At eleven o'clock Elder johnson spoke
upon the office and work of the Spirit,
in connection with the study of the bible.
The Spirit will lead us and impress us
the truth that we read upon our minds,
according to our condition and needs.
The case of Philip and the Eunuch is in
point. The Spirit lead the mind of the
Eunuch to 8 scripture that would teach
him of Christ, and the same spirit led
Philip to him at the very time when he
needed some one to expound it. And
what Is impressed upon our mind in this
manner we shall never forget, for the
is also to bring to our remembrance the
things that we should know. But
the Spirit cannot bring to our
memory that which we knew moth.
ing about; therefore it is necessary tc
study the Word. Furthermore, the
Word is the voice of the true Shepherd
and in order to know the voice of the
Shepherd we must be acquainted with
the Word.

the other exercises.
About midday the camp was favored
with a fine shower. After the raif
ceased the wind rose to a gale, which
converted the mirror-like lake into rag
ing waters. The ".bounding, foam
capped billows' we're quite an exhibition
to the native Dakotan, and we observed
numbers of them, and older persons toe
standing ION the beach viewing then
with apparent ;dmiration.
At z AS Elder Breed gave a discours,
from Rev. 1871. Said the speaker
There never was such a time as this
People are seeking God and God j
