"1 have known Sister Lewis since girlhood, and knew- that she wasalways faithful to the principles she advocated. Her nobility of soul was shown when she entered into celestial marriage with her husband, sulTciIng the butlctings of those not of the same religion as she was, but she has been true to herself, her-self, her husband and to her religion. It is a source of much pleasure that Sister Lewis has been rclioved of her sufferings, and, having lived the life of a true Latter-day Saint, Is entitled to those promises and rewards that are for the faithful. We have to pass through trials and tabulations to obtain ob-tain a knowledge of that which will be of bcnellt to us in later life." Frank IJaugli sang "Not half has ever been told." Pres. Jos.
