FOR THE LORDS SAKE.

We have been appointed Bishop OF Phoebe
Stake, and therefore the members of the
Church here will bear in mind to whom to
ante up their tithing to. The circular
bears date Of the 9th instant, and reads:
"DEAR BROTHER: AS the time draws
near when new accounts with the 1.-THE.
payers of your ward will have to be
opened for the year 1885, and as it is de-
sired that all current accounts be closed
up and reported here at as early date
as possible, we deem it advisable to make
one suggestion in regard to the matter, of
which we hope you will see the utility,
and the strict and prompt carrying out of
which we request that you urge upon all
the Saints residing in your ward. The
past year has been one OF almost unparal-
leled plenty throughout the land, and the
people of God have been prospered tenn
porally and upheld spiritually in man.
ner no less gratifying and cheering to the
Saints themselves than marvellous and
incomprehensible in the eyes of those not
OF us who have been observant of our
movements. With peace and quietness
within our borders, and with an abund-
ance of the necessities of life within the
reach of all, it would be strange indeed if
the Saints should forget their obligations
to the Giver Of all blessings, or should be-
come peglectful of His requirements. 1t
pleases us to note that there is no such
disposition manifested, but, on the con-
trary, ready willingness to observe the
laws of the Church with commendable
exactness. The suggestion we have to
make is in regard to the settling up of
tithing accounts, and it is to the effect
that all such accounts for the current
year be closed not later than Saturday,
the Sd day of January, 1885, in order
that you may be able, on the following
Monday, to begin getting out your re-
ports and settling up the years business
generally. In order to do this, all tith-
ings which the Saints expect to get credit
} for in the year 1884, will have to be paid
in during the present month. If this will
be observed it will greatly expedite the
preparation, forwarding and filing of all
the tithing reports in due season.
Hoping that this matter will meet with
your immediate attention, we remain,
Your Brethren in the Gospel,
VIM. B. PRESTON,
R. 7. BURTON,
JNo. @. CANNON.
Now, my dear brethren, you perceive
that the "Giver of blessings John Tay-
lor) stands in need of requirements, SC
bring hither and deposit one.tenth of your
crops, and we will attend to and see that
the Lord gets them, and you can feel as.
| sured that none but the Lord, Himself,
will receive the requirements deliv'
cred into our keeping.

lately by prospectors, which was said tc

ALL bills against the schools of Pioch'
District should be presented to thu
