10 give such counsel and admoni uon
as might bee needed. Bishops snouId DC
acquainted with every member OF their
wards and should exercise more care
than they sometimes do In ceeommena-
Ing men for missions. Those among me
saints who are not members OF the
Church should be visited and the Cos
pei presented TO them, and this should
be- done not only by precept but by eN-
ample. We should hold the Gospel az
such a price, however that we Wouli
place IL before them II II would be Of
fenslVe to them to do so, but we should
show interest In them and try TO WIN
them TO the Church, Every man VINO
bears the Priesthood should love TO
teach, and should be q teacher by pro-
cent and by example. Every man Whp
enjoys the Spirit Of the Lord should be
anxious that others might enjoy It, ami
Mould no helpful To- others and eager to
DO good to all. -,..,,
