

be a long while before the Church can
reach the northern States Of Mexico.
There are great opportunities for Gods
Church. Bishop Wingield of Northern
California was convinced that Northern
California had been much misunder-
stood. When he arrived In the country
in 1874 he found 600 communicates and
confirmed 1000. The number of CON-
manicants is nov 700. The Bishop &C
counted for this by stating that Cali
fornia was moving procession. Al
though San Francisco was filed with
millionaires, they are not disposed to do
anything for the cause of God and the
Church. San Francisco has long list
of abnormally rich men; only one left a
memorial behind him, and that was
James Lick. The Bishop was not dis
posed from discOuragement to fly away
from his school work.
