The best breeds. The trouble in raising
the best qualities of grain, fruit ana
vegetables is no greater than in raising
inferior articles of the same kind. A
rOod colt, calf or lamb costs but lit
lie. if any, more to raise it than
q poor one does-and then how much
more valuable and Saleable first class
ram, fruits, vegetables and animals
are than those which are inferiorl The
Lord has given US a land in which
rains, fruits, vegetables and animals
Fan be raised to the utmost perfection /;
md we should appreciate and take full
advantage of our climate, soil and wa
Ter. With the exercise of good iudg-
ment, proper care and well applied
industry, we can have the best proddc-
ions of the vegetable and animal king
IONS at our disposal, and the poorest
nan N the land can have on his table
such bread, fruits and vegetables as
would be diff cult, if not impossible, TO
ind on the tables OF the wealthy and
noble of lands less favored than ours.
Our cities are generally well laid out.
our city lots are rOomy. But we
should provide for the increase of pop
1lstion Sanitary regulations should
be strictly enforced. Care should also
De taken to secure plenty of unoccupied
space for public grounds. They
are as lungs for large and
crowded cities; but il Is in
the early settlement and laying out
IF cities they can best be secured. Then
and. is cheap, settlers are not so nu-
n .rous, an the struggle for eligible
sites Is not felt That Is the time 70
secure and Law out squares for public
grounds; trees should Oe planted as
quickly as possible, aud be carefully
projected, and, as population increas-
eS, the grounds should be made attrac
i've. And in this connection permit Us
20 call attention to the burial places of
our dead For people whose rever-
ence and LABOR for their dead are as
great as ours, we are strangely neglect
ful OF their last resting places. One
reason for this is the scarcity of water,
and the difficulty of getting 1t to the
cemeteries. But this is no justification
for the neglect shown in many places
the grounds left unfenced and I'M
cared for, aud cattle frequently allo wed

in many localities are being
bored with great success, and in many
burial places water may yet be secured
oy this means for their adornment with
trees, shrubs and fiOYerS-a change
winch will be gladly welcomed by
all.
In the construction of our residen-
ceS, school rooms, meeting houses,
tabernacles and other public buildings,
there is room for the employment of
the most cultivated and unlimited
taste. With the increase of facilities
during the past few years, there is no
longer any need for such structures as
we formerly had to be content with.
The principles OF architecture should
receive attention in all our settlements,
and there is no good reason why con-
yenience, a regard for health and beau
" should not 90 hand in hand in the
erection of all our private and public
buildings. The construction Of our
temples at St. George, Logan, Manti
and Salt Lake City has furnished OPP
portunitieS for many OF our young
men to obtain a knowledge of skilled
branches of mechanism, the effects of
which are visible in their own homes
and the homes of their neighbors. And
while we should impress upon the ris-
ing generation, as qualities OF
lncalculable worth, that they
should be pure IN their
morals. ana have a high standard of
IL
that they should be Obedient to their
parents and their God, and cherish a
reverence for everything holy, be loyal
20 their country, and respect all con-
Stitutional laws; we should not neglect
20 instruct them in those branches of
industry which will make them self
supporting, valuable citizens. All in
dustrial pursuits should claim our at
tentiOn, and we should endeavor to
impaTt 10 our young people knowledge,
skill and good management IN farming,
StOck-raiSing, manufacturing, mechan-
ism, trade, commerce and the arts and
sciences. Give our young people an
and they VIII excel as
abroad and in every
branch of skilled industry at home,
aud be behind none in the practice of
the leading and useful professions.
This they have demonstrated in every
when they nave gone out of
the Territory 10 colleges and schools,
and to receive technical instruction in
the professions or branches of art.
As the world must yet know, the
faith that was taught by the Lord
Jesus TO the Apostles, and by them TO
the world, and that brings forth the
same fruits now as then, can only be-
eXtinguiShed in pure people by their
destruction. 1t Is lhlS IalIn Inat the
Lord has restored TO the earth, and
that we possess. So long as men and
women VINO receive it remain pure that
faith will live and thrive and bring
forth the fruits of righteousness. This
every Latter-day Saint has proved.
But faith should be cultivated. BY
cultivation it increases. The present
IS z time when the Latterday Saints
should devote themselves to their re-
ligion with all the ardor of their souls.
They should Sc live as to enjoy the
HOLY GhOStanditS gifts for themselves.
These are needed by every man and
woman to enable them TO endure the
trials which they have to meet.
At this point il may not be improper
TO again S0lemnly warn the officers and
members of the Church against all
conduct that tends TO immortality and
We are being continually,
though most falsely, accused of teach
ing and practiclng SexuaiYice under
the garb of religion. No charge could
be more utterly false; for no system of
philosophy, no code of ethics, no arti-
cles of religion since the world was
first peopled ever taught more strictly
and emphatically than does the Church
