aud these revelations plainly fore
shadow this. Not that all win have

will dress In the same kind Of
clothing, OF eat the same kind Of food
That Is not the equality designed. but
tia. all shall have an equai Claim upon
the blessings aud bounty Of God; one
man using more than another because
he requires more; one man having
more than another under his control

In those early DAYS the Latter.day
Saints, reading those precious revcla-
lions, supposed that the day had
dsvned upon them when these things
would come 10 pass, Brt tbey were
not prepared for them. They were not
sufficiently trnlncd. Many Of them
broke their covenants and sol.
ti,hness got tho upper hand
Of them. They had not faith
sufficient, nor knowledge aud OK.
pcricnce sufficient, 10 carry out these
heavenly principles. And today It il
doubtful concerning the number in the
Church that would b, abic now 10
carry them out, though / do honestly
believe that there Il a great progress An
this direction, and that the day IA not
lar distant when, other things per.
hitting, we shall be able TO carry out
these doctrines AMI bring about u better

iug In our land. In our recent exani-
nation before the Master In Chancery.
believe that everyone not OF our
Church was astonishcd ut the reports
that were made, and the reports were
sustained by actual figures. DO not
think they had ever conceived OF the
amount Of help that we extend as
people 10 the poor IN our midst. There
IL not another people on the face Of the
earth that | know anything about who
are anything like as charitable, as
liberal, and as providcnt aa our people
are In supplying the wants Of the
needy. This speaks well for Us, and II
shows that we are approximatlng to
