Have not told you niany times that this universe is governed by law; that the breaking of law brings its inevitable punishment? You today are paying the penalty for broken law. You have been worshiping mammon. I, like you, am subject to law, and cannot suspend It If I would; hene, I cannot relieve you from the consequences of your acts. "Love thy neighbor as thy self, is an ideal which must be attained, The giant oak was step by step. Before you run, you must learn to once a liny seed. It did not reach its present size in a day. To help you to finally attain the two great commandments which I have given you, and on which I have declared hang all the law and the prophets, I have given you, line upon line, and precept upon precept. I have told you who you are, where you came from, why you are on this earth, and hare given you a glimpse of the' life to come and the rv' I glories that reward the faithful. You have been told you must be born again of the water and of the spirit to be initiated into the Kingdom of God, which is the Brotherhood of man. Yon must have a positive conviction that all men are your brothers and are equally entitled to inherit the earth and the bounties thereof. "When your hearts are right then you can begin the course of training in unselfishness which I have prepared for you. The truths you have you. want others to enjoy. You go on missions without salaries or earthly compensation. This Is one of your first lessons in unselfishness. You are commanded to fast one day a month, and to give the price of the food saved, to the poor. You learn what Jiunger is by being hungry. .Fasting increases your sympathy and human understanding. To you has beenVgiven the law of tithing you voluntarily give for the ppkeep of your church and the relief of the poor one tenth of your annual increase. You are taught to think of others and not to set your hearts too much on the things of this earth. This exercise has also been given to prepare you to live hlgber laws that require more unselfishness. You are called to labor without hire in grroups or organizations to teach others the way of life. You have been commanded to visit the widows, the fatherless, the eickathj afflicted, the poor and the needy, and administer to their wants. You are taught to know human suffering by actual contact. ..Many of you have been given positions of responsibility where you labor dillgifctly for the good of man, without any hope of pay in gold or silver.

A. land has been more valuable thin the buildings many have been tom away to make room for the vineard. On the old Mam Street, whith is 1848 was hustling with stores, shops and factories, there are found only a dozen el the old homes and most of these were the homes of the early leaders of the "church. Among these are the ones built by the men who became the frst five presidents of the church. Altho the houses have been built over three quarters of a century they would be a credit to any community. They are mostly constructed of red brick and finished in walnut. The foundations are generally of hewn stone. Of course the interiors art lacking the conveniences of our modern homes but nevertheless the houses today stand as a testimony to the tbxift and euter- prise of those early Mormon leaders, Th city of Nauvoo is located on a bend in the Mississippi river about a hundred miles north of St. Louis The land rises from the river in a gentle slope. The site of the Nauvoo river temple was one mile from t !u-ii- i News Items From tie Wards K elevation of 500 feet above the river. The land is well drained and should make an ideal location for a city. At the time the Mormons first located here the land was thickly covered with vegitation which may have caused a swampy condition in places during the wet rainy season In the The land is very spring of the year. I fertile and productive, even today. To the east of the city are some of the choicest farming lands in the state of Illinois. What an inspiring sight it must have been to & visitor as he sailed up the Mississippi river towards the city! The spires of a million dollar temple could be seen for miles np and down the river. The streets run at right angles north, south, east and west although many of the streets of today are used for vineyards. It Is also interesting to note that a rock curbing was placed on the edge of u,e sidewalk in all the principal streets and .may still be seen along entire blocks. One of the most interesting spots to visit In the city is the southern extremity of the old main street, next to the river. Here is located the Mansion House and Nauvoo house as well as the old Joseph Smith homestead, near which the bodies of Joseph Smith, Emma Smith and Hyrum Smith are burled. The mansion house was the official home of Joseph Smith.. The Nauvoo house was designed to be a hotel to ate the hundreds of people homing to Nauvoo at that time. It was to be a four story building 120 x 120 feet but is was never complet-Thi- s property Is today owned and maintained by the Reorganized Church the members of which are making every effort to keep the building intact. After the Mormons left Nauvoo the city was inhabited by a group of French Icarian Communists. They came from New Orleans up the Mississippi river looking for a place where they might live. Here was a well built city, in the garden spot of America, with beautiful and healthful surroundings with residences and stores and factories sufficient to accommodate a city of several thousand. Hundreds of farms deserted that had been cieareu and put in condition to be cultivated. The Icarana were in Nauvoo from 1849 to 1860. It was they who started the grape culture but the commonwealth- broke up and many returned to France. Today the city nestles quietly as one oT the most interesting historic places of early Mormondom.
