Show WELCOME HOME AGAIN. Apostle Moses Thatcher reached Logan on Wednesday evening last, having been absent from our midst nearly a year on his mission to Mexico. The brass band and a number of friends met him at the depot. He reached Salt Lake on Sunday last, and remained there till Wednesday. He was not feeling in the best of health, doubtless owing to fatigue. In common with thousands of Saints in this Stake, we rejoice once more to have Brother Thatcher in our midst. His labors lay in a hard field, and were fraught with many trials, but they have resulted in ?? opening up of the work of the gospel in that country, under the authority and seal of the Apostleship, according to the order of this dispensation, and in conjunction with his fellow laborers, Elder Thatcher has accomplished a great and most excellent work in Mexico, in sowing seed in the form of both the spoken and written word, which must and will in future bring forth fruit an hundred fold. But after the close of these labors we are glad to say welcome, thrice welcome home again! |
