It was like tho gmin of mustard sed spoken of in tbe parable, AUo like the pearl ot great price, to obtain which we had been willing, like Abraham ef old, to leave country and kindred, forsake all thing, and sell all we had, so that we might ob tain tho pearl of eternal life. The light bestowed upon us through obeying the ordinances we hadreoeived, had enabled us, not by the wisdom of men but by tbe influence of revelation, to see the This spirit things of God as they are. of light came forth from God, and was the spirit of Christ which "enlightened very man that cetnetb into (be world." Some only possessed it in a small degree, but if all mankind would heed its suggestions, it would lead tbera to Christ. It was the privilege of the Saints to possess It abundantly; and if tbey would discipline themselves and bate their eyes single to the glory of God, they would become filled with this light, progressively from one degree to another, until they obtained a fullness, lis eoncluded by exhorting the Saints to pure lives, prayerful, upright t, obedience to the laws of God and tbe counsels of His servants, observance of their obligations and covenants, and entire devotion to the cause of truth. x favorite theory of many It is hard money politicians, that the panic of 1873, and the following depression in trade was caused by act over .production of staple products In our couutry, but when it is remembered that most of those whe make that assertion, are known to be iu the interest ol piialiU, their statements should be taken with much v- , allow-anc- ' ' '-- ' ; e.' - , Will our sub jcriber inform us of even one farmer iu his neighborhood whe is less prosperous iu oonse- On the quence of over production? contrary, does he not know that the farmer who produces the most wheat, barley, oats, Torn, pork, beef and po- . .1 I.! taioes, is generauv Bpeasiog me idubs prosperous and thrifty man in his 7 acquaintance?

Now, sir, it is pretty well demonstrated,' by past experience, that calamities, like that above mentioned, in many instances repeat themselves, and that in quick order. If it be true that powder is kept in such dangerous proximity to tbe city or rather, in the heart thereof would Ogden fare even as vidl as did Salt Lake, should a like catastrophe take place here? I think not. And again, under the circumstances just named, who would be looked to tn shoulder the blame for the great less of life and property wliich such an aocidenl might cause? I think, Mr. Editor, that injustice to the cilixens of Ogden, tbe tnaiur should be looked iaio by tbe proper authorities and, if it b that powdar is stored in the city, it ougbt to be re moved to some spot, where, should an explosion take place, there would be no danger to life or property.

Mr. Woodward, .of U. M. fecott & Co., agents fur the Hercules powder, testified that the latter only exploded by concession, not by spentaneous combustion. Giant powder would ex plode without any apparent cause. ' At the time of tbe explosion there were about 2, 000 pounds of Hercules in the magazine. Witness considered ibat tho magazines were well aud substantially constructed. Mr. M. H. Walker, of Walker Bros., agents for the California and Oriental powder companies, stated that his firm had about 80,000 pounds of black powder stored in the magazines. The firm, some years ago, gave up the agenoy of giant powder, on acoount of the danger in handling it. He theught if a bullet fired through the door of the magazine should strike Hercules caps, it would cause them to explode. Mr. II 13. Clawson, Snpt. of Z. C. M.
