It has been often remarked that there is too much talking among women, but in the ssity for ""present ay ihe re seems it. Mfo do wore and talk lets," is another favorite phrase of many, but to add works to preachlDg is better. Women have many things' to do and it is positively necessary to do a vast amount of talking, as well as brain, and head work. Executive ability is in good demand, but there is hardly a premium ; , tobenecf now-a-day- for it. s, "' ' i Talk to the purpose is perhaps applicable, but talking of gome sort has evidently got to be done; and as men hare not time to do all the talking, women must do some of it. "In season and out of season, in tlfe house and by the way,"In every place where good can be accomplished, women should he willing to bring into requisition all the talents they possess to bring about the good Jesuits for which they are laboring. It will not do to be too sensitive to criticism; it is verv evident there is some real work accomplished by women or the public would not be making such a noise about the woman cause. Wherever any material good is effected there is always opposition. The work now being done among women is something really wonderful, and while the real benefit Js apparent there is little need to care for what VMadamo Grandy" says. Above all. should the earth the Latlrday-Saint- s bo earnest and. zealous, in seasjn and out of season, they have the greatest purpose in laboring. To lay a sure foundation for themselves and children, that they may not be left without resources when the judgments of God shall come upon the nations and when Babylon shall fall. "There is no danger of saying or doing too much in a good cause, started in the right direction. The women of Utah aro moving forward to establish and sustain every department of home industry, manufacture and improvement, that is, or can bo made practicable for women. They not only talk, but work, and add faith lo works; and may God also add His blessing to every earnest endeavor. wq-inenj- on TWO DAYS MEETING AT ST.
