wilh the saints and their hearts were cheered and their feelings made glad with comfort and consolation quite a number of the brethren proposed going with us as we passed through the for forche ibi grasshoppers had taken all their crops and as they had no farming to see to th they wished fo to go with us and take a ride gad gag those who went wint returned perfectly satisfied with thair excursion I 1 believe belleve laii all jall the settlements we have passed through are satisfied atis fied with regard to tile the lords dealing with wili this people abd I 1 wish wish to add to wh what 1 t lias has already been said that it be becomes cariles our du duty t y to use all possible diligence and every proper means to sustain ourselves we have yet ample time for planting and sowing let us us improve it arduse and jise jisa that ability which god sod has given us to provider provide sustenance and then let the result rest in 1 n disbands and feel perfectly satisfied this people

the children of israel when the egyptians were in their rear when mountains were on either side and the red sea was before ahrn thim with no humair prospect for avoiding di destruction f oll oil yet vet the lord broughal them salv salvation atio atlo u this people poole flave haye got ot to trust lii in liim him and learn thit tut th it he will be with his people and provide for his and defend

for te the lord to rain downa anna from heaven lie he iii ilk power to do il t JB je ame same power to feed his people in iri the th e latter days that lie he had in former lormer days it is far easier for him to feed the saints from heaven than it is for them to raie raise grain in the common way still it is our duty to be active and diligent ia doing everything athing we can to sustain ou ourselves to build up his ills kingdom to defend ourselves against our enemies to lay jay our plans wisely and td to prosecute acute every method that can be devised to estaba establish b the hid hin kingi dom lom of god on the earth and to sanctify and prepare prepare ourselves t to dwell awell ili in his presence yeta yet after all this if the lord should noi nol w help if lie should not lend his aid to our endeavors deavors all our labors will prove ili in vain this the creat great majority of inan mankind kind do not under understand he ilg lias lids made it obligatory apoi them to ad act to do their pirt part ye ir be was to neglect ills his part or withold his hi assistance our labors would prove abortive we must learn that it is god who gives the tha increase or rather it is his mercy over the people whether saints or shiners sinners that sustains them in ilfe life all litten litter day saints have got to tol learn these facts and it matters but little how bow we wei vei

and of submitting themselves and till fall their affairs into his hand fiand and 1 wish to to peb pee ea this done cheerfully and a patient waiting for the result of his provi dences there are two subjects subject which I 1 now wish ta speak s ea kupon upon the te coal bers beds which W idich jilch we visited m an fn bin yan sanpete San pete ete I 1 ink can be made available for fuel even inthis in this place at perhaps har haf or two thirds of the expense of our present method ot of procuring fuel fuei for our flome fires for he pubic works smith shops etc I 1 will willay say aay to gie pie he brethren be here re that I 1 expect the brethren in san pete wiil will soon send the terms upon which they will deliver coal in this city pity a and nd when they 81 do 0 BO 0 1 I shall shail wish avish to know whether any person in bithis this ci cily ii will encourage the business if nye mye ve turn our attention to coal for fuel wo we can easily store away a winters stock in our cellars and turn turri the key upon it and tills this wil will actually make pome come men practically honest whereas if your wood pile is out of bopra dors they may continue to be dishonest I 1 speak now of the practice of dishonest people not of their intent if it we can get men to practice honesty virtue and holiness iam lam I 1 am the tha faith falth that they will become righteous in lit their intentions gintant ons L that the time will come when the lord will bless biess s them and make them in ili reality righteous men and women q shall we encourage the tha coal trade or not shall we encourage open opening ng of amine awine and have coal brought to his this market it evou would ld no lid doub be disagreeable at first to the americans or to the majority of them but bul ut people wha who have lived from their youth by a coal fire admire it 41 its use is accompanied with somo some dust but I 1 will offset that inconvenience with one to lo which we are subject jeet when burning wood then thed oui our houses ire are often infested with spiders bugs ants and other insects which has always been men a great annoyance anno annoyance yince to tome moe roe I 1 ave ihmie often almost dreaded to bring an armful of wood into the house lest such insects should drop from it true these are small terms terns but I 1 will tell teil te you one thing with regard to life i it is the email inconveniences incon vell veri I 1 f ances which are interwoven with our existence that mar the peace of mankind more than the greater afflictions disappointments and perplexities men meet with as they pass pasa al along ong 1 in lit this probation but enough on this topic for j the present we have visited the tha iron works in Cedar city iron couf cout county ity and as far as I 1 am capable of judging I 1 will say that the brethren eli ell alave have done done as well as man men could possibly db considering 9 their impoverished circumstances and the m in ces they have had to jabor labor under they have probably progressed better than any other people would upon the face of the earth they are without sufficient clent capital to rapidly accomplish BO so great a work and many are without suitable cioth clothing and utmost almost destitute of beaden bedding and ather things necessary to supply the common bommon comforts of life for themselves and families although they have been thus destitute yet yit in tle the midst of or all that they have progressed almost equal to rne rue men of capit capital alin alln in the tile older states elates I 1 amt art not familiarly
