' ray mind, "If you love rae feed my sheep." God has truly given us Shepherds of His own choosing that have fed us the bread of Eternal life these many years, and through our many trials God has not forsaken us. Our confidence in Him should not be shaken. Let us search the scriptures, and also words given direct to cheer the many lonely and weary ones whose souls need consolation; for by so doing our lives are sweetened with the honey of -e -- truth; the sun through air gathering clouds of persecution, to give light to our path, for Father has made it so simple and plain. The world, yes, the saints, oft make mistakes and. seek to climb rugged paths that do not result in their best good, we need strength and wisdom every day and hour to be given us,to keep in sight ' , the star of peace. 1 am here in the great north west of Canada, and it is so quiet like, primitive Utah. My sea this land over of wander covered thoughts - that I came. Here in Canada I find the true and faithful, seeking to do the Father's will. Although no echo of steam rends the air, no pomp or splendor-gliste- ns toailtire the attention of old or young. The love that adorns saints and happir fies stimulates to action, there must be a variety and here are the toils of life and the same kind that is met with in new, countries; there is but very little sickness deaths in 3 years; there is one very sick brother now, through an accident was thrown into a stream of water and took cold. To the sisters throughout the world let us be true to ourselves and our God, remembering we are in the foldqfChrist, Jlis spirit has sanctioned our legal entry, and if we will feed the sheep, the Iambs will not go a stray, let us not loose sight of the truth, the Shepherd careth for the flock, forgetting not our every day duties.and caring for the redemption of the dead, that-w- e may lay up treasures in heaven.

Isaiah says the daughters of Zion shall be polished after the similitude of a palace, and this will be brought abouf by all doing their duty, and may air have the gift of wisdom with power to over come that we may have faith to feed the " flocks that they faint not.

In this quiet nook my health is improving and thus I feel to labor and encourage others to. walk in the path given us by the organizations so complete.
