While at meeting Sunday some remarks were made about the young men and women attending the Theological class taught j in the basemen! o! the Tubern cle ev-' ev-' ery Sabbath morning at 9 (clock. Saving b; en somewhat through the mill 1 will venture to gues?: that those of our yrung elders who attend this class for fifty-two weeks, will not tind themselvts in the same predicament, pre-dicament, that I did once in Europe, when called upon to delend the principles prin-ciples ot our holy religiou and adduce proofs in defence of the same. Now if we will take a little pains to treasure treas-ure up the book, chapter and verse, we shall not find ourselves looking for something to say but we shall be aide to bring th knockdown arguments and clinch them by all the proofs necessary, ne-cessary, from the Bible, Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants Cov-enants and Journal ot Discourses as well as other Church works and Histories His-tories that are brought to bear as prools in behalf of the religion that G.id bus established through his servant ser-vant the prophet Joseph Smith. The spirit or the Lord resting upotr his servants loosens their tongues and 1 gives them words to- their utmost astonishDi.-nt. and j( we b.tve 1Mtry ... ;cort.er of our hn'.ds filled vvi-h some-j some-j tiling valuable, in thu ve moment .
