occupied most Of the time during the
afternoon service, and said in part:
"This large audience Is an imposing
sight. 1t Is noticeable that the ladies
have their heads uncovered. This is
as IL should be, for IL is very annoying to
have the view INSTRUCTED by women's
headgear. Speaking OF the choir, |
feel that much honor and credit is due
its mem bers and leader.
The speaker read from Section IS Of
the Doctrine and Covenants, treating
upon the acquisition Of wealth. There
1t Is related how the Nephites OF old
became filled with pride owing TO
their riches.
The speaker then made the applica
tion to the present day life when fine
residence and apparel lift some men,
bers above their brethren. lie said:
Glass distinctions are Objectionable
to the Lord. The riches of this world
are in his hands and he distributes
them as he chooses. First seek after
the things Of the Kingdom, then the
Lord will bless the good and faithful
with the blessings OF the earth to do
good. We are much blessed people,
having an abundance of food and rain
ment. Some are becoming rich but
are not better on this account. The
Lord expects us to be frugal. and when
there is much given there is much ex.
pected. No member of the church is
exempted by the Lord from the pay
ment OF tithing, the rich as well as
the poor. The Lord will bestow bless
ings upon us II we will do our part.
| remind YOU that the Latter-day
Saints are getting rich. Some OF our
sisters can dress finer than Others, but
this should not make them feel above
their poorer sisters. This feeling is
not approved of by the Lord. 1t is not
dress that proclaims the man or wo-
man, IL is the heart in the individual.
Wealth should be secondary consid-
Grafton with us, not the first.
Those of moderate, wealth can do
much TO help the poor. The extreme
ly rich through avarice hoard up
money, which is left behind. There
are no pockets in our shrouds and the
money is generally left TO ruin child
rem. Wealthy men, leave some OF
your means for the benefit of chart
table institutions that your good deeds
and name may be perpetuated. In
New York city wealthy woman has
invested $780, 900 in bath tub This
appears TO be waste OF money, posi-
bly, on one Of her hobbies. Another
lady, Anna Gould, spent $40, 900 for a
bed. IL is said that Howard Gould
has spent one half million in a COW
barn and chicken yard. This was a
fancy of his. Young Brady Martin
spent $40, 900 for his wedding suit. In
fashionable society in New York city
an average wedding costs SIC, 900 There
are 5000 women in New York City who
spend $1,000 each on their wardrobes,
making 81 millions each year all done
TO satisfy the claims Of fashion.
Money flows like water, The attri-
butte OF woman is love, and If they
will not have children, many Of them
lavish their love upon little poodle
dogs. These animals are provided

One outfit imported from Europe
cost $1,000. a house built in the
Queen Ann style was for fayorite

one OF these dogs, Usually the own
ers OF these dogs do not believe in hav-
