Independence, Mo-, not that the Utah
Mormons will move there, but they Will
build a Mormon city there. That is the
feeling of all Mormons. remember
that every time my father gathered his
children for family prayer, and he did
so twice each day, ne never failed TO
pray that the Mormons might be al
lowed to return to Jackson county,
Missouri, and reclaim the waste lands
of Zion. 1t is the hope of every Nor
mon, and it will be realized when We
get enough money. I visited 1ndepen-
dence recently, and the people are now
willing to sell us the lands, which they
refused to sell before. We hold the
government title to most of the lands,
but we will not push our claim. We
will buy the lands again outright.
Then we will build the most beauti-
full city on earth. We will erect
magnificent temple, and the city will
be the headquarters of the church. In
