Therefore, il j. commanded tina
His servants should depend upOl
His Spirit to give that which the,

the Elders Of Israel have laugh

given greater evidence Of their vii
lingness 10 trust in God than hav,
the Latter-day Saints. I an very
thankful for this, and am thluhfu
that God has raised up n people anu
told them His will concerning their
lives. lt j. comparatively easy lUI

receive a regular stipend for their
labor. II > no particular hardship
FOR a man - 90 90 n foreign laud
and preach when he knows that his
wants will lie supplied ny the society
which sends him. But when a man
goes among strangers and frt> his
trust in God for liis food and shelter
and rlinisat, It requires some faith.
He must have rsliauce upon God.
But 10y taking this CcHr-e, men get
