thank for foreast past favors chave I 1 have taken the liberty to mention another of the questions which wa spoken of last week which you generously answered it was whether any high priest seventy elder ac had a right or would be b thought in good standing in the church if when the tile presidency thought best beat to send persons out of this basin to transact busine ba si for the should go there filere with ther them famili families eq without being called because forsooth th it it would suit auit their own private ii u i terest ac c su cuip apoe e that the presidency of this church should I 1 hink best to ti send a few brethren to the houth south tn country for a wise wise purpose and one of ti th twelve should i giuld without being ton tow or coulst led take his family and

terest lerest of one of the twelve and an eidt eldi r both of hem them have hare their eternal salva sal sai uon to work out and one should have as much iu m terest i in the up building of this church as the other it is true one lias has more responsibility i consequently lie he has the more to answer for and end e and nd so far as I 1 have witnessed has a more plausible pretext to wish to go where he can get wood cheaper and can get the necessaries of life with greater ease case for the twelve are necessarily poorer because they are oftener tener tenar called upon to go and open new places than any persons in the church who when a mission is is completed have to return to their homes hames to work hard at the plough or chop wood to pay the debts shieh their families had to contract while they were out preaching i n g the gospel when the saints of god can feel the same interest in this work aa as the presidency or twelve and seek for the interest of the whole then the work will roll on with such that it will wila astonish the world and braidi raidi ave wll wil 11 g give power and influence to this people that they have little conception of and who will reap the benefit every saint
