see, Brother PiXley came back with

Naturally. he came full OF love for his
wives. But he had been here only
few days when he became convinC ed
that one OF them had forgotten him:
something in her manner made him

came and told him that one night.

had seen this woman take leave of her
lover-had seen the man. whom he
could not recognize. embrace her at
parting. He taxed her with this, and
she at once confessed. though protest

spirit. You can Imagine his grief.
Brother Rae, for he had loved the
woman. Well, after taklhg counsel
from Brigham, he talked the matter
over with her very calmly. telling her
that unless her blood smoked upon the
ground. she would be cast aside In
eternity. She really had spiritual as.
pirations. Il seems, for she consented
TO meet the ordeal. Then. OF course.
II was necessary to learn from her the

their ultimate salvation. For Il was
announced concerning these. ~ their

II was now that Joel Rae became
conscious that he was facing directly

sought and suffered for. Though as
yet no blood for Israel had been shed
in HIS actual presence. he had attend.

that his faculties had at this time
been In trance.
He was seized at length with an i'm.
pulse to be away from II all. As the
days went by with their tragedies. he
became half wild with restlessness
and strange fear OF himself. In
spite of his lifelong training, he knew
there was wrong In the air. He could

him,-that only one thing could carry
with IL more possibilities OF evil than
this course of the Church toward dis.
senters-aud that was to doubt that
Brigham Young's voice was as the
voice OF God. Not yet could he bring
himself 10 this. But the unreasonlng
desire to be away became SO strong
that he knew he must yield to II.
Turning this in his mind one day he
met a bother Elder, n man full OF
zeal who had lately returned from a
mission abroad. There had been. he
said, a Great outpouring OF the spirit
In Wales.
And what glorious day has
dawned here" he continued. Thank
God. there is a way to save the souls
of the blind! That reminds me-have

they came again from the head OF an

was by no means certain that they
