The speaker had no Particular SUP
ject on his mind, upon which TO speak,
but was dependent on the promphnF-
Of thu Spirit. Our Father has promised
90 those who rely on Him VA seeking
90 speak ~ His people, that they shall
be given what 10 say.
The speaker had recently Nltlleu
some VI the settlements Ia Arizona
where he had the privilege oi ming
ling with the Saints, enjoying lhtlr
hospitality aud speaking TO Them inc
Saints Ia that section OF country are ~
rule IN the enjoyment OF the spirit OF
God. While they have many trials
and apparent ascriiiccs, tho Lord has
been good 10 them, and they enjoy
His presence in greater degree THAN
mnny IN more favored localities where
the people have the privilege Of fro
uuent visits D. the urcsiding brethren
They ARE reasonably prosperous tenn
porally rad DESTROYS OF living accord
ing to the requirements Of the Gospel.
A. wcuinslo with the people, We see
great variety ot circumstances, both
IN worldly and a religious sense, and
We discover that where the Saints are
possessed OF little worldly wealth, they
seem 10 enjoy the conpaniouship Of
the Spirit more ihan where they nre In
n position 10 secure 10 themselves good
circumstances. As "A rule, In
poverty, the Saints ur8 more
conscientious IN the Observance OF the
requirements OF our faith, In ASSUMING
from those things which are foTbidden
by our Heavenly Father ana Ia seeking
that companIonship which can make
Saints happy. why this should be 30
is hard 90 understand, hut we eau easily
discover, Ra NO mingle with the Saints,
that there Is n tendency among some Ui
those who are well 10 do aud can enjoy
not only the necesssrios Tut tho luxur-
ies Of He, 10 gov lax IN the
Observance Of the principles OF the
religion which We have crpOus,d.
Many things which were regarded
with adherence In the past are To-Day
