I 1 shall be able to say may very little this conference e e my MX lungs are in aa such a a st iiii ate that as soon as I 1 bilk ilk ion long enough to entertain 4 co UZI aaion they severely iwick JW jaae I 1 have a few w tends texts to give to the bre brethren theeo who may speak upon bome boine of od the items I 1 wish tu be laid before this conference mee for your contemplation the first I 1 have hava noted is a question shall we commence to build a temple next spring in order that we may receive receive ow ous w endowments more maxe fully that we ee do not give all the endowments neither can we leg legally rally until we I 1 e builds bu ld a temple A again gal i those parts that are already given and will he be given give n i in in the place that we at present use will be given ovey again in the temple e when it is finished the endowments we now give I 1 are given merely hy by p permission ar mission as we have not a house in which to officiate in these ordinances of salvation that is legal though we have got a comfortable place which we TOB have dedic dedicated atod to the lord and the brethren who go therein therea know and can bear testimony whether the spirit of the lord is there or not the next thing I 1 present is we want workmen vaia masons to erect a wall around the temple block we wish to have a wall to secure the block that when we commence the temple we shall not be under the necessity of being thronged thron ged and overrun fay by spectators A portion of the wall on the north side ii is already built of stone and rises about four feet above the surface of the earth and we anticipate i spate placing about 10 feet of anoble work upon feat th atthe the whole to be crowned with a picket fence of albet making the entire wall about 20 feet high above the ground gromad tile the item or text is we want families to lo go 50 ito ao iron county where we expect to manufacture iron I 1 will isay eay for the consolation of those who love money ey I 1 and feel as though they cannot do without mat i its s soon as these iron irn works tare are io in operation that thai will be a we also want IN families to go to millard county I 1 that is the intended seat of govern government nent for this Ter territory Atory it is a beautiful valley and one of the biest we have yet gefded gelded the next t that hat I 1 will notices notice is we want some 20 musio Baries to travel through these settlements one hundred have already been appointed to jo go into iato ah xh 11 the world aud and the number mev may 1 be swelled a little more premi previous eus to the departure of that par part t of the mission that its is to proceed south we think those brethren whom we shall appoint I 1 to travel at I 1 horrig home can be as an taefel here hem as in any part part of tle L world to instruct comfort and build up the saints in the most holy laith faith I 1 the next tuni have bave noted may perhaps be to some a novelty what was said here easl sabbath
