six or eight thousand lies pie and probably threOflha ot them have com from the distant nations or the eaih to these Mountpin vale and theme are lho Principles that we taught them that they should ICcelve 11 knowledge 01 tills workl they should recehe the I1cly Ghost that would testify to them or the truth or the saying or thebo 1ldera that they had authority 10 administer the ordinances or

came dawn and talked with Ills people the sons and daughters or God as Ile dll In former days Why do you reach thehe principles and by do i ou Sit here Instead or repairing to I your homes anti declaring that IOU I never received tiny such aIln test many as was promised YOUT I think II hl1nger came to me ua Eldels now go 10 the nations anti tealllled 10 me that they had aUlhol Iy 10 promise that tile Italy Ghost would rest upon me after repenllag ot my Ins forballng them said 1 Ioey IlIg their mebage and I did nol receive re-ceive any extraordinary or miraculous manifestations I certainly would nol leave my friends Country and home uo thousands und thousands have done But It Is a fact that I om speaking to thousands here that have rom Irom long distances from many nations of the earth that are here and have been here for years and yeala why la It they do not rise UI and deny that they or their friends uv < 1 received this testimony In these verses that I have read In your hearing It Is declared that the Son or God appeared In the r Klrlland TempI xlyello yor ago and Spoke thereto there-to His friends Venis ago on my Palestine tour I via is one day upon the Mount ot Olives hero Jesus lift the earth and as celldd to Ills Tuther witnessed by leraonatbl1t were there present and I did not doubt that I was I1t Ibo place where 118 I read In the Te stamentT that Jesus took ilia departure from While I looked around and gazed about I believed that I was thee at that place I believed that Jesus did actually take farewell of the world and go to His father because certain cer-tain Individuals say and did make a declaration that that was the fact Now I did not see these persons that testified to this extracrill nary occurrence occur-rence I aw1O such Persons because It was over eighteen hundred Years ago that this extraordinary circumstance occurred Hut this thai I have been leading In jour hearing occurred In this Ivan I Ivan personally acquainted wllh the parties who saw this wonder fur aanlfestatlonlntlmnlely I1C Iualnled With JosephSmlll1 and Oliver Cowdery I was acquainted With Joseph Smith for years And I know Brother Oliver Cowdery to have been n goodman good-man honorable honest and truthful J although years after this Oliver Cow dery left the Church for a while He I became proud and exalted and left Ihe Church but the spirit and the tea limon never left him and after auf I fering the nllU < lIons of the Lord he repented and was very glad to comeback come-back Into the Church and ho got back Just In time ku go Into the other world and that Is just about the whole of It so far as Oliver Coivdery was concerned con-cerned Well novvthese things are worthy the attention of the Latterday Saints and When we lake Ibm Into consideration and bring them home to our understanding under-standing what follows Why that we should be the best people that God has upon the earth and far better than nor other The Lord ham given us a Irophet to give counsels In reference to that which pertains to the general Interests of the Latterday Saint can tlnuallj nod He baa blessed him abundantly There Is not one that Inn dispute the honey and integrity ot Brother Vllfot Woodruff ouVrres Ident Vo know him lean and years he has been testifying of these things of Which I have been speaking and he ayo ho knows them he says he understands them

decided as con enient by nil concerned to change train the old branch oince to larger and more suitable quarters After pome searching the missionaries found rooms which were satisfactory The proprlelor hesllated some at first about letllng Mormons move Inlo his house as there were several families occupyIng occupy-Ing others parts of the building and he did not know how they would like It However he concluded It would do no harm to try them Well the moving in wan followed by a meeting together of the very Indignant tenant with u view of seeing what should be done to resent the intrusion of such unwelcome ndirhbors But ntter having been In pension 11 Short time the little convention 1 conven-tion adjourned without having decided on anything more serious than that they would bo one In ostracising from their company and fronting with silent contempt those Mormons For nwhlle they did not even look leone le-one speak hut this did not seem tat affect the mlslonnrle t-at ill they treated their neighbors wllh civility nnd ml n clod their own business Thus their Indignant friends gradually be nan 10 think that those Mormon were not I call ao und I1S they Supposed them to he Thin thonghl was followed by a Salutation on mllnnnd ao It went on a little longer Hut In this case as In 01 others a climax Was reached II came about In this way Ono quiet arternoon we were ntlrael hy Some what Intel sounds proceeding from the back tied l Imagine our surprise when on opening the door we beheld two ot the main Promoters at the antiMormon reeling arrayed in a battle of words which grew warmer und warmer till one of the contestants loudly accused the other part of relating the fifth ommandnCnt This caused retaliation Soon after this occurrence we receive a call from the landlord who asked our opinion about the matter and said It we thought II proper ho would have them move Such things auld he were nol nt for respectable folks to witness The other people look great pains to Inllle llr missionaries no range r those Mormons In and explain that they did not Wish lla to have a misunderstanding about the affair for they knew that we were not accustomed ac-customed to see such things elc etc And now we are wanted quite often The property owner says Those Mormon Mor-mon missionaries are the best people have In my house PARLEY P JENSON |
