Guilty said: "AS Saints we ought |
to be thankful each day of our lives
for the many blessings by which we
are surrounded. lie referred to a !
publication in the Saturdays Dcscrct !
News wherein it is stated that John
w. Rigdon, the only remaining son of
the noted Sidney Rigdon, had Joined
the church and was baptized in the
Hudson river on the sth day Of the
present month. Owing TO the early
| talk of his father which he well re-
membered, he has remained away
from other religious denominations.
John w. Rigdon was baptized into
the church when nine years of age.
Through his fathers apostacy he
never took part in any religion from
that time till now. The speaker re-
ferred to the life of Oliver Cowdry sub
sequent to his leaving the church.
Oliver Cowdry never denied his pub
lished testimony regarding the diyin-
ity of Joseph Smiths mission. Many
who leave the church can not escape
the testimony; they try hard, but it
follows them to chde them of their
waywardness. When Jesse Smith
was president Of the Scandinavian
mission, a woman asked permission to
emigrate to Utah with her child, thus
separating from her husband who was
not a member of the church. The
request was denied. Pres. Smith
visited the husband, explained the
wish OF the wife and the husband gave
his wife permission to emigrate to
Utah, although by so doing he feared
) his life would be wrecked. The hus-
band being seaman departed for a
voyage, bidding adieu to his wife and
little boy who came to Utah. While
at sea he found a book of Mormon
which his wife had placed in his
trunk, and he read 1t. Upon his re.
turn from the voyage he applied tc
, Jesse M. Smith for baptism. After
= joining the church he came to Utah
= where he and his wife became reunit
e ed and are living happily together.
