Once the keeper, who did not know Sir

 md wife. Hyrum Johnson and wife
 and Joseph Johnson and wife will leave in four wagons for St. George, Utah,
 md will be gone from six to eight
 weeks. AlGnzo Windsor will ac-
 company the party and will enter an
 academy there. The missiG- of all these married couples will appear
 somewhat novel to those unfamiliar with the Mormon faith. The tenet in this instance is this: It is believed that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry received from the apostles Peter, James and John the same power that
 Christ gave Peter when he said to
 him: Thou art Peter. and on this rock I will build my church. and the
 gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and what ever thou shalt bind on earth shall be
 bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven The true Mormon believes in marrying for eternity, and although couple may be married by the jus
 tice of the peace or by president of a Mormon stake, yet neither of these can seal the contract for eternity There are four temples in which this beauti- sul ceremony is performed by one of the twelve apostles, and some time during life as soon as possible all married people of the Mormon belief make a pilgrimage to one of these temples for this purpose. The temples are located at Salt Lake, St. George. Logan and Manti, all in Utah. This is the explanation of the pilgrimage to start next Monday. One thing fur ther is also done when there are chil-
 dren born before the marriage con tract of their parents has been bound by one of the apostles, and that is the sealing of the children to their par ents by the same authority.
