o. cisely. at the Masonic temple. Salt Lake
City. Utah, United States of America.
In fulfillment Of the prediction the no.
bles met last evening at the hour and
place designated. Ii appeared that II
pilgrims. journeying from the surround
ing states, had just arrived at the gates
of the temple. after a long and arduous
Journey. seeking admission. They came
veil and worthily recommended and
being brave and determined men not
only successfully overcame the hard
ships and trials Of the journey. but ex-
pressed themselves as not only desir-
Gus, but eager TO encounter the I'M
heard of difficulties and dangers neces-
sary TO admission to the sacred tenn
pie.
The extreme hazardousness of the
further risk which they appeared so
anxious to take was fully explained to
them, but without in any degree abat-
ing their disire, and they all being wor-
thy men and having shown by their
words and deeds that they were pass
ing brave, after due consideration Il
was resolved to grant them their de-
sireS, and the noViceS were accordingly
permitted to demonstrate their fitness

temple. Pedestrians stopped as they
passed and congregated in little groups
discussing in wOnderment and speculat-
ing upon what was happening within
The results. however. were very graf
frying. for all of the II novices endured
the fortunes and emerged from the
trials unscathed and will have their
names written on enduring tablets. and
go laundering down the corridors of
time.
