stock had the Saints generally respond

can mover become very proeroroul
people until they learn 10 be more self
sustaining than they are at the pres

interests OF the whole people.
Thespeaker made an earnestRppeal q
the people 10 live temperate lives, keer
the Word Of Wisdom, attend 10 thoii
| prayere, and all other duties as Saints.
In referring TO the late prosecutions OF
the Saints Elder Taylor was convinced
that the hand u the Lord was IN u.
Among IA other beneficial results was
the location Of other settlements by the
Saints In Mexico, where there arc rev.

lilo discouraged the intermarTiage OF
the Saints with those not OF thell
faith and said II would bring sorrow
aud distress upon those who,were guilty
~ these practices. The daughters OF
Zion should not DO given In marriage
TO the Geutiles. "Be We not unequnlly
yoked together with unbelieves," Wa
the injunction cf Paul TO tho CORN.
thians, aud the same counsel hOlde
good today. In conclusion the speaker
testified that those who would seek
the Lord for aid and support would
receive strength sufficient Tor their day
and come through safely, though the
Saints might continue TO pass through
tribulatiens and trials until Christ
SHOULD COME.

ingness In times past TO pay their tithes
anu offerings and In other respects
comply with the commandments Of
the Lord; still there waa much room
for Improvement. The Saints, both
young and old, should live strictly pure
and ohaste live, anu avoid tho con-
Eliminating influences which those who
are not OF them are trying to introduce
Into their midst. IL 10 Indeed a source
OF the greatest grief when fathers and
mothers are compelled to witness their
aous and daughters depart from the
rules Of chastity and proprie,y. The
Lord will have u pure and holy people,
and II dovolves upon the Saints to re-.
deem the world from It's present state
of immortality, and preserve those true
and llie.giving principles which tho
Lord has given for the salvation OF
mankind.
APOSTLE MOSES THATCHER
advised the Saints to bo careful In re-.
gard TO making covenants with tho
Lord or with one another, FOR God was
always displeased with covenant
breakers. In reference 10 home indus.
tries, which the speaker had always
sustained and fostered with his means,
they ahould be entered into with pru-
dence and forethought, and with n
determination TO make them success.
Men sometimes acted from the impulse
OF the moment, and were guilty OF
making hasty h.ovoe which after.
wards might DO regretted, but
with wisdom aud careful mRnlpu.

tainly prosper. a spirit OF forgive
ness and charity ehOuld be cultivated,
ma the faults OF brethren rcproved
In kindness Hnd under tho in
nuence Of the Spirit Of God. The
Saints should learn TO love one another
with that divine love and affection
which the Spirit OF God engsnders Ia
the hearts OF those who have ropented
OF their sins and entered into His
service.
APOSTLE FRANKLIN d. RICHARDS,
In making some closing remarks re-
gerding the completion Of the Temple
In Salt Lake City, shid that In human
experience In building houses men
nearly always hnd the cost greater a.
they proceed than the fret estimates.
So hlso in regard TO the Temple, and
consequently more meanu ia wanted
than was estimated six months ago. The
speaker enJoined upon the Bishops aud
leading men Of the Church 90 watch
over their fiocks and look into their
condition, that they might educate
and purify themselves 30 as 10 be
worthy to enter into that holy building
after its completion aud contemplated
dedication In April next.
Forty years ago the speaker, while
lahoring aa missionary Ia Europe,
was engaged In gathering means for
the erection OF the Salt Lake Temple,
aud now that Il is nearing completion
the hearts Of the Saints should not be
narrow or contracted In responding 10
the last ell in IN behalf. They should
bring forward the substance with
which the Lord has blessed them 10
that tho authorities Of the Church Rnd
those who have been appointed TO take
immediate charge Of the iinishing WORK
may have ample means wherewith to
give the building that beautiful aud
tasteful finish which " contem-
plated for Il. While thus aiding
the work in material way, the
Saints should also prepare themselves
to receive the blessings which the
Lord has In store for the faithful and
Is anxious 10 bCatOw upon them amt
upon their friends and relatives who
have gone behind the veil.
Tho tima for closing the meeting
having arrived, singing was omitted,
aud the benedlctlOn was offered by
Apostle Franklin ID. Richards.
