The Valley of Our Dreams.

Down in the valley
Amt the place to stop
While a star can light you
Ep the ladder to the top.
Yet. after all the climbir'
Where far-off glory CLEANS.
We yearn towards the valley
The valley OF our dreams!
Down in that valley
We saw the golden years;
And knew not that Fame'S starlight
Streams through a storm of tears.
With the bright unfurrowed faces
We met the mOrnin's beams
Led loveward by the lilies
In the valley of our dreams.
An weary of the toilin,
An weary o the strife.
If you ask us where were goin
In the winter-time OF hie:
Forever comes the answer
Where glOry's sunlight streams:
Were travellers to the valley

r. long plea SAINT fall deferring the
coming of winter until December 10,
1905 is what we have had. With our
eight inches of snow upon the smooth
ly worn frozen ground beneath, the
prospects for an ideal winter season
for business are good. Somehow it
seems more fitting and natural to hear
sleigh bells in December than the
rumblng of wagons and every wisher
for snow should now be happy and
hustle. for spring will be with us in
only few weeks.

NauVoo. ILL.,. Nov. 15.---After the re-
cent conference held here on Sept. 30
ana Oct. |. Elder b. G. Webb of Lehi
and myself were left here to follow nm
the friends that were made during con-
ference and to organize a Sunday
school. We had been here but one
week when the ''Josephtes" came and
tried y stop our progress. They held
special conference for nine days,
trying to poison the minds OF the peo-
pie here against the Utah "Mormons,"
but met with very little success.
They related the history OF Nor
mons very nicely-up to the time when
they were driven from Nauvoo to the
west, but from then on they mis-
represented us. They sang the same
old tune polygamy. which of course
tickles the ears OF some people. but not
here In Nauvoo. One man says. They
have threshed that grain over and over
until there Is nothing left but chaff."
The history OF the "Mormons' has been
one OF persecution ever since the day
the Church was organized, and now the
"Josephites" have Joined the band of
prosecutors, and at the present time
take the lead In the procession. Per-
haps they are not aware of the fact that
the harder YOU kick ball the farther

Is kicked the farther 1t will roll. until
