If we stop Importing we would soon become an independent people. Endorsed the sisters' remarks. Said "Continue to labor and you will be blessed and sustained in all clothes.- things." Sister Snow el t to urge the manufacture Osborn, President Cousins being absent Said their organization was of but recent date, yet there was an interest awakened among the young ladies, and they were anxious to improve in everything that was .. elevating and good. ; Sister Kimball said she had listened with great interest to the reports; hardly expected to find us so far advanced. Was pleased to see that union and good feeling prevail among us, and the willingness manifested in responding to the calls bo promptly. Wished to encourage the editing of papers in 'our associations, thus giving an! opportunity to exercise all the literary ability we may possess. Felt to thank God Ifbr l the : earnestness that characterizes every move" of the young sistere in Bear Lake. ,r Sister Home said she could see considerable improvement in tho young ladles of Bearl4ake slii glad to see the young shoulder the responsibilities as well as they did. It Would not be "long before we would realize the result of our labors. Felt to give her faith and prayers that we may continue .in the good work in spite of any opposition. Satd we had those at the helm whot if we listened, could teach us true principle, and there was much praise due those who stepped forward so willingly; she knew the Lord would bless and strengthen : them and fit and qualify them for their labors. Advised us to begin right at the alphabet of our religion, so as to have a good : foothold; it would always prove a safeguard under all circumstances. Wished us to do away with all slang phrases cultivate refinement : in every form, clothe our minds with suitable thoughts, even If we did not pay so much attention to outward adorning. Thought there was great credit due the gleaners of Bear Lake; felt confident the, Lord would bless those who did all they could to store away grain for the time of need, and that would be obeying counsel also. "Wanted to have the. number of papers duly reported that were taken by the sisters, and what papers they were. Felt to urge the necessity of home manufacture in all branches practicable. Becommended Sister Suow's poems for the perusal of the young people, and all , the Church works.! Also c d us to inculcate , true principle and correct morals in the minds of the young. i Bro. Bich expressed great pleasure in meeting with the young, ladies. Said he was pleased to boo how earnest they .were in the good "work they were engaged in, considered it praiseworthy. Was acquaint-ei.wit- h tho. sisters who were visiting us, in tfauvoo; they were good sisters and worthy of our; attention. Said we lived in the last dispensation, when the Lord had again spoken, and we must heed. He sometimes thought we hardly appreciated the blessings we enjoy daily,, For instance, those who have their sight don't always appro, elate it, and never could until deprived of it.We can aspire to almost anything, if we live worthily before the Lord. And is there anything more desirable than the Holy Priesthood to be queens and priest of straw, for that was within our' reach; little boys and girls could help us materi- ally in that branch. Suggested the forming of a committee in each association for that purpose; felt assured we could make a sue cess of It In Salt Lake there was too much of the gross element to go Ihto that business. God had given us ability, and not altogether for our own personal advantage, but to help benefit others. Asked the Lord to bless the efforts of the ypung people of Bear LakeiVI'-"-U- Mrs. L. M.

I have chosen Order, for a subject to write upon. "Order is the first law of heaven." then how essential it Is for us to observe order in all'places, at all 'times and e3 pecially In a place of worship, for where order is observed-ther- e will be peace, and will of God the spirit prevail; therefore it is necessary for n to keep order in our meetings: the younger girls should try to keep from whispering and laughing as it is . very m.mannerea, nenner is tne Liora plpased with it; and our meetings were organized to teach us the way of the Lord aud although we cannot become perfect all at once yet If We keep oh trying we1 will at last aucced ahd come off victorious and in the end wear the the righteous. to How beautiful go into a house where order is perfect kept, there we see happiness beaming from v the faces of both mother and children; land every thing works as harmoniously as clock-wor- k : whenever we visit such a home we aro not in a hurry to leave, but we love to stay and see the happlness, and feel the .'peaceful Influence of the spirit of ,God for, iu such a home It dwells.
