PRESIDENT JOHN R. WINDEK. 'resident Winder was not only a pioneer because of coming early in the fifties to this valley,, .but in many lir.es of business and affairs in general, certainly one of the most active, earnest and energetic men in the Sound in doctrine, and conscienChurch. tious in principle, fatherly to the' young men in the relations of advice and employment, all around enterprising and prudent wedded life. in whatever he advised or undertook to do, Our sympathy goes out to this dear, and he engaged in many enterprises, and lonely wife bereft of his solicitude and carried them forward with signal success.

But President Winder has gone after weeks suffering, hovering as it were between life - and death, he passed peacefully over to the "other side," out of our sight, and we shall see his pleasant smile no more; until we too may be called home, to join that innumerable company who have gone before. .

The scriptnral saying-t- o der one's own vine and fig tree is significant .strictly speaking. The counsel given and the principles inculcated and acted upon by Brigham Young in the settlement of these valleys was calculated to create happiness and a responsibility praiseworthy and beneficial to human character. That every family should have a piece of ground, a city lot, sufficient for building a suitable home and a garden spot and orchard. This policy was carried out for rome years, not only was this wise and expedient but profitable as well, and the city was beautiful and attractive, artistically so in the best sense. The great authors and statesnen in the past, many of them have been men who were fond of occupation, one may say, lor relaxation perhaps, but positively enjoyed it; it is well known that Gladstone, one of the greatest statesmen of England,, was noted for felling trees. We as aTpeople profess to believe in the gospel of work, and in short it is taught in theScripJturesand the Doctrine and therefore we must believe in farms and inheritances and in owning land; we all know how frequently the Lord has spoken to His people in different ages of the world upon the subject of inheritances. It is not possible in a short article to go into details on this subject but to sound a warning note to mothers in reference to teaching the children in the home, : that farming is the one occupation and that in which men can reallv fee! the most independent, and that farmers are gentle- wcu. it 13. easy to reca hfl nnnnflfl nf Brigham Young and others on this subject, especially when the mines began M be opened here in the West, and how he urged the people to stay on their farms instead of running after gold dust.
