Here We have four Temples, thank
the Lord our God! Into those Temples
we enter and redeem our dead. We
have blessings which have never been

keys of their salvation. God has put
that power into your hands. But II we
do not do what is required of us in

have fulfilled them. so far we are justi-

we have got. Do not let us turn our
backs upon the commandments of
God. and do those things that will
place us in difficulties In days to come.
The eyes of the heavens are over us;
the eyes of God himself. the eyes of

Clergymen are Long Lived.



Figures collected by life insurance
land show that as rule clergymen are
long-lived. Physicians and scientists
agree that among the elements which
contribute to long life are sobriety,
regular hours. outdoor exercises, some
mental occupation and. above all.
serenity. Clergymen, perhaps, come
nearer to complying to these conditions
than do people In other walks OF life.

Zola's Triumph.

Emile lola has triumphed. He has
proved his case. Standing in the place
of an indicted offender, he has convict
ed France, in the court of nations, of
injustice almost incredible. He has
placed demoralized government In the
pllory of world wide contempt, and
stameped "Dishonor" in blacklist letter
ing upon the emblem OF his native land.
Zola convicted BY a jury OF puppets,
perhaps, responding to the touch OF a
desperate Federal administration held
by the throat by a gang of cowardly
and constituencies men in epaulets and
spurs. But by that larger jury. limited
only by the confines of civilization and
Christian championship of human
rights. which his country challenged to
a decision, France herself is pronounced
guilty, and lola is heralded as a man
OF exceptional courage and nerve.
His body may languish for twelve
months behind prison bars. but no
modern hastile has power to confine the
shirt of truth and justice which Is to-
day embodied In him. This will go forth
through locks and bars and walls of
stone, sowing Its righteous seeds In the
hearts and minds OF men as passion
gives way gradually to reason, and
there comes a realization OF the
enormity Of n crime worthy of the six
teenth century committed on the brink
of the twentieth. What will be the out
growth OF this spirits spread no man
NAV say But there is hidden here pos
sibilities of retribution from which the
Imagination shrinks. Flo truth is
eternal.
Let no man say that Zola is convicted.
Behind the superficial verdict of
servile court looms that other. which
circles this man with the glory of a
victor and opens wide the choicest
page of French history for his name

STAKE CONFERENCE REPORTS.


The quarterly conference of Sewer
Stake convened in the meeting house
in Richiield on Saturday, Feb. 10, 1898.
There was an unusually large attend
ance at the first session as well as dur
ing the day.
President William II. Seegmiller gave
n detailed report of the condition of the
Stake which as a whole was very fav-
orable; the amount of tithing paid in
the, stake -durirs last year exceeded
that of the previous year by over two
thousand dollars The other speakers
during the day were Bishop T. Brand
ley. Elders W. II. Clark and Joseph $.
Horne, of the Stake presidency. Bishops
Il. A. Bagley, &. A. Pinney and IL. H.
Bell, and Elder w. II. Seegmiller. The
authorities of the Church and Stake
were presented and unanimously sus-
tained.
Owing to the large attendance OF peo-
pie the opera house was obtained and
the conference convened there on Sun
day morning, at which time Elder Sey-
fnour II. Young met with the people.
and after the usual opening exercises
he addressed the conference upon the
first principles OF the Gospel. deliver
Ing most interesting and instructive
discourse
The time during the afternoon was
used by Elders III. N. Hayes and Sey-
mour 3. Young, and in the evening
is'uet iouHB utllVereu q powerful dis
course on the divine authenticity of the
Book of Mormon.
One OF the leading topics dwelt upon
by the speakers during the conference
was the move now on foot looking to
the speedy completion of our Stake
tabernacle. A concerted effort is now
being made throughout the Stake to
nave 1t completed by next fall. We
ma we are very much In need of II on
occasions of this kind. The attendance
At this conference wns much larger
tnan at any previously held at this sea-
son or the year. one factor of which
was no doubt the very favorable
weather which prevailed during the
entire time of conference. The sweet
singing was furnished by the Richfeid
choir, conducted by Brother Jones, and
was very much appreciated.
GOOD health prevails among the peo-
pie or the Stake, and In some of the
wards there Is a spirit of awakening
manifest with great many who have
Tor years been cold and Indifferent so
TAR as their duties as Saints are con-
cerned. We can also notice a marked
increase of interest and activity among
the young men and boys In the Mutual
Improvement associations as a result
OF the labors of the Y. NJ. NJ. I. mis-
sionaries who have been in our midst.
ana although we have many evils to
combat, and many obstacles to contend
with. yet to those who have the light
OF the Spirit OF God within them the
future looks bright and bopefuI.
