Show The Meetings at Cohen. Bishop A. M. Musscr has courteously furnished fur-nished us.by request, the following cm cerning the meetings attended by the Presidency on Sunday ; The meet'ines at Ogden on Sundav were the best I ever a' tended at that place. The speakers Fiesident.-Vou'vS, Fiesident.-Vou'vS, Smith a-d Wells, and elders Taylor, Woodruff, i-nd B Young, jr., were very interesting and held the packed audience wi'h immovable attention at-tention President Young di-oured on some of the charade i-tics of a true penlleman. One was that no gentleman gentle-man would presume to take advantage of any business or other relations that might exist between himself and oth ers. to throw himself upon their fami lies; another was that no gemleman, knowing our rrejudice against the pop ular practice of lamiiiar intercourse between be-tween the ssxes would presume to seek in marriage the 'hand of any lady of our faith, without first proving his sincerity sin-cerity by taking a good long mission and in giving oilier subs'antial evidence of his iaith in the great latter-day wrk. He cautioned the cirzen-arainst cirzen-arainst exposing the.r cliildreu, ami especially their daughter-, to the vices and t -mptations of modern so called ' civiiiz-uion " In his afiernoon remarks he te ferred to the power and influence i hat some person-', as spiritual and me-nii-ric mediums, had over otlh-rs, and 'hat which a man in possession of the Holy Priesthood living his religion, had over all others. President Smith and the elders fol lowed in much the same stra n and gave rich and excellent instructions, palatable, if received, to both Saint and outsider. Elder Taylor dwelt par 'icularly and lucidly on the subjects o1' the Iord's supper, the atonement and the resurrection. Many strangers were present and all the settlements of Weber county were well represented. " Many could not get inside the Tabernacle. Altogether it was a dav long to be remembered by those who listened to and will treasure up the rich nstructions given. I heard one man say that President Young s remarks alone were worth a miliion dollars to the people of the county. |
