labor in the warmer months of the year;
then, as the weather becomes colder, we
travel south. thus escaping the dangers
OF being aifl cted with the chills aud

to labor in the Indian Territory mission,
say. don't feel that you are going into

double the amount of rent charged is
offered. My companion, Elder Thomas
Z 1plat d, from Plain city, Weber county.
Utah, and myself, endeavored a lew
weeks ago, to get the use OF the Bap-
tistery in the Baptist church Of this place.
We had two applicants for baptism and
desire to do the work for them, bat the
venerable minister Informed us that the
committee would undoubtedly decline to
grant us the privilege Of using it, as they
were afraid the world would construe
such an action oil theirs into sanction
OF the principles we taught We next
tried the pubic baths, but found they
had become the property OF the Stroud
breweres. and were being used for a
ginger beer factory. DISAPPOINTED
agaln, we concluded to wait little
logger, when we would perform the or
dinance in one OF the neighboring
streams, as the weather then was not
favorable or outdoor paptizing.
But all these things are nolhng COM
pared to tue exasperatiDg indifference oil
the people The spirit IF indifference is
the most discouraging thing | have met
with yet. They have allowed them
selves to be dragged into religious
bondage that would be unbearable TO
anyone who had the courage to think
Tor themselves; but to them II is unap-
parent, and it Sc ms Il will take life
time to convince them OF this fact.
Here in Stroud the Elders take up
their lodgings in regular boarding
house. The Saints are none too wealthy,
and are not able H. furnish accomm oda-
ton Tor holding meetings; therefore we
are obliged to use our dining and sitting
room at the boarding house to meet in
on Sunday evenings. The room is
usually comfortably filled. and some
times crowded. Part of cur time is oc-
cupied in visiting the Saints, exhorting
them 10 be iai hui to The covenants they
have made. In discharging this duly
the Elders in their district have circuit
Of over seventy-five miles to travel each
month, which is all dJne on foot. The
Elders travel more and see more during
the two years they are here than the
m jority o, the residents do IN their
whole lives. An instance was brough,
to our notice not long since of an old
lady who had died at the age OF ninety
four ,eirs, who had never been outside
Of the village where she was born. As
contrast, have travelled 1000 miles
over England in six months. and that is
very common record compared with
| some OF the Elders here.
| More missionaries are needed. Even
in this country where the Gospel has
been preached so long. there are many
towns whsre a missionary's voice has
not been heard for many years. How
ever. our only concern should be, thai
we do our part, and He whose power is
behind this great work, will provide q
means by which every obstacle may bs
surmounted. EDWARD Z PIKE.

LETTER FROM ENGLAND.
Account OF N Missionary Work In Gieu

STROUD, Gloucestershire, England,
May 18th, 1897.
To the Editor;
As il is sometime now since | read
letter from any one in this part Of bonny
England in your valuable columns, and
feeling that letter respecting mission
ary work here would be read with in
terest by your many readers, take
pleasure In relating some experiences
we have had while in the Cheltenham
conference of the British mission. which
includes all of the southwest part Of
England.
Since | commenced my labors here
last November, the conference has had
change oil president Elder w. c.
, Burgon was released and Elder Raguel
Barber called to be his successor.
Judging from the number OF people,
both SAINTS and strangers, who attend
our meetings, should say the Stroud
| district looks quite as promising as any
| in the conference. AT every meeting
we have held some strangers have been
present; and although our meetings are
| oaly cottage meetings, there are several
| interested Investigators at them, who
show by their regular attendance that
they are truly sincere in their desire to
| find the truth. There is no doubt but
that fourishing branch will be the re-
suit of the labors OF the Elders in
Stroud, if they continue to exert every
effort in the future as they have in the
past TO bring this about.
II we can but get a glimpse OF a per-
sons daily life, we will know almost
without fail, how they will receive our
l ...t. ., IL 4
spise because OF their lowly station, are
those who receive US and our teachings
who are fortunate enough to possess
W tn the greater kindness.
Much OF our tracing is done in the
afternoon, so we are not fortunate
enough 10 get talk with the men of the
homes. When we consider that the
Gospel has been preached for over fifty
years in England, tn t II Is no new thing
to the people, in fact, that there are but
very few in this whole country who have
not heard OF the Mormons and their
doctrines, 1t is matter OF re-

OMAHA. Nebraska, May 26th, 1897.
To the Editor:
| left my home in Chesterfield Ban
mock County, Idaho, November 29th,
1896, and took train at Bancroft, Idaho,
Tor Salt Lake City and on the evening
of December ord, bid that beautiful
city adieu. in company with five other
Elders who had been also appointed to
labor in the Northern States mission.
We enjoyed the journey from Salt Lake
City to Denver, where we spent three
hours in visiting the city, aud again took
our journey eastward for Kansas City,
Missouri. We arrived there in safety on
the evening Of December 5th and were
met at the depot by Elders Badger and
Butt. On the following morning we all
took trip TO Independence, Jackson
County, Missouri, where we visited the
temple lot which was dedicated by the
Prophet Joseph Smith for the erection
OF Temple to the Most High God.
We afterwards made our way to Brother
Pfeatores, an old member Of the
| Church. where we he'd meeting, there
being fifteen Elders, some Saints and a
lew investigators present. The Spirit Of
| God was poured out upon us in aDund-
ance, and alter listening to discourse
on the Gospel delivered by Elder Kelsch,
we bid the Saints goodbye and made
our way back to Kansas city. We were
then assigned to our fields Of labor,
being appointed to labor with Elder J..
A. Fawson at Omaha, Nebraska, where
have been laboring every since. We
labored diligently during the winter,
made many friends, led two honest souls
INFO the waters OF baptism and also had
the privilege oil seeing two others bap,iz-
ed on the 4th Of April. Our conference
was held on the ord and 4th OF April at
which we par.ook OF spiritual feast
and the principles OF the Gospel were
laid before the people that gathered to
hear US. Our Prize sthood meeting was
held ON April 5th and we received some
president At this meeting | was ap.
pointed to continue my labors in this
city in company with Elder r. E,
! Yeates. We are still laboring among
the people here, taking to them the glad
tidngs OF great joy. Many oil them re.
ceive us with outstretched arms anc
listen with great interest to the message
we bear; but darkness has covered the
earth and gross darkness the minds o
the people for so many years that i
seems very hard for them to understand
the Gospel in its fulness. But when tn,
Lord sees fit, he will open their eyes ant
they will be partakers of the divine
Truth.
The Elders OF this conference are en-
joyng good health and the blessings o
the Lord are attending them in thei
fields of labor. Following are their ad

after which, by request, Elders Albert

the origin OF the American Indians and
the coming forth OF the Book Of Nor

listeners. this was undoubtedly the lead
ing feature OF interest, and certainly will
leave deep impression on the minds of
those present
