SUNDAY SERVICES.


We are weak, but Thou art able;
Hold us with Thy powerful hand
Holy Spirit,
Feed us till the Savior comes.
Prayer by Elder Seymour B. Young.
The choir sang the hymn beginning:
o, Lord of Hosts we now invoke
Thy spirit most divine,
To cleanse our hearts while we pertake
The broken bread and wine.
ELDER EDWARD STEVENSON spoke to
the congregation. leading out by saying
that it was with pleasure he came to ad-
dress the saints for short time, and
asking for their faith and prayers. 1t
was nearly year, he continued, since
he was in Salt Lake City, having been
absent fulfilling mission he had been
called to perform, He had crossed the
plains between the Missouri River and
Utah seventeen times, mostly as mis-
sionary, and he appreciated the duties
of such life more than gold and silver;
the labor in the interest of the gospel
was a pleasure TO him. In read
| ing the word OF God he found
| that Jesus was not received very kindly
by the people of His time-not with a
flourish of trumpets and great demon
Strations; He called upon the twelve
apostles, sending them out two by two.
| and they went forth in all lneeknesS,
to preach Christ and His righteousness;
His life was an exemplary one; yet He
/ was not welcomed. In this age He is
revered and honered by all as the Savior
of the world, but while upon the earth
He was looked upon as an outcaSt, re-
vlled and spoken evil of, and He was
compelled to say, 1.-The foxes have holes,
and the birds of the air have nests; but
the Son Of man hath not where to lay
his head;n for sympathy and support
he looked in vain and the Jews queried,
Can any good. come out of Nazareth ?"
He went forth, offering the bread of
life, and now that He is dead and has
earned all the glory possible, He is ac-
knowledged and worshipped as the Son
OF the living God. TWAS consolation,
| Elder Stevenson said, to know that God
has restored the Gospel in this day, and
4 he, for one, was willing to go forth and
I proclaim it, and to sacrifice everything
