mrronrrp M ARTHUR wrSrER.l

President George o. Cannon's re-
marks this morning were full of comfort
and consolation. The ideas that he has
presented arc true. There never was
a day since the organization OF this
Church when the Latter.day Saints had
more cause to rejoice than they have to.
day. The Church was organized over
sixty.three years ago, and from that day
to the present the Lord has been with
us. His manifestations have been our
experiences, and lie has accomplished
In our favor all that any Lai,er.day
Saint ever did or could anticipate. His
glory has been upon US, as a people
and as individuals. As President Can
non has said, trials and tribulations
have been the experience Of the Latter
day Saints. God so designed that 1t
should be. daresay that in the spirit
world, when II was proposed to us to
come into this probation, and pass
through the experience that we are now
receiving, II was not altogether pleasant
and agreeable; the prospects were not
so delightful in all respects as might
have been desired. Yet there Is no
doubt that we saw and understood
clearly there lthat, in order to accom-
pllsh our exaltation and glory, this was
a necessary experience; and however
disagreeablc It might have appeared to
us, we were willing to conform to the
will Of God, and consequently we are
here.
From the time Of our receiving the
Gospel to the present. the Lord has
from time to time given US trials and
Affections, II we may so call them; and
sometimes these trials have been Of that
nature that we have found II very diff
cult to receive them without murmur
and complaint Yet at such times the
Lord blessed us and gave US sufficient
Of His Spirit to enable as to overcome
the temptations and endure the trials.
In going through these trials and
troubles we are doing no more than did
the captain of our salvation. We are
told by the Apostle Paul that lie was
made perfect through sulcungs. And
even lie, the Son Of God, at times
found Il very difficult. For example, in
the garden OF Gethsemane. when The
time approached that He was to pass
through the severest ahliction that any
mortal ever did pass through. lie un.
doubleday had seen persons nailed to

In, cross. because that method Of exc
cution was common at that time and lie
understood the torture that such per.
sons experienced for hours. lie went
bv Himself In the garden and prayed
to Ills Father. II It were possible. that
that Gun might pass from Him; and His
feelings were such that lie sweat great
drups of blood, and In His agony there
was an angel sent to give Him comfort
and strength. Even the Son OF God
required miraculous help under those
extraordinary circumstances. So we
have needed 1t at times. and so we may
i'm the future. Some Of rs have had
this divine help under peculiar cIrcum'
stances.
God has wonderfully blessed Zion Il
Is remarkable the change that has oc.
CURED IN our favor In the estimation Of
the inhabitants Of the earth, especially
the people OF our own nation. The
course that has been taken by the
House Of Representatives within the
last few days, compared with their ac-
ton few years ago, is amazing. II IS
God that has effected this change,
because lie IS disposed to favor Zion,
and because through our suffering In
the past We have secured His favor,
and lle Is determined to assist us and
accomplish His purpose IN regard to our
redemption.
The work that has been accomplished
in the nations Of the earth and the b.
lands Of the sea Is grand and glorious.
And this Is not all. Within the last few
months thousands OF persons in the
spirit world have been placed ia con.
diiion that they may receive the word
OF God and be saved, through the
| ordinances that have been administered
In these four temples in this Territory.
A wonderful work is being accomplish.
ed in our temples In favor Of the spirits
In prison. / believe, strongly too, that
when the Gospel rs preached 10 the
spirits In prison, the success attending
that preaching will be Tar greater than
that attending the preaching Of our
/ Elders IA this life. ! believe there will
be very few indeed OF those spirits who
will not gladly receive the Gospel when
Il Is carried to them. The circlm'
/ stances there will be a thousand times
more favorable. The brethren are
laboring In these temples with their
hearts and souls In the interest OF th,
| dead. The Savior said on certain
/ occasion, Verify, verify ! say unto
YOU, the hour IS coming, and now Is
when the dead shall hear the voice o
the Son Of Cod. and lie continued
and made this remarkable expression
and they that hear shall live" be
| licye there will be very few who will mol
receive the truth. They will hear IN,
voice OF the Son OF God; they win heal
the voice Of the Priesthood Of the Sor
Of God, and they will receive the trutl
and live. These brethren aud sister
that are labonng so industriously in IN,
/ temples will have the honor OF being
as II were, saviors to their kindred an,
friends In whose favor they administered
/ these ordinances.
II is glorious work, Il is CRANE
work, and the kingdom Of God move
on with force aud power, and will
Z grand and glorious success. OF course
our financial affairs pinch little; bu
