Strange, $ inhis land of religious liberty where churches anil denominations of all kinds and all beliefs are allowed perfect freedom, that the property of the Mormon Church should be seized upon.. It can.-nobe because of the immense wealth, if so the Rcrman Catholic and Episcopal Church would be subjected to the same indignity. The Church property of the Mormons has been accumulated from the tithes and offerings oMhe people who actually beHeve in the literal translation of that scripture which says, ''bring your tithes and your offerings into the storehouse of the Lord and see if I will. not pour you out a blessing that there 'shall not be room to receive it." And for these Saints persecuted. :3ut things are the Latter-daythey and their enemiesare all in the hands of one who sees not as man sees and whose ways are not as man's ways, and lie wiil surely punish those who oppress. theiinnocent, the widow and the orphan, for whom,, and other laudable purposes, these tithes and offerings were given. The Lord will pour out of His indignation upon the wicked as He has said and His hand will not be stayed when His judgements begin. Already strifes and uprisings and riots and threatenings are heard, and it would be well to heed the warnings contained in the word of to this people and be prepared for the evil day which is just at hand. TRIAL: The remarkable occurrences taking place here day after day sound a note of warning, to ail who are not wide awake in the performance of every dutv to renew their "diligence, and be more earnest, more prayerful and watchfnl than ever and take heed to their ways, that they may be able to endure the days of trial that are now just at the doors. They have been talked of and prophesied of in public and in private, these days of testing, and that but few would be able to endure and yet the actual circumstances that would bring about these peculiar experiences were not understood in the least. Whoever thought Congress would have passed such unprecedented laws and strenuous measures, as have been passed by that body without any,or very little opposition, against the' Mormon people, and enforced rigorously and although the enforcement of these cruel and harsh, measures has brought so much hardship it does noi seem to satisfy the craving desires of the enemies of .the Saints, but the officers of the" government seem more and more anxious to brin severe and more cruel hardships upon the people. So long as they submit patiently, instead of think-- , ing "it is enough." they are ready to heap more persecution and prosecution, and make the burden heavier and more grievous to be borne.

Whether the matter will end there remains for the future to determine. It is the general opinion of the most conservative people, that there will be serious difficulty yet with this socialistic element, if not in Chicago in other cities further east. They are" dangerous every-n the dark, not eshere, working i n tablishing themselves openly, but in various ways creating discord and strife' between the employer and the employed. Sowing the seeds of disunion and strife where before confidence existed; and making such; an intricate network of comxlica- tionsas will puzzle the nation much more, and be far more difficult to handle and to unravel than the'"Mormqn"question which the goveriment considers such a knotty problem. "Mormonism" has brought into the country an element of industry and enterprise, a people who believe in labor, and who discountenance emphatically every .tendency to discord and strife, or opposition to peace and- - good government. It is , deplorable indeed to think that such secret combinations against the peace and prosperity of the American people, should exist and find followers in the midst of the great cities of the United States. And the end is not yet. What developments of this nature and disturbances may arise no one knows, but therfulfillment of the predictions of ancient and modern prophets should warn the nationsx everywhere to prepare for the events that ate to herald in the coming of the Son of Man upon the earth. ad- Shp had.J we n ifvf.1 pninvpn J J cicrht- fhp "t'V seeing and association with friends here whom VioH mtt nnA fnrmA o fr?rir1cnlr frtr ?r tVio east, notwithstanding they were Mormons.

Sister: Not being supplied with blanks to forward you a correct report of our. work in this of part the 7 vineyard we are under the necessity of writing you the condition of the Relief Societies of these ' islands, which we are pleased to say speak favorably for themselves at present. There are 22 societies in all, in which there are 514 members. Meetings are generally held weekly, working and testimony meetings alternately. The Societies of tnis island are far in advance of those on the other islands owing to , our direct "and constant la bor among them, as you are doubtless aware that these poor natives when left by themselves,. soon tall into slothfulness and sin. We are laboring as energetically as possible to introduce all kinds of useful work among them, And in order to |
