10 We might continue TO enumerate
instances Of this character, In which
the Lord has blessed the earth
and the people who have inhaoiteu
thes. valleys-theso once barren Janus
have received the good things OF
the earth. They have not made IL by
speculation, nor by merchandising,
nor by banking; but they have got II
by filling the soil, and they nave
rsapeJ abundant rewards for their la-
bore. They are pos easing their h0mes
In pence, lust as the Lord said they
should, aud they are eating the good
things ui tne earth, which is gieluing
in its strength for their susten-
ance. And why Ia this? Because,
although there mny he many among
us who are not living as they should,
and who are not magnifying the law OF
God: while there may be many VINO
nre uerelict In their duty, VINO are
thougbtless and falthless,Hni VINO may
even be- unworthy OF the biessinRs OF
God, there are certainly enough, ASH
appears, among us VINO are hvlpe

Well, but, says one, aupposing THESE
same lands Dad been occupied ny un-
believers, would they not nave oeen
blessed 10 much as we nave been
blessed? Would not the same results
have followed that we see now why
should we claim tnat any different re-
suits have followed the lAbOrs ana the
faith OF the Latter-day sain's than
would have followed the unbslievetT
Now. rs 1 do not know whether
