we much 20 be thankful for l trust
that each one OF us, as We look into
our consciences and consider the ex-
periences OF our own lives. when
we. have arrived at the age at which
he has arrived and have passed
through the varied experiences which
he has endured. that our consciences
will say TO US: I have betrayed no
trust. have violated no obligation. nor

Missionaries Needed.
There should never be an abats-
ment among the Saints IN the great
work. In the letters we have received
from young men IN the mission field
We have received cries for more miss
sionaries-more are needed in the
field. And the response has been: I
will go as soon as / am called Some
cannot go just at the time when they
are called. and ask for a year within
which time they can Etraighten up
their business affairs and leave with
out embarrassment. and the church
has always granted the extension. And
what I say about the boys is also true
of the girls-they have been eager
and willing to aid in the cause, and
the maidens who have taken up the
work have shown themselves TO give
this their whole time in a heroic man
ner.
There are a number OF topics upon
which I might talk today. One OF
them is this: see an evidence of
1 drifting away from settlements on
the part OF the Mormons, an uneasi-
ness In some sections. Brethren wan
der around hunting for something
better just beyond-a golden reward
just over the hill. They travel to Mex
leo, 70 South America, to Canada. and
that for which they sought and for
which they made many privations
never came. They dissipate their
means and then return to their noun
tain home. We have sought to stop
this tendency. We have strived to
have the man care for the legitimate
household. that the children should
not be wanderers OF the world. be-
lieve that the wanderlust results in
ceaseless wandering, and leads to the
complete humiliation in finances and
also in the physical well being.
Home and Flag.
'The United States is good enough
for me. Under the flag any good
American can md home and be at
feel a spirit of satisfaction when you
know and feel the mission OF that
nag. We all know what 1t has done
for you and yours; what it has done
for me and mine. From foreign
shores came my ancestors, driven by
the tyrannical rule and unjust perse-
cution of unjust rulers. And 1t was
my ancestors and yours who helped
fashion the laws and constitution OF
the United States
1T is for the Latter-day Saints TO
sustain and honor the laws of the
United States. Our faith tells US that |
we must not violate any law which |
has been declared constitutional and |
that the constitution OF the state and |
nation must be held inviolate. And |
we recognize obedience to these laws. |
And when any member OF the church |
steps aside from laws OF this state /
and nation he accepts personal re-
sponsibility for that act
I'VE rejoice I'm the blessings we /
have received under this flag, more
generous than I'm any other country.
Homes of Plenty.
East OF Us we ind one OF the
finest sections in the world. which
should be settled. Homes should be
homes of plenty, homes of love,
homes of devotion, homes Of honor,
homes of integrity. 1t is for the build
ing OF these homes that the Latter
day Saints should strive, that they
should work increasingly. Be true
to yourself and to your fellow man.
and watch that your home is clean
and that the right thoughts and sur
are furnished 10 your chill
dren. For carelesSness in this mat
ter forebodes evil for the parents.
IF your son comes TO pay his ad-
dresses to my daughter, he should
pay them as a man, cleCn, moral and
upright. And the girl sLould be above
in her morals and in every
other way. And when my sons go
into your homes their conduct should
be above reprOach. We should have
young men and young women with
so clean that wherever
