Show KXPONENT. WOMAN'S 170 ing, certainly pure religion is a necessary element for all to possess, particularly wo- men who are public speakers and it is of vital importance, to them in all the walks of life, Surely it would be wise for those wo men who aim to be public benefactors, to speak about the prevention ot those crimes that are wasting away tne people oi ims and other nations. They might save some from degradation by so doing. We often read the names and characters of womeiTof Bible fame; there is no doubt , but those women, in connection with .their Vanity and pride were among 11 the first nf the Kephites as a nation, by the wearing of tine and costly apparel and all mna oi jewels and rich1, ornaments. ,They. became stiffnecked and proud in their hearts toward the Lord "their God. Let us learn a lesson from thera- and cultivate the spirit of humility one towards the other,andnot look down with contempt on those who are not able to dress so well, for we should remem ber they might-bthe Lord's poor and that man looketh on the outward appearance but- the Lord looketh cii the heart. Thinking of these things will do us good, pur love for the Gospel will be strengthened and fortified and prepare us to pass through trials and afflictions which the writer knows some have an abundance of. We also know we shall get the .blessings" the Lord has promised by complying with His re quirements. One word,- - about the Salt Lake City Temple : that has just been dedi cated. Ivvas privileged in going to see it myself. It looked so grand and beautiful, and oh! what a glorious influence I felt. It was so peaceful and holy that I almost lost myself in my thoughts. In thinking of the goodness of God in permiting me to come forth in this: gospel dispensation and- to be made a recipient of such glorious blessings as there are to be obtained in the . - e - tiou and death for .their religion ;andr it of gives one the horrors to read the history ,: that time. .' It is true that some of the Mormon women of this Gospel dispensation have been tried, to the very heart's core for their ' , - . prosecution. I hey have made ana are still making a historv for themselves that wilL astonish future generations. We ako readx the characters ot thousands ot rvepnite women who were brave and noble in their day. Where can we read of more nobility of soul in women than can be found in Jthe Book of Mormon, especially in the; Book of Tm twrt Almo Jti iht aTrr rtf TTM'i rl i r thousand sons or striplings, as lie' chose to call them, who were so full of the spirit of faith, implanted in their bosoms by their mothers.

I know I will as far as I have the ability. We know of the past but do not: know of the future, or what a day may bring forth; the American motto is, "In time of peace prepare for war." We read considerable about the beauty of the Nephite women, it consisted mostly in the workmanship of their own hands, in inaking and wearing their own apparel. What a pity they did not continue to do so. Yes,we read of mothers of kings doing it. I do not know what some of our royal mothers would have to say, nowadays, about spinning and weaving ciothfor their royal sons to wear, we know the pioneer women of Utah did it and were glad to get the material to do it with; I know I was and if we did not have kings to wear it, wre had prophets and sons of What a glorious time of prophets. religious freedom it was "then" "wheflTwe cloth. worshiped the Lord in home-mad- e I wish i was made now and worn by some of the sisters of our Church! I think there would be more humility of heart and 'less partiality shown through the love of dress.
