ME LIVES WE LIVE.
There IA one certain type Of woman
that wish TO take by the haud aud
have good cosy chit with. Are you
woman who thinks that your
husband knows more than any other
man, OF woman either, In this whole
wOrlu2 DO you respect his word IA the
word OF the Lord TO you, and wonder
why all creation cahnot seq the i'm.
mcnse superiority OF your husband
over every other living creature2 Well,
II you arc that type Of woman, you are
not tho one l wish 10 see lust now.
! may have something 10 say to you
later on; but Just now | wish to invite
the woman who knows her husband Ia
q pretty good man, QUE who does about
a. well ~ most men do, but who feels
In her secret soul that she would do
good deal different II she were head OF
the house; who feels cross when family
prayers are neglected, VINO worries all
the time about tue spiritual welfare OF
her husband, while che feels quite
secure IN her own; II you arc that sort
OF woman Just come here and let W.
have a good talk together. In the
first pluce want 10 ask you who IL the
first ono mentioned In your prayers?
I'll venture TO say II Ia yourself, then
your children, and n you remember 10
tny few words for your husband II IL
done hursiodly and halt mechanically.
Now, then, this IL oil wrong. when
men 10 into conferences and hold up
their hands, what IA the virtual vow
they are making? To sustain by their
faith and prayers, by their good words
and works, the man and meu who are
being voted into positions In the
Church. What would you think OF
President Cannon or Presidont Smith
II you could hear them pray and knew
that they wore praying for the Lord 10
give Thorn light anu revelation, TO pour
out upon them visiOns and dreams, 10
bestow temporal md spiritual blessings
without Number, and then at the close
OF the prayer Just add few hurried
words for President Woodruff that he
might be blessei with wisdom TO guido
the Church, etc. just take that pic.
turc and set II calmly anu slowly ia
your minds; can you imagine either
Brother Cannon or Brother Woodruff
doing such thing as that day by day?
All, ntl How their whole hearts nru
poured out Ia public ana In private, at
night when they lilo on their couches,
ia tho day when In counsel with
their brethren, how deeply nre their
whole hearts stirred 10 sustain the
noble man who standa at their head
and as head TO the whole Church. DO
you suppose this wives in this ChuTch
are thus loyal and devoted to their
head and file leader? You can all
answer that question for yourselves. |
want TO say to the wives In Israel, that
you don't half appreciate your hus-
bands. IL has become so fashionable
to say that women have tho trials OF
life, that, women suffer, that women
are the ones who need the sympathy
OF the public, that we have begun 10
think that II Is NO and this Ia all non
sense. The man who 10 vlrtu0us,
true, upright Lstier-day Saint, has
just us many triais us any woman In
the Church. And furthermore, as he
IL the head he needs more wisdom,
more faith, more strength to lead and
guide his family. IL your husband Il
little bit behind you, my
dear and over.zealOus sister, i
should DO inclined TO think that =
agood bit Of the blame rests ON yolr
shoulders. There Is one thing about
the matter; II you will do you full duty,
neither being n slave TO your husband
nor trying to be- his head, n you will
pray rs earnestly for, aye, even more
earnestly for him than you do for
yourself, you will have you full re-
ward. Your home will be happy,
your children obedient, your life full
Of comfort and In eternity you will
meet with nothing but Joy and glory.
II you fail--but you all know what
failure means In this Church. But
once more I wish ~ raise warning
voice TO the daughters OF Zion; appro.
cinto and respect the good aud noble
men who are your husbands, and
never let 1t DO said OF you that you
Jailed In your duty.
