A GRAND RECEPTION.
Birthday Party in the Temple An
mex, in Honor of President and
Mrs. Woodruff

Ihere is no man in Utah who stands
higher in the public estimation than
President MILFORD Woodruff. the pres
ent leader of the Mormon Church. Not
only among his own people but by
many who have no connection with his
church he is regarded as an upright
honorable and guileless man, sincere in
his convictions and genuine in his whole
character.
On Wednesday,, March 1st, he will be
81 years Of age. Mrs Emma Woodruff.
his wife, on the same day will be- sc
years old. 1t has been customary with
them to have a number of personal
friends at their house to celebrate their
birthday. This year it was desired that
a larger company than could assemble
in their dwelling house should have the
opportunity TO pay respects to this re-
spected souple. So it was decided to
Invite about two hundred personal
friends and relatives to the Annex of
the Salt Lake Temple in their honor.
But as this would be announcement be-
cause Of the Temple ceremonies on that
day, Monday, Feb. 18th, was selected
instead.
The gathering took place at p. m.
The leading authorities of the Church
and of this and other Stakes were
present and a host of ladies and gem
tlemen we'll known in the community.
A programme had been prepared which
was performed under the direction of
President George q. Cannon. Delight
full singing was rendered by the Temple
choir, under Prof c. j. Thomas.
Speeches full of affection and honor
for the venerable leader and his wife
were delivered; an original poem by
Mrs. Emily II. Woodmansee was read
by Mrs Emmeline H. Wells. Also one
by H. w. Naisbitt, read by David Nc
Kenzie, which we here reproduce:
THE VETERANS OF OUR CAUSE.
Arectionately to President Woodruff, or
his S7th birthday, March LIST, 1894.
The veterans Of our Zion now, are few
and far between;
One now and then with silver hair, and
faltering step is seen,
Then memory's tide comes rushing ins to
lave our weary feet,
For We too feel the load of years. and
think rest will be sweet.
Who from the consecrated land of Kirt-
land had to fee?
All, few of all those favored ones, who had
the heavens unveiled,
Have stood the test of life and faith,
when earth and hell assailed2
From mad Nissouri's blood-stained soil,
far from its precious sod;
We hail q veteran now and then true to
his faith and God.
His quivering lip the story tells, Of car
mage, fire and loss,
And yet the Centre Stake he claims, his
crown despite the cross.
From out Nauvoo--the beautiful what
veterans led the way,
Forsaking all when Joseph fell that dark
historic dayi
A weary pilgrimage they had, a grave
marked route, It's said,
For many weary soul went out, the
martyrs grave their bed
Since those wild stormy days of yore, our
God gave Israel peace,
Yet hundreds of those valent ones since
then have found released
Their bodies rest on fair hillsides, be-
heath the mountains grand

The fee bill introduced by Booth, of

think the lower body has done right
We would have pointed out the incon-
sisteneies anG injustice of the cuts that
it made. but believing they would be
seen by the shrewd men of the Legis-
lature we refrained from attacking
it. Economy is a good thing when
not carried To extremes. 1t is an evil
when it reaches the line of parsimony
Public service should not occasion ex-
travagant pay, but it ought to carry
fair remuneration and such as will Sc
cure efficient men to perform the du-
ties required. If competent men are
wanted sufficient pay for services should
be supplied That does not mean ex-
travagance nor does it signify stingi-

Refreshments were elegantly served
during an intermission, by a corps of
ladies and gentlemen under the direc-
ton of Bishop ]. r. Winder, after which
the programme was continued. Pleas
ant "reminiscences of the old times, and
remarkable incidents in the history of
Inc mormon people, were given by
aged ladies and gentlemen. Philo Dbl

reception, every one present, young and
Old, ottering personal congratulations
to the honored pair
Ii was a delightful occasion, not only
from the expressions of good feeling to
the aged president and his companion,
but because of the reunion of many
Old friends in the courts of the Temple
under so favorable circumstances. The
Herald joins i'll the congratulations of
the numerous friends of the lady and
gentleman, the only regret being that
so few who would like to have been
present and whose company was de-
sired could consistently be invited We
wish President and Mrs. Woodruff many
happy returns of the suspicious day
and hope they will live as long as their
souls desire.

 quit the rock-bound tomb, has risen from the dead. My brethren, do you believe ill the resurrection of the dead? In the resurrection of Christ? I know you do be- lieve it. Your faith, then, cannot be in vain. You cannot continue in your sins.
 For if you would greet with joy your
 risen Lord you must first repent you of
 your sin, enter upon new course of faithful living, you must watch by your dying Lord, and thereby you may be of the. first to be welcomed by Him into the presence of His risen life. Is this your aspiration? If so, life acquires new mean ing and living becomes a grave responsi- bility. Be it our effort here to be so like Christ in our earthly conduct that we may be made like unto Him in His eter- nal and glorious kingdom. This is the Easter duty, this is the Easter hope of every Christian. Acknowledging this duty, inspired with this hope, on this our Easter day we worship the Risen Son of God.

drances that lie in our pathway only when we have begun to see what we can do for ourselves. God helps men who, when there is real need for it,are willing to lead ''forlorn hope," to champion a desperate cause, to take sides against overwhelming odds. "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?' That has been the pathetic cry of the ages. Until Christ came it could not be rolled away for it was tex ceeGing great" A few of the prophets spoke hopefully of dwelling in the house of the Lord forever, but to most of the ancients passing from this life was pas sing into an unawaking sleep, an unend- ing forgetfulness, an unbroken silence. When Jesus broke the entrance of the tomb, He broke it for you and for me. In Him is our life; through Him alone we shall see life. Let us bind ourselves more faithfully to Him this glad Easter day" The monthly missionary concert was held in the evening, when Rev WE. Ireland gave an exceedingly interesting lecture, illustrated by stereopticon vie ws, on missionary work among the Zulus in South Africa. MT Ireland comes of mis- sionary percentage and expects soon to go to that country. A liberal collection was made toward fund to build home for girls in that country.

drops of blood in Gethsemane and cry on Calvary, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' but that he should regain the privilege and confidence he or iginally enjoyed ln his fathers bosom. Not only that his inert and insensate body should be laid in Joseph's tomb, but that it should be re-occupied and rein vested with all the sensibilities, func- tions and powers of life and should be manifested to competent and credible witnesses as the reanimated tenement of the living Lord, the first fruits of them that slept, the bond of brotherhood, the consummation of humanity and his equip ment for the mediatorial office and uni versal rulership. And it is necessary not only that Christ should die for us but that through an appropriating faith we should die with him, or undergo the spir- itual and corporeal penalty of sin and that we should be quickened by the Di- vine Spirit to life of righteousness be- fore God and of loving obedience to his commandments. And the spiritual res
  ness to Christ is a condition of co-resi- dence with him. We hould therefore apply our minds and hearts uo such a course of life as he by precept and ex- ample comments to our adoption.
 A good audience in the evening greet ed young MT Vishanoff who, in the cos tune of his countrymen, gave an account of his family and of the mental exercises that led him among the Protestants and of the serious consequences his defection from the Greek church brought upon himself and his relatives. At the close of the address the audience availed them selves of a nearer view of articles he ex- hibited. The desk was not profusely but tastefully dressed with flowers.

FOR UNEMPLOYED WOMEN
The Tug Between Military
and Naval Teams.

Extensive preparations are being made fol
the tug of-war which will take place tomorrow
night between teams from Company OF the
Naval Battalion and Company of the Second
Artillery. TIE tug will take place In the Sec
Ond Regiment armory, at Page and Cough
streets, and the proceeds Will be given to the
committee In charge of the fund for the relief
of the unemployed women.
The affair promises to be very exciting The
boys of the Naval Battalion think they will
have walkoyer, because every sailor is ex-
pected TO know the ropes and how to handle
them. The land contingent OF the militia are
not disposed 10 put any too much faith in this
experience OF The marine division, and rather
laugh at the pretenslon of the sailor boys.
Both seams have, however, been actively
in training and will toe the mark tit 10 pull for
their lives, or at least for weet charity's sake
Iher' Is considerable rivalry between the two
teams. In previous contest the bold sailor
lads lost 10 the soldier boys. Now they propose
to haul their rivals over the cleats ana bury the
hopes OF "E's" adherents deeper down than

waves Will sing requiem over the graves OF
