Clothing! Clothing! Gents Furnishing Goods!

BesS US all in this territory with the spirit
o. renevolence, brotherly love and charity, and
zip us TO comprehend and remember that We
are children of one parentage and are brothers
IN qeed, and help us to be willing to accede
70 the demands of the great brotherhood OF
man. And now our Father we ask Thee for
another blessing. We see ominously porten-
tOuS, and we hear the mutteringS OF an ap-
preaching storm: a contest between two classes
Oh the people, one being those to whom thou
mast entrusted the possession of great wealth,
ara the other tn whom thou hast entrusted the
s,oWer OF skllful and physical labor. 1nterpose
thy divine providence between these two
mighty opposing forces: mitigate and assuage
the greed, fear and hate which are being en-
of benevolence and penefaction and the olher
with an honorable appreciation and grateful
ness inspire the statesmen and legislation
lhat the terrible consequence of such an inter
neelne contest may be averted.
Let the angels of peace have charge of thi
falr, inspire with prudence and carefulness the
omcers and servants here engaged: let no &C
cl9ent nor injury happen during its continuance.
All OF these things we ask for in the name OF
Jesds Christ. Amen.
He was followed by Governor Thomas in
a brief address of welcome, which was
listened to in the utmost silence, which
was broken at times by the crack of a
manner or the buzz of a saw. He con
graduated the people present and the ter
rltory in general upon the showing made
at the eighteenth annual exhibition of the
Deseret Agricultural and Manufacturing
society, and said such exhibitions, aside
from the social effects, had a tendency to
educate the people, to bring them closer to-
! gether, to make them better acquainted
with what one another were doing, to in
still into them new ideas. The display OF
fruit, Tor instance, was far superior than
heretofore, and even far-away Grand
county, new and comparatively unsettled
as 1t Is, was enterprising enough to send in
samples of what could be grown there
Around the gallery and on the floor were
many instances of the skill and industry OF
the people of Utah, and which were fal
superior to many similar things annually
shown elsewhere. These were evidence:
that the people of Utah were industrious
and energetic. Much that was worthy ant
commendable had been accomplished in The
forty three years, and much was yet to bt
accomplished. A great commonwealth haC
been established here, the people of which
are the equal in intelligence Of
any others in the country. A few
years ago this county bore the
title of the unknown west, now it i:
called the Great West and Titan has donehel
share in making the Great West what she
is to-day. We have much to hope for Tha
we are gradually growing is evident BY
these displays here to day. Agriculture is
the basis of all wealth The legislature OF
late has fostered this society greatly, and i
will doubtless continue 10 10 50 in tht
future. Utah will finally become what sht
ought to b., the queen OF the western
states.
President Lawrence thanked the audience
for the attention given. and then declared
