ARrHUR J. SrAYNER read an address.
Taking q retrospective view of the
difficulties under which the parents
of the Sunday school children
of to-day were laboring, 1t COM
mented on the constant struggle
they had maintained to preserve inyiol-
ate the laws of strict virtue before God.
Referring to. the position of to-day,
when men are being punished. who
have honorably cherished virtue-the
conflict seems to have determined itself
as vice against virtue, for it has been
plainly declared that the prosecutions
and prosecutions are not in the interests
OF virtue and morality. However, the
present untoward circumstances will
not deter the Latter-day Saints from
continuing in their determination TO
live pure and honorably before God.
The spirit and genius OF the work
will not only commend itself to
the good, both old and young, but
will enable its adherents to successfully
bear up under every adverse circum-
stance In the development of the pur-
poses OF God in these the last days, cal
antilles and casualties cannot be
avoided. The spirit of destruction IS
among evil men. The beautiful
world which God has placed US on is
fun of resources and opportunities for
its inhabitants to take advantage of and
bless themselves and their fellow
crea lures. Instances are on record of
noble minded men having spent their
lives in endeavoring to be benefactors of
their race. Such men have won for
themselves everlasting honor. Men who
have enabled Natures resources to
be utilized for food or raiment
are public benefactors. In this view
t behooYes US to sustain everything IN !
The way of home production. The |
GLOWING of agricultural pursuits can /
De relied upon, in giving sure reward
or labor, SO much so that the farmers
are'our most valued citizens, inasmuch
IS their products give US the necessaries
Of life.
