Rev Sylvester Burt, DID,, Of Ash
tabula, O., preached yesterday morn
ing at the First Methodist church on
the subject. Christ the Comforter Of
the Troubled.
Dr. Burt said that at some time in
the life of every individual. trouble
was sure to come to him. Faith in God
is a source of light to the troubled, he
asserted, and this faith in a supreme
master is almost universal throughout
the world, although il is modified in
many ways In ais prophecies, in his
words and in his works Jesus gives US
Gods promise OF comfort.
He says, IN my fathers house there
are many mansions" and we are
promised that there will be a place for
each one of US there. Jesus stands be-
tween us and the worlds doubts His
own faith in the goodness of his
Father was so unbGunded that he leaves
in his Wa Us to us no place where the
foot of doubt may be planted.
There are those Who regret that they
are not permitted to see Jesus and
hear him speak and witness his
miracles, said DR.. Burt, but they
should be satisfied. for the world has
the testimony Of what he has promised
us and his own assurance that he is
still in our service, for he has prom
ised us in direct words, L win come
again and receive YOU unto myself that
where 1 am there We may be also

from the Samoan islands, diseoursed on
the benefits TO he derived in the mis-

progress in the mission from which he

treated with the utmost kindness by
the natives. During the war over there
the elders were allowed to pass unmo-
Tested through the army ranks at will.
This seems very remark able. 1t is par
TALLY due to the native superstition.
They dare not touch a minister harm
fully.
IF one of the elders should be harm
ed by them they would lay every ca
lamity in the future to this account.
Even those natives who despise the
Latter-day Saints Will go without a
meal to give the elders ore. Those who
have relatives there reed not fear for
their welfare"
Elder George Campbell. from the Col
orado mission, related some very inter

ing way.
Apostle John Henry Smith followed
with a few remarks on the evidences
Of the gospel. Each one of us, he held
is given free agency to do or not to do
the will of God, and we know full well
the results of disobeying his commands,
as we'll as the benefits Of obeying.
Sickness, disease and hereditary. faint.
he said, were results of turning away
from Gods will Apostle Smith admon-
ished the people to live lives of virtue,
that the blessings upon the Saints may
continue.
