The Lord revealed that in the days of their poverty, when they could not creel a Temple, they might administer the ordinance of baptism for the dead in other places. Dut when they were iu a position to build a Temple where that ordinance properly should administered, lie required them to erect a House to His name, and unless they should build the House, a sufScient time being granted, they should be rejected a a Church, with their dead. Elder Smith read passages from the Book efDociriue uud Covenants in support of this, and also shoeing that when the Lord gave a commandment to His people, aud they went to work with all their hearts to fulfill the commandment, and their enemies came upon them and hindered them, He would require the work no more at Jjeir hands, but would visit wrath Mhd indignation upon their enemies who had so hindered them. The speaker went on to show that this was the lust dispfutttiiou, when a work had to bo performed for the benefit of the dead s well as the .iving, for it was the dispensation of the tuiiness of times, when U thing in Christ, both in the heavens' nj ;u ihe eartu, were to be Gathered in one. Whenever the Saints bad gone to work to build the Ibuse of the Lord, it seemed that the powers of darkness had Uiei all their venom to revent the work.

Without this spirit the words of the Elders would fall upon the ears of the people without penetrating their hearts. Some judged everything from a natural standpoint; but God required us to be a people of faith, not trying to accomplisti ins worK merely by our natural acquirements aud abilities, but by His power attained through faith. God required us to be a different people from all others, living by faith which makes things possible that appear impossible by natural means. Looking at polygamy lrom a natural standpoint it would seem impossible to live in it. But the testimony of those who had gone into it in faith was that though poor when they married a second or third or fourth wife God had opened their way and they were as vll able to to support the three or four wives and a dozen children as well as they once could support one wife and one child. "When a man said, "I have not means to take another wife." it showed a lack of faith; so if he could not go on a mission, or the Order of or enter into Enoch, or any other divine institution. As the ancient prophet said God never requireth anything of the children of men but he prepareth the way whereby they may accomplish it. It was just as necessary for us to obey the commandment npon celestial marriage as any Tlie natural man and woman other. could not endure it, but it could be honored and obeyed under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Q CANNON meetings were convened, to bring their Read the 8th chap, of the Book of Nephi, families with them, that all might hear Saints because they had failed to comply yi'h gome of the smallest requirements God had made of them. According to the revelations the time of the coming of Christ was near at hand ; but the people were not prepared for His advent. They lacked faith; they lacked purity of life, nobleness of purpose, holi ness of desires; and if they continued in this way, the Lord would separate the righteous from the wicked, and cut off the evil doers. The Lord wo Id not always forbear with those who had ma.4e covenant with Him. Paying tithing was only a small requirement; all the commandments of God must be kept; and though a man paid his tithing faith fully, if lie was impure in his life and unholy in his desires, salvation would not accrue to him tkrough paying tith ing. Hut it was necessary Jo u.ge this small requirement, that the Teuiple of God might be builtnd the ordinances administered for the dead. The spirit of Elijah was upon us, and the hearts of the children were being turned to the fathers ; and after we hud used all the means in our power to hunt up our gen ealogies, then we coula call upon the Lord, and, by the epirit of revelation obtain the necessary knowledge of our Elder Smith concluded by ancestors. exhorting all present to do their part in building the Temple, for he did not be lieve that the ordinances for the dead would le accepted much longer in the endowment bouse; also to put away cov- etousness, discord, pride, worldhness, and all evil, and live the life of Saints indeed. Ilyrum Choir fang the Anthem "The arta is the Lord s." d which contains an account of the visit of and catch the Jesus to the Nephites, after his crucifixion, and his administering of the sacrament, explaining its object and the proper manner of its administration. Elder Cannon said these sayings of Jesus embodied the most complete explanation of tie ordinance of the sacrament on record, and proceeded to show the importance of bat ordinance and the obligations to remember the Lord and keep 1 His commandments which we place ourselves under in partaking thereof. He touched upon the doctrine of sacrifice and tbe great sacrifice offered up in the atonement of Christ, nnd argued upon the necessity of our offering up the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit if we had done any wrong, also of going to those persons whom we might have injured or aggrieved and making the matter right with them before partaking of the Bacrament. The man that lived so as to partake of this holy ordinance worthily would never go into the dark, never fall away from the Church ef Christ. In consequence of not attending to this ordinance in the spirit thereof many of the Saints came under condemnation. They should have no hard feelings in their hearts and should repentof every wrong when partaking of it, tho?e who blessed the emblems should follow the pattern revealed and the people should follow them by uttering the same words in their hearts. Elder Cannon then spoke of the good feeling prevailing iu Cache Valley. He believed the Saints here to be a good people, and he hoped they would appreciate the abundant Westings bestpwed upon them and live so that the spirit, of God would always be with them to guide them and impress upon them the things lie taught to tbem by God's showed the necessity of a change cf heart, and that the Holy spirit which could not be oba:ncd without humility would give m-vnnt- s.
