ELDER JUNIus F.wELLs

spoke upon the changes which are tax
ing place in religious thought through
out chrlstendom. Indeed, many pro-
fessed religionists do not thoroughly
believe the doctrines of their religion.
The Latter-day Saints have endeavored
to remove the false idea that faith alone
will save man.
ELDER W. H. sEEGMILLER
also spoke. This is a peculiar people
who are treated with scora by their
enemies. The Saints should repent
and lead lives consistent with the Cos
pei. They are now passing through or
deals that will test them and the speaker
urged upon them the need of giving
to the young training that would tend
to make them cling to the faith. 1t
was deplorable to see that many OF the
Young are now mingling with the enc
mics of the gospel, and he hoped that
efforts would be made to prevent the
evil increasing in their midst.
Apostle II. ]. Grant presented the
name of B. II. Roberts to act as one of
first seven presidents of Seventies in.
the place vacated by the death of Elder
Horace s. Eldredge. He also presented
the name of James Sharp 10 fill the
place in the board of education vacated
by the same death.
Apostle Grant spoke eloquently upon
the necessity of, providing institutions
for the purpose of imparting to the
Young q training that would develop
them morally as well as intellectually.
Among other things the speaker urged
upon the Saints to ask God for light and
understanding; and by doing this, the
Lord would bless them with wisdom.
In closing his remarks, the speaker
bore strong testimony that the Saints
have the true gospel.
The choir sang an anthem and Elder
John Morgan pronounced the benedic-
ton.
At 730 pm. joint meeting of the
Young Mems and Young Ladies Mu--
tual Improvement Associations was
held in the Tabernacle. Notwthstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather and
the darkness of the night, it was
crafty ing TO see so large a number
present. The proceedings chiefly con-
sisted of lively aid interesting ad-
dresses delivered by the following
brethren and sisters: Elder Junius F.
Wells, Sister AImina 8. Taylor, oseph
H. Felt, Sister Maria Dougall, Lyman
r. Martineau, Sister Matte II. Tingey,
N. Alfred, Sister Minnie Snow, George
O. Lam bert, Sister r. E. Monch, 6. w.
Brimhall, Sister Mary 4 Freeze.
The speakers repr-' nted various
stakes, and, on IT,. whole, gave
encouraeing reports. A good work has
been going on in connection with the
associations and although there remains
much to be done, yet there are evident
signs of improvement. The object of
the associations is the moral, intellec-
tual and spiritual development of the
young men and young women OF Zion.
The addresses. which were earnestly
and impressiv ely delivered, met with,
the warm appreciation of the audience.
At the close. Elder J. e. Talmage pro-
nounced the benediction.

agreement which we entered into In the
waters of baptism. They have touched
upon the education and schooling of
the youth of Zion. 1t has been ad-
mitted by some of those who have
spoken unto US that scepticism, to
some extent, has made its appearance
among some of them that are being
reared in the midst of the Latter-day
Saints. Our efforts. to very great ex-
tent, for many years past, have been
directed so far as practicable to the
curlLg of the evils of this character.
We are informed in the passage that
has been read that the Lord would
bring about the time when dreams and
visions and manifestations of His Holy
spirit would be manifested, to a very
great extent, among the people. When
Joseph Smith, the boy prophet of
this dispensation, came forward and
announced, under the inspiration of the
holy Spirit that God did again commu-
nicate with mankind, the world was
thrown into commotion. Scarcely had
| the inspired words fallen from his lips.
and the world was left to witness one of
the grandest disp' avs OF be goodness
of God. One ray of light after another
dawned upon the universe; and in
rapid suct ession, they have continued
to flow unto the people from that time
to the present; and they WILL continue
to flow until our Father himself may
see fit to restrain them, if He should
choose 80 to do. Inspiration is mo-
tive power among the many forces in
the universe.
| The world may inform US that the
| voice of inspiration was hushed, that
| the windows of heaven were closed, and
| that We stood alone in this cold world
without the blessings and privileges
which were enjoyed oy those of former
dispeosatiol 8 Itwas the inspiration of
| God that actuRTed Newcombe and
Watts in the accomplishment of the
purposes which have assisted in revo-
lutionizing the world. The same is
true IN regard to the electric telegraph.
1t was Inspiration that led
a Morse to the accomplishment
of Gods purposes, and led him
| We as the people of God, should ipstil
| inspiration is the groundwork of all
true success in man. 1t is our duty to
instruct the sons and daughters of Zion
| to understand the principles that per-
| tian to life and salvation. We sho lid
teach them faith IN God. The gospel
teaches up that we are responsible for
our own sins and not for the sins of
others. 1t has been differently taught
by those who lived IN spiritual darkness
for they did not possess the light of the
gospel.
Towards the close of his discourse the
speaker testified that Christ lives and
His work on earth will continue accord
ing to the righteous designs of the AL
mighty. Grave responsibilities have
been placed upon the servants of God.
Jesus was the author of this work and
His servants have been called upon to
proclaim it to the world Apostle Smith
| exhorted the Saints to observe the
commandments of God He testified
that ZION would flourish and no power
is able to overcome her in her progress.
The choir sang an anthem. Confer
ence was adjourned Till April, 1889; and
the benediction, pronounced by Apostle
Lorenzo Snow, brought the services to
close

showing our faith by our works. there
would be sufficient to meet every ext
gency.
The speaker exhorted the Saints to
observe the law of tithing. The apostle
who spoke on this subject was appalled,
on learning by investigation that so few
were willing to make this land of Zion
by fulfilling this law. We should COM
ply with this law because we have
agreed to keep the commandments of
God. 1t could not be expected that a
man who held the priesthood was in
the fulleet sense Latter-day Saint
unless he was willing to comply with so
plain requirement. In concluding
his remarks Ell Ter Nicholson desired
that God would enable the Saints to
plant their feet upon the Rock of Ages
and, come what may, continue firm
thereon.
Owing to the large concourse
of people, il was evident that the Tab
ernacle could not conveniently accom-
| modate the afternoon attendance. 1t
was therefore announced that meet
! ing would also be held in the Assembly
Hall in the afternoon.

TAXING IN WICHITA.

Mr. A. T. Daniels, of Topeka, of the firm
of Strickler & Daniels, arrived yesterday
and Will be in the city few days taking
in its greatness. 1t is his first visit 10
Wichita although he has lived in Topeka
for number of years. He relates that
last sumner while on an eastern trip he
heard much more about Wichita than any
other point in the state and he was asham-
ed TO admit that he had never been here.
Then it was he firmly resolved to visit
Wichita before making another trip east
He never wanted TO be put in a position
similar TO the American gentleman visit
ing Europe who had not seen the great
things OF his own country. He was shown
some OF the strong features OF the city
yesterday by Mr.. Moffitt and thinks he
never before was so certain of so great a
city in Kansas.

OLD SETTLERS OK THE GROUND HOG.

The fact of the ground hog not being
able to see his shadow this year ON the day
of his annual exhibition, has brought
many old settlers out to testify either Tor
or against his hogship for truth and
veracity A considerable number of these
old settlers claim that the ground hog as
weather prognosticator is perfectly unre-
liable. In fact, that he is notorious and
consummate liar. John Martin says that
he has paid particular attention to this
matter for many years in Kansas, and Is
satisfied in his own mind that the ground
hog knows no more about the weather
tYan a goose does about astronomy. Hank
Hiserman says the ground hog is a mug
wump, and if you bet en- him you will
lose your money Mayor Allen is in
clined to think the ground hog
can be depended upon. He, however, did
not want to be reported as expressing
positive opinion on the subject, but he
thought when the gronnd hog predicted
an early spring and plenty OF crops IN this
valley he was pretty sure to hit the nail
square on the head, because that very
thing happened about eleven years out OF
twelve. The mayor would not hesitate to
an early spring and good crops for the Ar
kansas valley every year that his hogshlp
would establish in time great reputation
for truth and veracity.
Johnny Herrig says what are you going
to do with 1878 if you do not believe i'll the
ground hog. He remembered distinctly
that in that year we had just such
ground hog day as the one
we have had this year and
such crops he had never before seen
He thought if we had such crop this year,
taking into consideration that there is so
much more ground under cultivation now,
that we will be able to supply the whole
world He was willing to stand by the
ground hog and stake his own reputation
on the prediction that we will have an early
spring and remarkably good crop year in
this valley.
The history of 1878 inclined A. W. Oliver
to pin his faith to the sausage ground
hog). He remembered the crops that
year, and nothing like it had ever been
seen iii this or any other country, and, as
for himself, he would state that in his can
did opinion the ground hog did 1t.

r. S. Cstick, formerly of Springfield.
Ohio, has been looking over Wichita for
about week. Yesterday ne was talking
to a crowd of men in Neiderlander's office.
and admitted that Wichita is long way
ahead of what outsiders think of it. He
said there is one thing that had impressed,
him forcibly and that was the number of
people in the city who attend church. Last
Sunday be had taken occasion to go round
and look into some of our churches, and
the throngs of people attending worship
had simply astounded him. Why" he
said, ''you have some immense churches
here, but they are not large enough.
Some PEOPLE away from here, of course, do
not believe such stories as these. They
have an idea that because Wichita is
new town it must be composed largely of
a rough element Wichita has the repu-
tation of having an energetic people. hut
tell you they are energetic in church work
as well as in other directions
