icer ning the death of lorenzo now pow barnes who died in I 1 england D dec dc c 20 and I 1 retrial remained ked that I 1 read it because it ll was wag so appropriate to all who had died in the faith falth oie yie ported by W richards and W almost all who have hive failen fallen ih lb these this last days daya in the church have fallen hi a e land this is a strange land lind to come from a distance we should cultivate sympathy for the afflicted among af us if there thore is a place plate on earth where men should cultivate this spirit and pour in the he oil and wine in the bosoms of the afflicted it is this place and anti this spirit is manifest here and although a stranger and afflicted when he arrives he finds dindi a brother and a friend ready to administer to his necessities I 1 would esteem it one of the greatest blessings in go if I 1 am to be abil afflicted isted in this world to have haye v e my lot cast where I 1 can find rind brothers and friends all around me but this is not the thin thing I 1 referred to it is to have llave thet the privilege of baving havin gbur bur dead buried on the land where god has appointed to gathen gather his saints together and where there will be none but Saints where they may hive the e of laying their bodies where the son sari of I 1 dlan alan ian will make his appearance and whore they oay nay hear the sound of the trump tramp that shall call them forth to b behold eh old oid ii him 1 m th that at in th q morn of th the e res resurrection ar they mav may comfit forth in a body and come up out of their graves and strike linds elands immediately in eternal glora flarv and felicity rather than to be seamed seaM sean rd of or miles apart there is something and sacred to me in this thia tamp tire the place where a man is buried is sacred to 4 af thir this subject is made mention of in the daok of or mormon and the scripture turnip tu reif even fethe filhe aborigines of this land the bury ung ing prices of their fathera father are more sacred ih thin in any thine thins eis pis when I 1 hoard heard pf af the deich ser der h of our beloved brother barner earner it conid not have affected me sor Bor much if I 1 h id the opportunity of burying him in the land of Q zion I 1 believe those ohn who hare have b aried their friends here their is 13 enviable look at jackb jacob jacob and jos jospph joseph iv apt how they required their friends to t bury them in in the tomb of or their fathers see the flip expense which attended tended It the embalming anil and th the going up tip of the great company to the burial biu bin ial lal it has always been imen considered a great feat calamity not to obtain an honorable burial arial ana and one of the greatest gurses purses th ancient prophets could put on any marr man was that hs he shou d go without a burial I 1 have said father I 1 desire to die the litre here among among the saints if this Is 1 notchy not noi thy will and 0 I 1 go o hwee hence anti and
