In contemplation ef the prcseut and future it behooves the Latter-daSaints to look well to themselves, and put their trust in the arm that is powerful to save, and if In any possible way they can avoid being party to any of ttrc schemes for ruining and overthrowing the government, then are they favored of the Lord, for surely the Lord has said judgments will come, but wo unto him by whom they come. "Let him laugh who wins," the saints can afford to wait, and in the intervals of peace and plenty prepare wisely for the. day of trouble and scarcity. Seek diligently unto the Lord to bo taught in His ways lest any be led astray and partake of tho plaguos and scourges pronounced upon the uugodiy. 1 " -- . WOMEN'S COMMISSION HOUSE.
