The method- - used to secure means for for which the society .haritable )iirjo-- e va- organizel - one of the problems that has to le dealt with in a practical way. o There an educational side the study for the improvement of the mind and heart, and the necessity of knowledge of a hat - taking place from day to day and t!ie progress made along what is termed the onvau's field of activity. "I he in clubs, social and u!)iects literary, might be introduced in their projx?r lace in the Relief Society. Already much h - Ik'cii done in this direction through lecture- and by other means connected with the mothers' work, but more can vet be given if care is taken to keep a balance of spiritual growth in the ascendancy. Faith in the gopel and in the principles thereof must be at the root of all progress, if we are to succeed in securing the salvation of those most near and dear .to us. which is the ultimate desire and object of all Latter-daSaints. That we cannot be - ived in ignorance is an established fact, therefore we' must strive kto educate ourselves along all lines. We cannot too highly appreciate the advantages we have in and through the Relief' Society. It is the best and most coihplete system of organized charity that has ever been known, extending into all civilized countries where the. gospel has been preached and' converts made, and giving to women the opportunity to dispense charity, in wisdom, to all those in need of material help;, and .the still higher privilege to mister in a spiritual way to those-- who are stewing the bread of. life, also "the sorrowing,and the despondent who are in darkness and who appreciate a helping, hand, for the siters. generally speaking, are full of tenderness and sympathy and. endeared to each other in the ..bonds.0 of loving fellowship, are able to draw near to the standard of Pv,,i. lence set by theavior who had; the love vi. r !aK.

After all. it is the firm belief of the a r is that the world growing better,, that u:a:,. kind is attaining a higher standard of !e and that a greater number of are. seeking after truth and striving to k e; more fully the higher law, "To do unt.. others as we would have others do unto here has never been' a time in the world's history when the love of human kind manifest in words and deeds as the .present. Intelligence has become more widespread and the springs of joy and happine-- s that tlow from its fountains are reaching out to all who will receive its benefits. There need be no fear of a backw.tr tendency uow the world is too far advanced, and the generation of younger people who are now coming forward with minds alert and with new energies will keep up " with the rapid advancement in the race progress. In view of all this, the writer urges the sisters in all the Relief Societies cultivate faith and never neglect to pray with faith. As a help in this direction 'ac would recommend the Lectures upon Faun in the book of Doctrine and Covenants, ir we had the faith that the sick could, he healed, what a precious blessing it would be. and faith like this we should instil into the souls of all who will listen to the teachings on this subject. We must, as older people, embody faith in all our. teaching- - t the youth of Zion that it may become a' part of their "daily lives. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of thing-no- t seen." Tennyson says, in hjs celebrate poem. "In Memoriam :" "Strong Son of God, Immortal Love.
