The physical life VI woman, from the
cradle " the grave, IL taken up In
| proper order, AMI the clearrst aud most
Intelligent directions as B. tho laws Of
life and health arc given by the teacher
OF Those classes. One most Important
feature of this work on Sister 5orcn.
sons part Il the unusual fact that her
thirty years experience la her native
country taught her the solemn nud
/ little understood fCt That the iudiyld-
ual that stfays from natures pathway,
must by natures own simple nnd per.
feet law ilnd the slow aud painful way

| Hover In the Word Of Wisdom, and
/ her strongest and most eager lessons
are given on that all important subject.
| Purity, sohrlely and temperance are
her constant themes.
| ANhss 4 a. of III 4. 4 -
| the examination Of her second Provo
class, held last week, aud was more
than delighted with the facts there
| developed. About twenty sisters
answered the varied aud many que..
tons put to them by Sister SoTcns)n,
aud essays on various hyglunlc anu
physiological questions werr read By
| diiluvnl ones. The range OF subjects
coached indeed from the cradle o. the
/ grave; and each pupil seumed filled
with n profound enthusiasm 10 prove
herself worthy OF the Hight she had
received from the hands Of this noble
and single.hesrted woman.
There were many visitors; some from
Sprlngvllle, where the lady takes up
her next class, and some from Lehi,
where two classes, In connection with
her Provo classes, have been held
through the winter months. Also,
President David John OF this Stake,
DIR. Karl q. Maeser, DIR. NJ. H..
Hardy, and quite number "
prominent brethren aud sisters were
present, and at the close OF tile exer.
clses most Of the brethren spoke. All
were filled with eloquent words OF
praise for the noble work being done,
and none were more eager 10 further
the interests OF the future work than
was the physician himself. Indeed his
wife announced her intention OF Join.
ing the next Provo class.
After the class was dismissed, the
members OF the same, the visitors and
a few invited guests adjourned 10 the
home OF MIS-. Emily Clnn, where
delicious dinner, In quite the hyglenir
style, had been prepared, An enjoy
able time was there had by all present.
TOovldeuce the fact I mentioned u
moment ago, | noticed that out Of the
two large classes held la Provo this
winter and spring, not one member
thereof has the lenat Intention Of TAX
Ing up midwifery as q profession.
There arc many women hero who
really deplore this, for 30 impressed
have they become with Sister
Sorenson's teachings, that pa.
| Pill Of hers would receive much
patronage. However, perhaps In the
future some one viii feel the necessity
Of preparing herself for such a position.
One thing Is sure, every one who has
ever attended these CLASSES d,clar.
they would not exchange the knowl.
edge there gained for the gems Of In.
| dln.
One fact Is Impressed upon my mind
more and more every day; aud that IL
that we can never attain to the spir-
itual perfection We 10 earnestly desire
In this life until we recognize the i'm.
portance Of the physical regeneration
OF fallen man. And to the man or
woman who seeks to grave that truth
on tho minds OF our people | offer my
gratitude and my devoted homage.
May the blessings Of God rest upon
every one, aud especially on this poor
but noble and gifted sister who NO ear
nestly strives against dlscouragement
and unapprecintion 10 the spread OF
truth among this people.
