And second- ly, how is the fact to bo demonstrated? Thirdly, is it to be determined by the civil powers, No Wonder people are becoming confused on the subject, for confusion reigns supreme, and if dissolution is not the result, of haranguing for reformation and or by military, force? , why then amendment, constitutionally, ' is ica surely exceptionally lucky.

The wisest arid shrewdest of political men express themselves, that when the truth is ascertai ned --about-the election, then something may be foretold in e regard - to the work which, will come the House of Congress tho ensuing season; but when the scale will turn or what may yet transpire, with all the party feeling that now pervades the publhrmind still remains inexplicable. One thing is apparent to those whoso minds are opened to the light of truth, and that is that. the adversary is striving for mastery in the hearts of the children of men, that instead of peac, he will, If possible bring war, and as a natural consequence of war, famine, pestilence and plague. If this nation would receive the testimony of the servants of God many of the difficulties might be avoided; but they are wise In their own conceit and hardened in their hearls,and as kings and rulers of nations refuged to listen in ancient times, so do they now reject that which would bring them prosperity and happiness. But Babylon must fall, and everything seems conspiring to bring about the fulfillment of the prophecies quickly. Already are nations of the greatest power and strength preparing for war and ultimately a wacin. which all nations will become engaged will be the result. In contemplation of these fearful occurrences the saints should be wise ... and seek more than ever for the spirit of Cited to direct them, that they may indeed become not only saviors of individuals, but assist in the protection of the rights and privileges of nabe-for- tions. i r ' It may seem to our readers that we have Wandered from the subject, but a question so momentous in its issues may admit of elaborate discussing. It has been advised by those who are anxious to assist In arriving at the adjudication of the great question now pending, that caution and quiet would be the better part of valor" ths both parties are weakening their own side by making , charges of dishonest dealings; that posivive proofs are-- the only real specific. If these wise men can succeed in lulling the great political tumult and clamor, we hope it may not prove the precursor of a tremendous national thunder-bo- lt that will split asunder the two opposing parties, so effectually thatit will Ikj impossible to cement them together again, Without,1 ai brother Heber C.

At the General Retrenchment Meeting, Fourteenth Ward Assembly Rooms, Sat, Nov. 25, Elder Junius F. Wellsrecently returned from a mission to the United States, addressed the assembly briefly.-H- e expressed" great joy at the work In progress among the sisters, and con trated. their, ideas, ieelings and knowledge of the future, with the women of the world. He manifested great interest, in v the Woman's Book, believing it would open the eyes of an enlightened class of society: to the facts in regard t3 the motives by which :the sisters were . .. actuated. ;, . The women of Utah have taken measures to secure the publication of a book which will combine in one volume, the lives and testimo-nie- s of the sisters a& far as possible, from the time of the rise of the church in KirUapoTttp to the present day. Such arrangements have been made as will ensure to every sister ample returns for' all' tridney invested either in her own name, or In oallnectfoh, With a Relief Society. It is expected thiff book will reach many places, homes and' Individuals where the doctrines of the Latter-dain whatSaint, ever form presented, would not be! toTerated; for that reason it will do tho mbsV'efncient preaching to a cerWfri las3oftpeoptel,n(me y 1 enthusiasm upon 'this subject 1 w'o-utc- l ; not be In ."forwarding tnfs laudable amigs to iisei work.
