Remarks by Eider Milo Andrus Never In a life's experience.had been the feeling of inability to do justice to an occasion of so vast importance been experienced by the speaker; and never had a spirit seemed so akin to the one felt in Kirtland, at the dedication of the Temple, as at present. Exhorted the people to exert themselves to obtain the Spirit of God Where is the Illiterate boy who first started out in this grand march to heaven? He hope, if time was allowed him (the prophet), to visit earth, that he might visit the audiences of the Saints to day. The first.fourteen years were years of toil. The old, the middle-age- d, the youth, were not blamable for their Dlrlb, but all weje in placo. Alluded to the feast of the martyrs, which would be a glorious affair, isfied that, it cpnld be noised abroad that although the Saints of God had been driven and persecuted, yet fr6m now, henceforth and forever, that the kingdom of God should triumph. A; tribute to the martyrs, Joseph and 11 y rum, was given by the speaker. All nature is Inuntelievers ought to spired tho air is full of the power prophecy of God. The day was full of rejoicing. Opposi tion had followed the Church since the commencement But if h were different, the conviction would force itself upon the mind that this Church was as the creeds of the world. Exhorted all to remain true to the Gospel. Where does this mind thi3 intelligence go? To dust? No; it is part of dhinity part of the Eloheim. Intelligence is God j and may It double, treble, and increase ten thousand times in the next fifty years. Our course is onward, onward, upward, eternally upwardeternal forever. Closed with an invocation and blesing upon all the people ot God. Amen. Singing by the Swiss Choir, "We have thought of thy loving kindness." Song, "Make home beautiful" by A. S. W.

Fund indebtedness to the worthy poor, and donate one thousand cows and five thousand sheep, and recommend general relief to the needy. Remarks by Pres. McAllister Although weak in body, the spirit was full of rejoicing and solemnity. At times he had been wrought upon to speak harshly, but it was S the chiding8 of a very dear friend. The people had heard a sketch of Joseph Smith, his life and glorious death. A few words were added by the speaker to the remarks or Bro. Andrus in relation to Smith; a few items were added to Joseph the history of the martyrs.

DELIVERED AT ST, GEORGE TABERNACLE APRIL 6, 1880, BY SUSA YOUNp GATES. kingdom's fiftieth birthday The dullest eye lights up, the numbest heart is stirred with joy to greet this year of jubilee. O'er dark and jagged paths, the feet of those have trod who started out just fifty years ago. The shrinking flesh oft torn by cruel biiars. The breeding hands upheld to God for grace. Fierce missiles of invec-it- ve hate flung from all sides by Bigotry. Hark ! A shuddering horror leaps from heart to heart, as through the camps the news is spread of cold, fiendish murder. An almost worshiped prophet and a loved patriarch have sealed their everlasting faith upon the people's hearts,in dying for Christ's kingdom.' Mourn Israel! Weep daughters of Zion! Gloom shadows all, the very birdg refuse to sing, for wicked men have slain a man of God, have stained their hands with the blood of Christ's priesthood. But lift the darksome vail, oh saints and. onward take your way to the setting sun. The tiny wail ot murdered childhood, the. graves scooped out :with quivering jiagdsto lay the best beloved on cruel forec,jiiBoiL , The pillaged home, the smoking runi3,the reek, lag scenes of blood andj,carnage all mark tho progress of God's people to these lovely Christ's latter-d-ay I vales.

Tents, wagons, rude log huts, adobe houses arise on every hand; and soon the curling smoke of peace atealsfrom the lowly homes upon the desert air.' A chain.'of valleys is filled and re. deemed from north to south of our dear Territory.

The average "daily evaporation' registered by the Bengal instruments in October, is "two Inches." The amount of heat absorbed by the conversion of this amount of water daily, over so large an area as the Bay of Bengal Is enormous. "Roughly estimated," says Mr. Elliot, "it is equal to the continuous working power of 800,000 steam engines of 1,000 horse power." A simple calculation;will show that It suffices to rise aloft over 45,000 hours cubic feet of Tvater in twenty-fo- ur from every square mile of the bosom of the bay, and transport :it to the clouds which overhang it, When we extend the calcula tion from a single square mile to the area of this whole Indian gulf, the mind is lost in the effort to conceive the, fenrce which, in a day's time, can lift 50, 00(j,000 tons!
