very much edtfied and instructed by
what had been spoken during this Con-
ference. The Saints had received that
Mind OF Information aud counsel
which every Latier.day saint need

We should be tho most thankful people
1i any ON the faco Of tho globe, seeing
the promises which Goi had made
unto those who remained faithful In
llls cause. The clouds OF spiritual
darkness which hung over our heads
before We embraced the true Go4pclhni
disappeared through the0ulpOurlngs Of
the Holy Spirit, anu our reward would
te according 10 our ialth'ulnes', This
church ana Kingdom, from tue day II
was organized sixty.two year, ago, had
luUvru forward and continued 10 pro-
grtss in the tsce Of the most serious
obstacles and difficulties. He had no

Tho Iiattef'day Saints might have
been guilty or errors'ln the past, bu, n

We properly prepared Ourselves 10 enter
thefe, we should witness most extra
ordinary manifestations from God
such rs had not boon seen by any
other people for many thousands Of
years. IL would DO a lasting shame,
after the trials through which this
people had passed during the last nifty
ysare, II we were not In n III condition
10 receive those great Manifestations Of
the goodness and power OF God when
the time should come.

temlnded the LAtter-day Saints Of
their pledge made by resolution at the
last April Conference TO have the salt
Lake Temple finished year from
that date. The committee were
making good progress with the
building, and II would be
ready for dedication on Apfll 9Th,
1859. Between 200 and 800 men were
now employed upon II, aud the money
contributed by tho Saints was being
carefully expended. There were NO
better mechanics to he found, aud Ger.
islnly none more faithful In tue dis
charge OF their dutles, than those "a
whom the work has teen entrusted.
Having made careful ostimats
az the cost, he found that II would re-
gulre $780, 900 to complete the structure
Ih6 work now being done Yves Of 4
costly character, but when finished II
would be most beautiful for thu Saints
10 look upon. He trusted that the
hearts OF this people would be opened
anu that they would respond literally
10 the cause In hand.
