Boston Transcript Index I utmost of his opportunities. The reason for this is that the Latter-da- y work is so extended that it reaches, not only to those living, but also to those who have gone to the great world of spirita. The gospel of Jesus Christ, restored again to the earth through the in- the Prophet Joseph Smith, comprehends the present, the future and the past. This is the dispensation of the fullness of times when all things shall be restored and the Lord shall gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in him. In order that this might be done there must be a binding together of dispensations, peoples, races and families in one great unit of righteousness. With this view of the gospel and the duties which it brings to them, the Ldtter-da- y Saints must be interested In searching out their genealogies, and tracing their families as far back as possible. Unstrumentality . SOMEBODY IS NOW COMPILING THESE Below we give in alphabetic order the names found in recent issues of the genealogical section of the Boston Transcript. Those who are interested should consult the Transcript in our public library. . of consciously, perhaps, the world has greatly aided the Saints in this. Previous to the bestowing of the keys which would turn the hearts of the children to their fathers, there was very little interest taken in genealogical matters; but within recent years a wonderful awakening has taken place. Everywhere, the English especially among speaking races, men and women have been moved upon to search out thfelr ancestors and compile and print their family histories. They have been moved upon by some unknown (to them) power, so that they have spent years of time and large sums of money to have accomplish this. Societies been organized whose object is to aid and encourage genealogical reof search, and many thousands volumes have been printed of family histories and church and civil records containing vital statistics. All this the Latter-da- y Saints take to be the hand of the Lord working for the accomplishing of his purposes. We may rest assured the Lord will do his part; but what about that which rests upon every individual Is every Latter-da- y Saint doing what he can? Is he beginning with that which lies near him, which he can easily reach? First, is he keeping a record of what is taking place in his own family of births, marriages, deaths, etc. Then iis he going back as far as he can into his father's and his mother's family and getting their records? We fear that there is great neglect among the Saints in this matter, therefore, the need for this article. To the Latter-da- y Saint, the gathering of genealogy is not a fad or a mere pastime, but a matter of deep importance; neither is it to gratify vanity in regard to family, as it may be to some BY C. V. HANSEN O revelation was given to Joseph Smith, Sr. through the Prophet Joseph Smith, in February 1829, containing the following words, "Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Again in April of the same year another revelation was given to Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith, Jr., using idensame the tically language, the word with great added. we So learn that it is not only to bo a marvelous work, but that it is also to be a great work, as well. The writer had the pleasure and the blessed privilege of witnessing the presentation of the beautiful Father's House pageant "My which was rendered in the Logan tabernacle celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Logan temple. Words or pen fail to describe the beauty and enchantment manifested by this pageant. It was well rendered by all who took part. The scenes and lighting were delightful. It was interesting, educational, and inspirational. While witnessing the wonderful scenes depicted, and listening to the divine singing rendered by the choir, thd words quoted above in A great and a the revelation marvelous work, which is a wonder to all the world, was constantly before us. The closing scene, where the completed temple was depicted, was alone worth the trip. The completion of that structure is a monument of the highest order, to the faith, devotion and sacrifice of those who participated in the same, and their names will go down in history with reverence and admiration by all right thinking people. Again, the gospel plan is a 'great and marvelous work' in the sense that it not only saves the living but reaches out into the spirit world, for the salvation of those who have died and are unable now to do their own work. The spirit manifested by witnessing this wonderful pageant, should inspire the thousands who have seen it, and been thrilled by the same, to greater activity in the vicarious work for their ancestors.

When John Widmer was twenty years old he wrote as follows in his journal. The entry is mostly in German because John could talk but very l'ttle English and had more difficulty in writing the language of his adopted country. 1 December 1877, arbeitete ieh bei Paul Cardon im Temple bis am 1 April 1878. Von 1 April 1878 bis im December arbei-tttich meistens fur mich selbst. Von December 1878 bis Uarz 1879 arbeitete ich die meiste Zeit fur den Temple." From December 1, 1877, to April 1, 1878, John Widmer worked for Ptul Cardon at the temple sawmill, From then until December 1878 he worked mostly for himself, and from December 187s to March 1879 he worked most of the time for the temple. John Widmers first work on arriving in Logan was for Paul Cardon, who offered the boy food and a home, with employment all the time and wages part of the time. The wages consisted of iaod, an old house, farm products, and a little cash. He had been with Paul Cardon for almost a year and a half when he went into the canyon to help construct the sawmill. Paul Cardon was in charge of the construction of the sawmill and his arrangement with John Widmer continued, he receiviing credit as temple donation for the goods given as payment for labor to the boy. When John Widmer arrived at the sawmill the saw was installed and in operation but the mill had as yet no roof. A temporary roof vas erected over the machinery to protect it from the weather. The winter was very mild that year there being only four feet of snow on the ground at the temple mill. Sleighs could not be used in tbe lower canyon so the custom was to change from wagon to sleigh at Wood Camp in going from Logan to the mill. John Widmer remembers Uhlrich Jacob Fuhriman, and David Lamoreaux as among those who build the mill and its adjacent buildings. Two bunkhouses were built to accommodate about twenty-fiv- e men, and a mess hall and kitchen with rooms for the cook were also added. Stables and corrals for the horses and oxen were also built and these were added upon in later years. Charles Lundberg spent a great deal of time at the mill as camp black smith, shoeing the oxen, mending OBrien chains, etc. John and wife acted as cooks for some time. David Lamoreaux was tore man of the mill after it got into full 'operation. sag-muh- le e Had-crie- 1878-187- M26. West. JERSEY COW. A. M. 48 West Center.

MEAT Our Library Needs Help Research Is SATURDAY History Of (Editorial) of Utmost EVENING Logan Temple A genealogical library be a very great asset to Logan and Cache Valley. In last weeks issue of the THOUGHTS Is Retold Importance Genealogical and Temple News we published an article from Miss Wright, the librarian at our public library. She calls attention to the fact that our library, small as it is, attracting researchers from various parts of Utah and even from California. While these people are here working in the library they are spending their money here. They are carrying a good word l'or our valley to their home town. In at least one case in the last month a party who stopped to do research work in the library became so much interested in the town that an attempt is being made to move their home to this city. From all parts of our valley people are coming to our library because of the genealogical section. It is not unusual to have 200 visitors to this section in a week. Many who visit the temple spend their spare time in the library and in very many cases their visits are prolonged because they become interested in the library. The temple is perhaps the greatest attraction we have in Logan. Many thousands make frequent pilgrimages to Logan to worship in the temple. Visitors come from every slake in the church and also from every mission in the United States and Canada. A good genealogical library will appeal to many to make their visits to Logan oftener and longer, We do need more books in the library. As we recall the figures the library board has appropriated less that $30.00 to buy genealogical Jxioks and papers. The books in this section of the library have either been loaned to the library or have been purchased .by some of our good citizens and presented to the library as a gift. There are in the library about $500.00 worth of books which cannot be used until they are rebound. There are many books which are just as standard in a genealogical library as a dictionary in a high school, which we do not have. The library board claims that tax money is not available for their purchase. If they are purchased at all it must be by those who are interested in the library. In the last year we have done wonderfully well. Can we do as well in the next year? 75c Men don. End, ' Contribution! to this department should be sent to President W. M.

It was a raw, cold day, a foretaste of winter in October, when the postman on his rural round brought the letter to Donna. Thinking it some kind of circular, since the address was typed, she tossed it on the dining room table and continued her work of polishing the silverware. Later she noticed it again and opened It. The dipping, with a picture of Madeline beneath the headlines, was like a blow in the face. Donna stared at the printed worda. Physical nausea swept over her.
