lid y WAS almost impossible to
go in this large congregation when
there was confusion or noise, in
ooneeouence of the sensitiveneas of
tbis building to sound. When
o-der vas preserved it was one of
tbe hest places in the world for
nersous to hear In, but for this very
reason, when there was confusion,
the voice of the speaker was
drowned. He requested the con-
gregation to preserve silence, and
the sixty-three ushers to maintain
order

said that the people were entitled
to the inspiration Of God, without
whose aid this work could not be
accomplished. 1t was a delightful

was necessary, after labOring with
the Father in creating The world,
for the Lord to be sanctified through
suffering. But the scriptures said
that it was necessary that He should
pass through trial anu suffering
that he might have compassion for
others II it was neces AIRY that the
Savior should pass through trial and
suffering, it was also necss aarV that
all Tho expee'ed to attain the same
glory should be willing to bear all for
the gospels sake. Men could not
attain to exaltation and glory e8

ton. Men who now lived had be-
held the face of the Savior. He
had appeared in the kirkland Tenn

servants Of God. 1t was our duty TO
prepare ourselves for the advent
of the Savior, for He would CONS
again and meet with the saints of
God in sacred places.

1t seems the privilege o: the SER
wants Of Go1, if faithful, to speak
the words of inspiration to the REQ
pie. There were some principles
dwelt upon years ago wbie eur
brethren now seem4i 70 De sci 1Un
prompted to speak upon. Were
these thiags forgO tea? NJ The
time wss approaching when this
people would be prepared to recAige
instruction on the subj CT of uni0p,
and to carry out those principles as
they had never done before. The
Spirit that was manifested by the
people to observe the fundamental
principles OF the gospel was deep
and widespread. Those who had
devisted from the commandments
Of God were repenting and turning
unto the Lord. This was no spirit OF
excitement and wilGfire but a quiet
determination to keep the com
mandments of God and observe His
cOunsels. Under these circumstan-
ces he thought the question as to
what the people were going to do
TO su tain themselves was one of
paramount Importance. The time
was coming when they must sustain
themselves or they must lose their
status financially. They were inn
porting everything and exporting
nothing, comparatively, ana the
time would come when the supply
Of cash would stop. There were
hundreds now out OF employment,
and it behooved the people to use
as little as possible of that which
was imported, and to encourage
every branch of home manufacture.
APOSTLE ERAsTUs SNOW
SAID that all persons who reflected
upon 1t must feel that the subject of
nome production was one of para
mount Importance. Ia the early
settlement of this Territory there
was plenty Of work in cultivating

II@l resources Of The country.
