Cannon supplimented his his remarks by stating his gratifica-tion at the establishment of Church Schools, and Religious Classes. That it was necessary to Uain our children to move ia a higher sphere than we have ever occupied. A letter was read, written to Pres. Peterson, by C. N. Lund of Mt. Pleasant expressing his gratification at the good work accomplished by the home missionaries sent there. IiP. AU.RED of Spring; City said he would be as brief and correct as possible.

Liked the idea of having the home missionaries or teuhers, labor. ng trom house to house The South Ward (lechers ward) of Spring City, had been nearly completed, but Ihe brother appointed to labor in the North pait had been called heme by sickness. The teach ers had given a good report of the people, and the peo-ple had spoken well of the teachers. Said he had sent one of t e regular tea-ctic- rs with them, though he did not know that such instructions had been given. The teachers held regular meet-ings winter and summer, and did not know how they would keep the spnit of the gospel weie it not for this corps of teachers. The Sunday schools were doing be.ter than ever. Active men were 111 charge who took gieat pride in them. Church or Kelson Classes were held on Saturday. Good district schools, and all kepi full.and exemplary men for teacheis. The people had paidons third mote tithing than they dio last vear, and there was a good outlook. Sunday meet, ings well attended, evening meetings not so well. The luke warm classes of which there were a few, were reached by the Teachers. These men were select (or their pure lives, and out of thirty there were but four who did not keep the Word of Wisdom' All the teacheis were instructed not to teach what they did not practice. Did not know how the Apostles cauied such vast loads of re-sponsibility. He felt burdened some-times with the aflaiis of one small but realliztd that he was not so strong, and it did not late so much to load him. That Rt such times the I'res iding men of the Stake would come and give Ihen a talk and he would feel bet-ter. Asked God --o give all the Saints wisdom to do what was right.

Was pleased with the attendance, but hoped and expected that the house would be crowded to its fullest capacity. Realized that the inclement weather mijdii inter-fere somewhat with the number of visit-ors from abroad, but there were enough of the residents of Ephraim to fill the :lioue, almost. The condition of the Slake in general, was good. In this place there has been some sickness and a few children have succumbed to the scour-ge, Diptheria. Not a great many.but still one is too many. The Latter-da- Saints have come, however, in part to that un-derstanding, that when we have fasted and prayed, and then death takes our dear ones, that they die unto the Lord. That there are some not born to reach the Daniel spoke of, that of three score and ten. Most ol us niav. Presi-dent Woodruff, is now S4 years old. Said we were ob!i;ed to believe when we had done all that was required of tu, in faith, and our children weie taken, that they were of that choice fruit which God haddecbredhe would gather home to himself. That he was gathering them both old and young. It shouid be much comfort to know that our chilciien were of these choice spirits. There was not so much diptheiia here s at some of our other tow ns, where public meetings had been suspended.and schools closed. At present they all seemed in a fair way to get rid ot it. There had been some other milder forms ofillnes, such as scarlatina, etc., but there were nodeaths resulline, and since the weather became seasonably cold, these had disaopeared. Said the spiiitual siand iu of the people before the Lord he believed was good. There were very few who would not do all that was tequired of them. Meet-ings were held regulail), the Stake was fully organized. There are occasionally temporary vacancies, caused by remov-al, etc., that ate filled sso.n as possi-ble. U'e have selected ward mission-aries in each town to go to si me other place and go.ftom house to house and talk to the people as the teacheis d.i. Lielieved it would result in much od Had already received one very high testimonial. These utissionares are sup-posed to report to the Bishops ol the towns to which thev go, and labor under the:r directions. Said nearly all that had been appointed had started on their work. Admonished them not to be in a hurry when paying these visits, even if there was not a great deal ol cordiality d. splayed by those whom they visited, but remain and talk good talk to them, and there would be a response from their listeners before they parted Not to expect to do all at once. It would take one call to get acquainted, the sec-ond time they could more neaily ap-proach them. Said he realized that we should be as united in temporal things as in sp'riiual things. But the attempt that had been made to build a school house in the north ward looked fke there were sonis who were willing to let others do most of the work. Financially, he said: last year there was a good crop, two yeirs ago it was light and three years ago we had a poor crop aud a very dry season, that did much damage to the hrge area of swamp land that had been winter pasturage for our stock. The drought of that time had killed oui the grass, rushes, cane. elc. That the money had been picked out of the com-munity. Stores were so good in credit ing, that the people reallv strained their credit sometimes. The railroad had not benefitted the people generally, only a lew coniraciors, and not (hem a great deal. There was not much sur-plus grain left in our midst, but the price was low. Ytt the pejple were not in distressed circumstances. The lew who needed hdp were taken care of by the Bishops and Relief Societies.

They tell us that church aud state are now separated, but said he would tell them t hat the church had never interfered or atempted ta coerce voters There were very few difficulties among the people, either before the Bishop or courts. In most things they were a good God fearing people. Spoke of the lelig-iou-classes in all the wards.

On of our business men went to Ephraim the other day to negotiate a Joan. It was understood he was from Spring City and the money was nearly forthcoming when it became known that the money was for invest-ment in Mt. Pleasant enterprises. The parties who were nearly ready to hand over the coin said they would let no money g out into Mt. Pleasant. Why, what's the matter with this city? It is one of the best places to be found around here now for investment. 'Who can explain? Pyramid. And thus it goes. Every town in San Pete is borrowing money in Eph raim. Why can't Ephraim have a bank? She does most of the bank-ing business, even though there is a btnk in the county. |
