This appears to be a momentous period in our history one such as the young people of Zion, have never . before witnessed. A time of both local and general interest, not to us alone, but to the world at large. The newspapers are filled with accounts of famine drought, fires, floods, shipwrecks and earthquake, while crime of every name and nature is rampant through the land, and the gaunt forms of disease and death, stalk hand in hand together, roaming, about hither and thither at will, without any thing to impede their progress or stay their ravages. There Is truly a dark and, gloomy prospect before the Inhabitants of the earth, but it is only what we have been taught to expect, and, according to the prophecies, will prove only a beginning of troubles. , But to come nearer home, to subjects of more vltaf'iriterest to us as a people. The past few weeks, have developed some strange things; members of our community have been subjected to indignities and barefaced injustice at the hands of unprincipled Federal ofilcials, and public indignation, is aroused at the assassination of Bra Standing and the ''persecution of some of the Saints in North Carolina and other places. Truly this is a time fraught with great events, and the time is near at hand that will try the: hearts of the people, and no d and doubt, some will t grow give way to the temptations of the world, and forget their obligations to God, and their to fealty theKing of Kings,by breaking their covenants and turning traitor to the cause which they have espoused; :. But I trust that the majority of the peoplo will become more united, as the pressure from the outside grows 'stronger, and the sisters may be one with the brethren In the maintenance of ourrrights, and promotion of truth, and spreading of the jGospel. If we do this we have nothing to fearf for God Is at the helm and will protect us as long as we do right and serve him faithfully; and to do this we inuSt put awayall and strife from envy, Jealousy, our midst, and live as brethren and sisters should..

There are manykind3 of labor both of and of the mind,and woman labors tlbody in many different ways. We take flour and with labor we make bread: we take wool, and with labor we make yarn, sock3, cloth, and many other things; this is labor of the ' , While we are working with our hands: we are studying with our minds, to determine which will be the best way to cut the cloth In order to make the most of it. Then there are many different kinds of labor and each of us fs more inclined to one than another. A great many of our young women think, when they are washnig, baking, scrubbing and scouring, "If I could only qualify myself and obtain a situation In some store or office I. would be satisfied." Another will say, "If I could be a school teacher," another, a dress maker, another, a cook etc., etc. each one striving to labor according to her talent: we should qualify ourselves to fill each and all of these positions. To become an Indpendent and people, we must all labor. "There is no excellence without :t labor," and excellence In all things is our aim in life, as mothers and daughters In Israel. We are the people that should excel In all things; we have that promise if wo are faithfuland wo should all strive to attain a high standard of excellence; all labor with all our might and main, and help to bear off this Kingdom.

I do not know that there is any one that appreciates the noble acts of my' sisters more than myself. The first Relief Society was organized in Nauvoo by the Prophet Joseph Smith; he gave the sisters then the necessary instructionto7 enable them to do their duty.
