Baptized July 14th, 1849. Was the mother of 11 children 8 of whom are now living: deceased was a faithful member of the' Relief Society and died a true Latter-da- y Saint. Another faithful Saint has been called from this world of care and sorrow to share in the joy, blessings, and enjoy the society of the jut made perfect by suffering. On the 18th of May, at her residence in the 4th Ward, Provo, Booth, wife of Bishop J. E. Booth, and daughter of George P. and Edith Billings, after an illness of three weeks, passed away from earth to her eternal home. The funeral services were conducted at the Prevo meeting house, May 20th. Mrs. Booth was born March 12, 18u2, in Provo. Sister Hannah will be mjped from the ranks of those who are patiently striving to labor for the advancement of God's kingdom on .the earth. She held the dual offices of Counselor to the Y. L. M. I. A. and President of the 1th Ward Primary Association for several years. During the past year she has faithfully discharged the duties of a school teacher In the Ward. She accepted the position aB she did all other responsibilities from a sense them falthfullj and humbly. That her labors were appreciated, was made manifest by the loving attentions of friends, and the groups of anxious little faces which came during her Illness to enquire how their dear teacher was. Truly has it been aid of her, "She served the Lord in soberness and purity,vand was a true, devoted, Joving wife and friend; her faithfulness can only be appreciated now that she is beyond all earthly cures. O, what a satisfaction it is when we see a Saint go to rest,surrounded by husband, parents, relatives and friends, who watch the departing spirit with the knowledge that "tho loved one" has lived to merit all the blessings which mortals are entitled to, who have lived in accordance with all of the commandments given to the Saints. Never was the divine principle of Celestial Marriage more honored than by Sister h ssuo. RELIEF SOCIETY REPORT. 18S1.

The subjects of hygiene and physiology of the human system must be more .generally understood ere that prOgr esfTCan be made in race and condition which is exited will be the result of a higher education. The' young ladies and mothers would do well to devote some time and means to acquire knowledge upon these subjects and not leave It to the physicians alone. It is an imperative duty that every woman should know something concerning the forces and attributes of her owu being.
