feelings ealin s are so dise disposed used the president arced that he desired to strengthen the missions td the cotton countr country y by sending down two hundred more families irwill be recollected hab fiat flat hat h a request was mape maae mae last year for the brethren to volunteer to go on thi that it important mission there were wera a tew few who iame came came up ua and gave in their namis names but u the tiie great mass of the brethren did not f belt 0 do 1116 0 0 o they were aware that it wilis was wab the inh lmh of the presidency e kiy that certai certain thip things g 9 should be bo done but they se seemed emed eus fus s though 0 h they needed taking by the e ears al a an Is i dg to inake pak pah them ethen sen sibe f the great importance that ought g to be bp attacked to t as this mission I 1 it t aphea appeared red as if some of the brethren to use a 4 expression expressions had become fastened ohe earth with tremendous roots so that it was with considerable difficulty that they could be got up but they had bad to be bt taken talen up root and branch ve aa as a coi ference voted volet that the prell president 81 should call but none of us

theli truth is that U the alementa ele eie menta including the water the he soil and all that stir round anem them are re atu actually ally atly aching for the brethren to combine them to gether
