their votes in an intelligent manner; and l

lie is anxiously awaiting your decision upon
the Italian imbroglio before gathering its
indignation preparatory to vicious raid
upon the itineraut gentleman with the hand

long bottled-up introduction What-Not
watched closely for the smile of infinite
sweetness that would light the mans face
to q brilliancy only eXcelled by q wheat

went down into the bottomlass depths OF
his pocket, pulled out lead pencil and q
pad OF paper, and wrote: Il have enjoyed

dull at present. His firm recently con-
structed bridge for the Fort Worth and
Rio Grandc BrownwOod extension, but he
states that this kind Of work is very slow
in the state this year. When asked if he
thought the railroad commission bill had
any influence over railroad construction, he
said: No; l dc not think the commission
agitation has been detrimental to road con-
struction. Money is scarce and times are
stringent, and this is what is holding the
roads back. do not think that the rail-
roads are afraid OF an honest commission,
and am satisfied that Mr.. Hogg will APP
point men who understand the business aud
who viii assist, rather than retard railroad

gospel that had been restored to the earth
in this dispensaton through the Prophet
Joseph Smith.
After charging upon the subject Of faith
IN God, the speaker went on to say that
during his exile he enjoyed perfect liberty
because the gospel of Jesus Christ was the
gospel of liberty, and whoever received it
was free indeed, though he be in chains, in
bondage or in prison. 1t made no differ
ence as TO that. He was free because God
made him SO, and there was no freedom
greater than this
In conclusion the speaker exhorted the
Saints to be faithful, humble and dilieent
IN the performance of all their duties,
never wavering nor faltering in the least,
but remaining steadfast in the principles Of
the gospel Then God would bless and
prosper them and their children after them
from generation to generation.
President George Q, Cannon
said it was glorious thought that in the
midst Of affiiction, sorrow and trial that
they had friend so powerful as the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom they
served.
| He knew and could bear testimony that
! God was pleased with the Latter-d day
Saints and had accepted of their offerings.
| He had recognized their fidelity to his
cause, their determination to do that which
was required of them. There were many
things yet TO be accomplished and they
would be done in the good time of the
Lord. Though the Latter-day Saints num-
bered thousands, yet they were but few
compared with the great family of man
They could not, however, pride themselves
with the reflection that this blessing was
for them alone; God was Just as willing tt
remove doubt and uncertainty from every
other heart as He had been to remove il
from theirs. He was not partial God
but when they saw how tie inhabitants o.
the earth wandered and il dulged In al
manner of speculation concerning God auC
eternity and then reflected upon what Coo
had revealed to the Latter day Saints. i
should fill them with inexpressible Joy ant
thanksgiving for the mercy that He haC
shown unto them, and for the light and in
telligence which He had poured out upol
them as members of His church.
The choir sang:

Benediction was pronounced by Patri
arch John Smith.
