In the ca&e before us we are called to mourn the .luKs of two, children taken from Brother and 'Sister Wheeler, we may 'say aa suddenly and, in one sense of the word,' as miraculously, as. were tne sous and daughters of Job.

It is difficult to bring the matter home to our own hearts unless we have been called to pass through similar affliction and sorrow. At the' same time there is no doubt that we all sympathize with our friends when called to pass th rough trials and bereavement.- And I will here say to Brother and bister 3E J Wheeler, and to all my friends, there are a great many worse things in this world than the case we axe ' now called to mourn. Our children are taken away from us in Infancy and childhood, and they are taken away as Job's were, in one sense of the word, of Provithrough' the dispensations us severe trials. causing dence, to ah outfit This we will acknowledge; but, KverylKxl y should treat themselves as have already said, there are many I of the liandsom?, serviceable, and cheap Boots and Sqoks things in this world that are far more painful and afflicting than to Town Clock Store, have our made the .

We are all burying them. , I. have buried one-thiof. the children that have been given unto me. I have had some thirty children born to me, and ten of them are buried, all of them young. The question knay. arise witli me ana with you h'Why has the Lord taken away toy Children?" But that is not for tne to tell, because I do not know: It is In the hands of the Lord, and it has been so from the creation of the world all the way down. Children are taken away In their ingo to the fancy, -and they world. They come here and spirit fulfil the object of their coming, that is, " they tabernacle in the flesh. They irome to receive a probation and au jinhejitance on the eafth;. they ob- tain a uouy or tabernacle, anq that tabernacle will be preserved for and in the morning of tbe them, sua bodies resurrection the spirits twill: be reunited, and as here we find Children of various aces In a family, from the infant at the mother's breast to manhood, so Iwlll It be In the family organiza tion in the celestial world. Our children will be restored to us as they-arlaid down If we, their parents, keep the faith and .prove ourselves worthy to obtain, eternal life; and if we do not so prove our-selour children will still be preserved, and will inherit celestial glory: This is my view in regard to all Infants who die,' whether they are born to Jew or Gentile, righteous or wicked. They come from their eternal father and their eternal mother unto whom they were born in the eternal world, and they will be restored to their eternal parentage; and all parents who "have received children here according to the order of' God and the holy priesthood, no matter in what; age they may have lived, will- - claim those children in the morning of the resurrection, and they will be givea unto them and they Will grace their family 'organizations In the celestial world.. moon aoroEO - j rd ve ! : With, regard to the future state of thote who die la Infancy I do not feci authorized to say much. Theroboa been a great deal of theory, and many Views have been expresecd on this an! jeer, bet there are ut many uuags conncetea wua u wines Lord has probably sever revealed to any of tbe prophets or patriarchs who ever appeared on the earth. There are some things which have not boen revealed to man, bat are held in the bosom of God oar Father, and It may be that the conditio n after death of those who die la infancy is among the things which JGod has never revealed; but it is aufllclent for me to know that oar children are tared, and that if we onrtelTea keep tbe faith sod do our duty before the Lord, if we keep the celestial law, we shall pe preserved by that law, and our children will be gtren tin to us there, as they have been given here in this world of sorrow, affliction, pain and distress. It hs no doubt been a marrel many time, in the minds of men and women, why God ever phteed men and women ia such a wo Id aa this, why he causes his children to pass throoeb sorrow and affliction here In the body. The Lord has revealed something to ns concern lDg this matter, and we have learned this thing Is enough about it to know that neeescarv. We know that we are created In the image of God, both male and female; and whoeTer goes back Into tbe presence of Ood onr eternal Father, will And that he Is a noble man, a noble God, tabernacled Id ft form similar to ours, for we are created after his own image; they will also learn that he has placed us here that we may pus through a state of probation and. experience, the ssmd aa he himself did ia lus day of mortality. And time and again it has been revealed in the of God given to onr day, as well aa la the Bible and Book Of Mormon, that those things are necesaary. in order to en able ns to comprehend good and evil, and to be prepared.for glory and blesslnga when we reccWe them. As thq Apostli argaca very strongly ia the Book of Mormon If we never taste the bitter how wiU we. know how to eompreboad the street f If we never, partake of pa la bow can we prize ease? And IX we never pass through affliction how can we comprehend glory, exaltation and eternal blessings?" The Lord has said oneeralag Jesns-tha- t bo dc&ce acred be ow all things that be might rise above all things ana comprehend all things No mas aeecended lower than the Savior of the ble,cradled la a manger, he travelled from there to thecross through snfferiDgmlnpled with b.ood to a throne of grace; and ia ad Ms Ufe there was nothing of aa earthly nature that teemed to be worth possessing. Ilia whole Ufe .was passed in povaffliction, laoor; erty, suffering, pain,-prayer, tnouruing and sorrow, until 'he gave Bp the ghost ea the cross. Still he and the Redeemer was God's firstborn son h of the woria. r . Oght. Kb asked why the Lord suffered his son to coma here and to live sad die as he did.

It bat a little time until will be to ns: In a littlo time they Brother and "lore Wheeler will again have the loss they bow mourn. With regard to the growth, glory or exaltation of childrea la the life to come Ood haa not revealed anything on that abject to me, either about your children, mine or any bod j else's, any further than we know they are saved, i And I feel that we have to put out trust in the Lord la these ailiicUons, we have to lean upon his arm and to. look to him for comfort and conaolatloa. We do not mourn under these afflictions as those who have no hope; we do not mourn the loss of oar children as though we were never going to se them aaln, because we know betters The Lord haa tautht us better, and so has the gospel; tbe revelaUons of Jesus Christ have shown us that they wiU lie restored .to. ns in the resurrection of tbe last. And J will here say with regard to the gospel of Christ that it is one of tbe greatest mysteries under the heavens te me why there 'are so few of the human ' tardily; whether In the Christian, ragan or Jewish world, who take any interest in eternal tuUrgs, In the tta'e of man after death. . I f we read the Bible we learn that Noah, Oiled with revelation and with the so his he labored a eospel hundred and hand, although con Id not get yeats, a solitary soultwenty own his family to eo with film forexcept salvation It was similar in the Says of tbe patriarchs and prophets, and if wo come down to tbe days of Christ, we find that his testimony waa rejected by the tabbies, high priests and the great mate of the people, and he chose for his apostles twelve poor fishermen, and they and very few of the people, comparatively ipeaklnjr, were all that received tbe teachings of Jesus and followed him through the regeneration; while the whole Jewish nation, with these few exceptions, weie ready to put their Shiloa to death, and he was the person upon whom tbe salvation of the whole bouse of Israel depended. It 1 Just so The great majority or the people reject the words of life anr! salvaUou which are proclaimed unto them. God, iu these last days, revealed the gospel of Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith by the teachings of angels; out of heaven, and Its principles are made known to the world, and there has never been a congregation or Gentiles, from that day to this, to whom the elders of Israel have borne record of .these things, t but what the Spirit of God has also borne record of the truth of their tcsUmony; and herein lies the condemnation of this: generation, for "light has come into tho world, bat men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil." I ask, in the name of God and humanity, why is it that Intelligent beings, wade in the Imageof God, take no Interest in their condition after death? - They know they are going to die, and, If they nave, any sense or reflection, they know thy will live: after the death of their mortal bodies; still men will sell thtlr eternal interest for money, for a few hundred or a few thousand dollars' tbey will sell all the Interest they have ia tbe eternal world; ln fact they take no interest ln their eternal welfare. - Their cry "tilre me gold, allvcr and- - honors the few years I spend here and eternal life may go where it pleases, 1 bare no interest in that ' I ask again, Why is it that tbe human family take no; interest in these things? AVo have prnsbed over forty years. ,1 have been engaged In that work over that time,' and have proclaimed the wordsof eternal life to million sofpeoplcand have travelled more than a hundred thousand miles ln ao doing, and, as tho prophet has sali, I have found one of a family and two cf a city who have had eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to understand, and they baTo been gathered up from the various nations of the earth Into tbe mountains ef Israel,and here we have a little handful of people, oat of the twelve hundred.. million who dwell upon the earth, who feel an Interest In building up the Zlon and Kingdom ef God upon the earth, and who are desirous of being saved in that kingdom." . ' Now I would rather be boor aU the days or my life, I worVld rather go through poverty and alllictkm It matters not how severe, even to the sacrifice ef my own life, than lose salvation and eternal life, because I have faith In It; and always had. 1 always have had faith hi the Bible and In the revelations of God since I iwaa a boy like these sitting oa these seats, eight or ten years old, when I went to the .Presbyterian Sunday school and read about Jesus Christ. I believed then that ho was the Saviour of the t world i I believed that the Qld and New Testament was true. ( be'What would it profit a mas lieve It y. to gala the whale woria ana lose nia own soul? What will a man give in exchange for bis soul? When be comes Into the presence of God he can't buy it. This is tbe position of the world. There is none of us going to Eve but a little while; we snail all pass away soon, ana onr eternal deaUnr depends n pen tbe rew days, weeks, months or years that we speed here la the flesh. Ik yon not think It will pay a man or a woman to keep the commandments of God? - It will, and when we enjoy the holy Spirit, when we are trying tq live oar religion here oa the earth, wc are tbe happiest people oa God's footstool, no matter what our eircumatanccs may be. 1 do not care whether we are rich or poor, whether In happiness of affliction,! a man is living his religion and enjoys the favor aad Bnni or uoa, ji makes no. ainorenco to him what takes place oa the earth.

I do not believe that the day is very far distant when the revelations which God has given concerning the last daya will have their fulfilment. I believe there are many children now living in the moan tains of Israel who will never taste oil death,- that is, they will dwell on the earth at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. - I will acknowledge that there Is a great deal to be done, and the Lord has not revealed to man tbe day or the hoar, hat he has revealed the generation; and the fig trees are now patting forth their leaves In the eyes of all the nations, lndieaUng the near approach of the second coming or the Son of Man. - Jt is my faith that hundreds snd thousands of the children that have been given to as will be aUve In the flesh when Christ comes In the clouds of, heaven In power and great glory. The Lord will not di&appolut the Inhabitants of the earth In these last days; In regard to his second coming, any moss than he baa with regard to other gaeat events and dispensations. We live la a very importaift ace and generation we live In the day and lime when God has set his band to fulhla measure of prophecy and revelation to man, la tbe great dlspeusaUoa of all dispensations.
