A few weeks since, one Sunday evening after Ward meeting Ever Thinc-was politely invited by her brother to take a walk, and call on that nice little girl.

Being a visitor at a Relief Society meeting, held in one of our principal cities, not long since, we were very much impressed with a. little anecdote related by an Elder who was requested to address the congregation.

"In a little settlement called Twelve, Mile Grove, in the northern part of Illinois, for. a short where some Saints season, a band df their children got together, and were playing among themselves, when in innocent childishness one of them proposed that they "play meeting.

They all concluded that they would; so oner little fellow was chosen to preside, and he called on another who opened the meeting with prayer; then they all sang some little verses of a hymn that they happened to know; were-locatc- d tly anorthatjteti) others, giving their little thoughts and testimonies as they had heard their fathers d o. After a wh i e they dismissed their meeting, appointing another time when they should meet and play it over again, resolving not to tell anybody about it. Two or three times they met and held such meetings, when the Spirit of the Lord was poured out upon them to such a degree that some of them received the gifts of speaking in tongues, and prophecy; and others having thegift of interpretation, arose and interpreted what had been said; the! rere mad e ..so glad and full that they had to manifest it at home, and bear testimo ny t o t heir par en ts of what they had done and what the Lord had done up and spoke Ever Thine. -' . i to-th- o : 1 In the Gulf of Manaar (Ceylon) turtles are uently found of such a size as to measure five feet in length- - SirEmerson Tennant states tha. t, in riding along - the one day, he saw a man in charge of some sheep, who was resting under the shade of a turtle shell which he had erected on sticks to shield him from the rays of the sun. sea-sho- ; re .' . .
