President Snow urged the people to
get ready for this event. speaking of a
most powerful manifestation he had
received to the truth of what he had
said and TO the truth of the gospel. He
said there was once great NEED of
reformation among the people, but
that il had already commenced The
Latter-day Saints, he said, had done
that which they never did before in
paying their tithing. He said the 9TH
ing receipts had been double the
amount this year and last than two
years ago, the reformation being won
derful.
Now, as L have read to YOU con-
tinued President Snow, I'VE viii not
take the land around Zion by force.
There are only two ways, either by
purchase or by right. II by purchase,
you viii blest, and if by blood. your
enemies are upon you and you will be
scourged from snyagogue to syna-
gogue- This refOrma tiOn regarding the

for long time, saving it TO buy land

Herald's Story Confirmed.
President Snow then told the story
of the coming here of two representa-
tiveS of the JOsephites or Re-organized
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints in the interest of an amalgama-
ton, confirming the story as printed
at the time in The Herald, but which
the Deseret News made strong effort
to deny Said he:
"A short time ago two men called
upon US and tried to esta bIish a union
between the Latter-day Saints and Jo-
sephites. They said they had a reveIa-
ton that the time had come when the
temple should be built in jackson coun-
". They proposed that we send four
men and the Josephites send four to
confer upon the matter and see what
could be done about making a union
and building the temple in the land of
Zion We could see no good object in
that, of course. They may have had a
revelation that the time had come but
L want 20 tell you that that temple win
not be built by that class of people"

remarks, Horace 5. Ensign sang in

took up the question of the coming of
Christ, and urged the people to prepare.

longer published, many had the idea
that there are no revelations.

Spread of the Gospel.
President Cannon spoke at great
length on the spreading of the gospel
to all nations of the earth. He thought
this nation had been warned sufficient
", since everybody has had the oppor-
tunlty OF hearing the gospel and knew
what II was from the agitation of the
! great Mormon question throughout
the country

allow ourselves TO be murdered? We
must leave this nation and risk death

OF the gospel No doubt there are
thousands of souls praying for God To
send them freedom. We must preach
to all.
There are Oriental lands yet I'M
touched, Oriental lands unpenetrated
by the gospel Those people have to be
preached to and the honest souls picked
out. God will send elders there We
1 should withdraw our efforts to an ex-
tent from those who know and let the
gospel be sent where tyranny reigns
God will soften the hearts of the rulers
He did in Germany, and it will be the
same in Russia, the Latin lands, and
all the countries of eastern Europe.
