/ those who were seeking after eter
nal riches were easily distinguishe
from those who were not, and the

their efforts in that direction
Inc saints were much better
financially, than they were year
ago, and it was right that tho,
should De so. God INTENDED tina
the saints should have nlenty, bu
an excessive love Of money was
most dangerous thing; and it wa
notorious that in most cases tn,

Expresses and griDds the poor mar
under his heel. We do not like
this Kind of business There is 6
power IN earthly wea' tn and there
always will be, but the riches OF
eternity are better than the riches
or the word. Wealth does no,
necessarily corrup- a man, and the
speaker cOntepded that all the
riches Of the hills belonged to the
Lord, and he would best0w il upon
US at the roper time. 1t was a
mistake for the young men of our
church to be continually working
for money, they had other csll-
lngs which would be much
10 re beneficial to them. I'm
less riches were accumulated
under the sanction of the Almighty,
they would prove a curse instead of
a blessing. The itch men in this
territory who were squandering
their time in the pursuit of wealth,
to the neglect Of their spiritual du-
ties would discover their mistake,
and perhaps when it is too late.
Their hypocritical acts would be
slfted away, and avail them nothing.
But the poor man who had followed
the principles of the gospel would
be exalted and glorified. Which
would you rather be? [ would
rather give all / have-it Is not
much-and be clothed in a blanket
like an Indian, than be decked with
precious gems and feel that nv
prayers were not acceptable to the
Lord! rs -. - =.
The speaker, in closing, bore his
testimony that any men who sacri-
ice their time In amassing wealth
and depressing the poor man will
wake up behind the veil and dis
cover how sad q mistake they have
made. Perhaps they did not now
'eheve H., but time would prove
Who was right. There was a day of
leep trial for those who love the
hings Of the world better than thew
