Bishop James Andrus presiding.
Councillor Edward H. Snow read
an obituary as published in tie Des-
eret News on the death of Apostle
Abraham H. Cannon.
Elder James G.. Bleak read from
the vision in the Doctrine and Gov
enants as given to the prophet To-
seph Smith. Said although apostle
Abraham H. Cannon was the Young
est of all the apostles, yet he was
the first to be called to pass beyond
the vale. He was an exemplary
man, only SO years of age, but his
lite has been spent to benefit his fell
low man on earth and he has gone
to continue the cause of Christ al
though in another sphere. His OBJ
Ject in life was to forward the cause
Of Christ on the earth. He was
sent on foreign mission when only
20 years of age, which he filled with
credit to himself and the cause which
he represented
He read more in the vision show
ing the reward of those who have
been faithful and true to the cause
OF Christ to the end of their days,
and showed that these are they who
will receive an inheritance in the
celestial kingdom.
Elder Joseph Orion desired to be
inspired to utter that which will be
beneficial to his hearers. Spoke in
praise of apostle Abraham H. Can
non and of his many virtues and up
right life, and encouraged all to
spend their lives in defending the
principles of the gospel.
Councillor T. P. Gotham spoke
leelngly of the life and character of
apostle Cannon, and eXhorted all to
follow his good example.

The LoneIiest British Possession,

o'O''Oot OlItiSiI T USoGSSi0n,
The island of Tristan ola Cunha.
IN the Atlantic, is inhabited by =
colony of women.
1t is true there are men there
but compared with the number of
women, they hardly count.
The nearest point to Tristan da
Cunha is st. Helena, 1900 miles
away. A nd St. Helena is
response lie for t. e ia t
that Tristan is populated. while
Napoleon was a prisoner on St.
Helena, the British Government
maintained a garrison on Tristan.
When Napoleon died, the reason
for garrisoning this island ceased,
and the soldiers withdrawal ex-
cept Corporal william Glass, his
family, and two privates. The
privates married GLASS; daugh-
tiers. That was eighty years ago,
and the pr e population is
descended from these people, for
the most p a r t. An occasional
castaway has swelled the popula-
ton, and there is tradition that a
prison brig stopped there a matter
of half century ago, and left
several women convicts.
In 1887 there were thirty-two
men on the island; and the women
only outnumbered t. e m by a
dozen or so. But one night half
the male population secretly sailed
away in the only boat, and were
never heard Of again.
The LIST news from the island
was brought by tn Australian
ship hartford, which reports that
the islanders ar comparatively
contented, and that the male in
habitants number less than one
dozen, though tn e population
numbers altogether about 100
souls.
