SALT LAKE CITY, JUNE . 1, 1880. THE BIRTHDAY OF BRIG HAM YOUNG. June, flowery June, the month of roses and of bloom. The first day of this pleasant month should be specially endeared to this people, being the anniversary of the birth of their beloved prophet and illustrious, former leader Brigham Young, ills name will be held in honored remembrance down to the latest generation, associated with the peculiar exigencies of the Saints in the mobbings and drivings they have fcufrorh In the exodus from Nauvoo heenaeted well the part of a modern Moses, leading this people out from bondage and . ana pioneering them into inv iieu and the Great American Desert, founding the a UtaKi of renwWabIenroun6ryo?" Territory wliich the half is not yet known; and whose future history will nodoubt develop that which will reflect greater glory upon its founders, both mcji and women, than has as yet been been accorded to them. They may yet be recognized, as the London Times once called them, "a naop-pre5f- tion of heroes." The memory of this heroic man should lekem fresh in the hearts of the children now crowing up in Zion. They should become acquainted with his great and strong characteristics, that were so apparent to all who knew him,even those who. did not believe in the principles he had embraced, and to which he devoted his life, and his energies. His determination, his untiring zeal, his great forethought and caution, were H ' brought to lear with admirable forc m the life. Mork in which he so, aaently succeeded. He jososNoa the true genius of a man born to lead, and was therefore a fit instrument in the hands of the Almighty to bring his people up into the valleys of the mountains, that they might there raine an ensign to the nations ac- ording to the Prophet Isaiah. The Saints will ever cherish his memand teach' their children to em oryulate his greatness. President Young always had something practical to Fay to mothers, in regard to their'lifeand health, and the care and training of their children. Hq seemed to enter 4nto the smallest details of every day life and appreciate trifles as perfectly as the greater and more important questions with which he had to deal. He possessed the greatest versatility and adaptability of character of any man we have ever known. Ho was greatly and sinbeloved cerely by the Saints, and as strongly hated by his enemies, or the opposers of the work in which be was ardently and devoutly interested and earnestly engaged. Blessed be the memory of this great, good and wise man. Let us all strive to follow.,! n the path he trod, and be as true to the principles of salvation, and aa zealous to obey them, unto death as he was. ing the course the moav complete ever offered to musical students, and guaranteeing the greats est advancement m ine snoi time.
