A SACRED DUTY.

WE TAKE pleasure In directing the
attention Of the Latter.day Saints In
general ~ u correspondence, In this
issue, from the pom Of Elder W. a.
Buckley, now laboring ~ n missionary
In Great Britain. His statements are
true and ought to be- be- felt ~ n rebukc
by all who have neglected the duty
which ho NO clearly defines. The fall.
uro Of hundreds, and we might say
thousands, who have gathered TO
the bosom OF tho Church from the
nations to communicate with the
friends and relatives they have left
behind In the world has been many
times mentioned by the NEWS, but tho
slackness still exists.
II isan open question rs to whether
the Saints who have been no greatly
blessed through the agency OF the
gathering phase Of this dispcnsa,ion,
have not been growing somewhat
colder than formerly regarding tho
condition Of the poor aud oppressed
among the nations.
In the early sixties, for Instance, the
Saints presented spectacle 10 the
world worthy Of the admiration OF all
good people. There was but little
wealth In this region except what was
wrung from the soil by earnest aud
arduous toll. There was then no railroad
communication between this point and
the Missouri River. There were many
people from the old countries who were
able TO reach the frontier, but were un.
able by their own resources 10 cross the
great plains aud reach their In.
tended destination. The people
throughout the Territory were
invited to supply teams, wagons,
tvansiers and supplies TO mako the
round'trip ofoyer 1000 miles across tho
almost trackless desert TO bring along
the companies Of lmmig grants as they
arrived at the QUILTING point. In
those times 800 teams aud concomitant
facilities were cheerfully supplied. The
advent OF these dust bogrlmed COM

Interesting as one could wish to see.
