HIS GUSHING GRATITUDE.

II is splendid thing TO sec OF hear
an exhibition of personal gratitude for
favor extended by another. Usually,
TOO. when man expresses his thank
fulness, he at the same time defines
the favor for which lie feels grateful.
This observation is prompted on ac-
count of something said by Apostle
Whitney in his tabernacle sermon Of
last Sunday.
Ii Will bc recalled that Mr.. Whitney
praised and exalted President Joseph
+. Smith before the people rs if he
were a god. He paid tribute 10 Mr..
Smith s honesty, aud declared, prac.
tic0lly, that no better man ever lived
upon the Garth. He did not say, how
ever, what favor President Smith had
extended TO him, and on account of
which he felt Impelled 10 elorify his
ecclesiastical superior. II may have
been, of course. that his gratitude to
the president Of the church was for
having made it possible for him to be-
come an apostle, with the pay annexed {;

estimation Of the hicrarchical body,
