Easter, let your wife walt Tor tnat
new bonnet until Easter comes around,
and try to make your old buggy do for
this year. See II you cannot manage
with II this year and get another one
next. Get out Of debt. For my part
am trying to wiggls out Of debt and
when do get out am going to try
to keep out. Use to good advantage
the abundance OF the harvest that
you will reap this year and that the
Lord has blessed you with, and try
and curtail your expenses a little.
When we see our neighbors wife with
a fine ribbon on her hat or in her hair.
why know 1t is awfully hard for US
to refrain from getting a ribbon
little bit wider. Or the feather on
her hat, II 1t is a little longer, chances
are that our wives will want one
little longer, In spite Of anything to
prevent 1t. Well now for heavens
sake, does happiness depend upon the
length OF the feather or the width Of
the ribbon? l should say, NO. Does
it depend upon these temporary pleas
ures, the excess Of going to the Lake,
as we have In Salt Lake City; the ex.
cess Of running here and there for
pleasures? The real pleasures after
all are those Of doing good and they
are Of lasting nature. Let US "cut.
out" to use slang phrase, q little Of
this everlasting seeking after pleas
ure, and let US seek to aid somebody
else. Burns said:
"'But pleasures are like peoples
spread,
You seize the flower It's bloom Is sped;
Or like the sun falls in the river,
A moment white-then melts for.
ever;
Or like the borealis race,
That fits ere you can point their
place;
Or like the rainbOws lovely form :,
Ere vanishing amid the storm
And so 1t Is with these so.called plea
sures.
I'VE can do without a good many
things that we think 1t impossible to
do without II we try; let us curtail
ourselves In our expenses and 1t will
be fine thing for our children as we'll
as for yourself and for your wife. The
struggle Of my life has been and still
Is to keep my children-I was going to
say from making fools of themselves
l think l may say It, and the struggle
Of my life with myself has been to re.
frain from doing the same thing. But
we are all pretty much alike with our
children aud when we yet q little
means about all we think about is to
spend them.
II rejoice 10 this work; ! know In
my soul and believe with all my
heart and In every fiber OF nv being
that the work we are engaged In 10
Gods work. 1t Is his organization.
There is none other like it in the
world. No man or set OF men can Or
ganize one like 1t. Men may get to-
gether and organize a church with
the same Officers, but 1t will not be
like this church. Sometime ago was
In conversation with q GENTLE. He
was from the center Of culture. He
was from Boston and you know Boston
people are full Of culture, and he says:
why couldn't anyone organize .
church In the same way and produce
the same results9' ! said, Try 1t,
try 1t. Go back there and get the
highest class Of people that you can
and organize II In the same way and
you will find this wanting in your or.
danization,, the spirit Of the thing
that will bind the hearts OF the people
together and testimony OF that spirit
that the Lord can only give to their
souls that they can feel through the
guidance Of Providence that they are
engaged In the work of the Lord.
That you cannot give. That spirit is
In this church and nowhere else. No
other people in all the world are
blessed with that as we are, and that
is why we are better than other peo-
pie. 1t is because God has given us
