that we build this store independent of the cap eap capital tl stock we have none too much of that pud and would rather rattler add to it than not and we will get our business settled up just as quickly as pios plod possible and as fast as possible do our purchasing abroad upon a ready cash principle without asking credit I 1 have sald said not riot only to my brethren here but to bu eur our creditors credi toie tois in the city of or new ner york if you have any dubiety or fears with regard to crediting this tiles institution I 1 am very much 0 obliged to you for having them and I 1 hope and pray tha that t you will never trust truit it any more 1 I do not wish to injure ure uro the credit of the tha institution but I 1 wish that we could not get got anybody to trust us but that we would do our trading altogether upon lipon the ready money principle we are perfectly able to do it and could have done it from the tho beginning if we we had taken the course that we should have taken and never asked credit and agg never n vr r traded beyond our mean I 1 it is within V my knowledge mis MIM and the k knowledge biow I 1 edge of thou sands sanda of this thil 4 that this eniti

the people will 1 i pv pay so sd nuch ruch rueh will wih tha merchants take lake or a thousand per cent if they can ean get ita and then thank god for their suc sue cess ceas they put me mein in naiad orsome men ineal I 1 havo have seen who when they had a cl chance chanco 1 nince rince to buy a widows cow for ten c cents on the dollar of her hgr real value in cash would mould make the purchase and then th thank nathe the lord that lie had so blessed them such men belong to tiie tire cl class elass assof of chris fians referred to on one occasion by charles charies gunn and aud andia if you sou will mill ex eue euw cue use me nid nig I 1 will tell you what he be ild lid id iid about them he said that heli hell was full of such christians christiana zions operative cooperative co mercantile institution has lim saved waved aa ax immense amount of means to this thia commini ty and abd we wish to continue the bus bua ineas lueas hence I 1 propose that we put up a building and then tilen instead of pa paying ying somebody in new york st louls louis sacramento or san francises three four five six or eight thousand dollars to lu insure sumit it that we insure it ours ourselves elyes and save savo that money 1 I will tell you why if another man calt can inake make money by taking my means and insuring my property I 1 certainly can save as much as asae ashe he can ean make consequently quent ly 1 I keep my money and do not liot insure lute my property I 1 have about ag w many buildings a as anyone in this thia territory and L neer yet paid a dollar to insure ona ono of them or any of my property or myself my bly faith falth is ls to build a houe boue hou e so that it will not like fire tire anre but when I 1 ride roandl here and seeg see seer stove stovepipes p pipes pes pea running through the rood roof of houses and through h wooden wedde it ly partitions as many of qt omm them do I 1 do not wonder that we want fire companies if I 1 had hid the tho dictation of the building of it a city there never neven would be any use for a fire company and never any need to have an insurance company but we would save all this clerk hire and the expense of keeping large offices what a saving baving that would oe do to the people build your houses house and your cities so that they will not take tale tai nire fire unless you purposely seft set them on fire when we see an insurance sign over a do orand then reada read a list in informing us that hundreds or thousands have insured say in this city eity then we may look for fires some bome will get their buildings insured as high as possible and then they will vill accidentally dent idly take fire on purpose some of you recollect a cIrcum circumstance which transpired here some years yeara ago certain merchants got broken brouen up with their pockets full of mosey moley and they had a large amount of pork on hand but they could not bellit sell it finally they gol got it insured and stowed it away in a cellar belonging to brother branch who lived near neat to the seventies hall tho the pork got on tire fire in the cellar and was burned up andall andali and all ali the in in the world could not put out the ibe fire but the house would not burn and ho how they could burn the pork without wg b burning the house was a mystery to me whether they goethe iusti lusti insurance rance money I 1 do not know thee are facts right before ua Us and ought to teach us a lesson if we call for the tiie brethren and sisters who holdstock hold hoid stock in this institution tuti tu tion we shail expect them to meet together and decide with re gard to building a house in which to do oun our trading I 1 think we had better hold our conference during the continuance of this wintry weather eather beather 7 and wait

story the other day a cache valley bishop related an adventure which he hp had with abear a bear which occurred in october 1871 and which has neger neier never been in any way made public he ue was wag elf eli engaged caged in hauling lum berand himself and a couple of teamsters had camped in ogden valley in the morning a span of mules were missing and the teamsters went out to hunt them up but returned in ian an hour and a half without being able to nind find them the bishop then iset set out himself to search for them th ere happe happened tied to be a high birgh ridge near with a couple of ravines running parallel with and on each side sidd of it thinking that the animals might be in one of those ravines and that he might amigh command a view of both he walked along the adge after going about half a mile rulle het he heard a rustling noise among some some brush and arfa the idea suggested itself to him that if he walked down into the ravine and the mules should not be there it IL would cause him a great deal of trouble for nothing so seeing ine inc a couple of saplings about twelve feet high growing close together he climbed up these to increase the range of his view an and lucky it was for him that thab he be did that very thing for no sooner had bad he got mounted upon those young trees than he heard a crackling sound as if it the brush was being marched through as though it was so much grass and out into the clear space came a huge bear that judging from its size probably weighed or pounds it looked wild and fierce about the eyes and frothy about the mouth as if angry on account of losing its companion or some other cause the huge creature trotted along and aud passed almost directly under tho the anxious person who watched it with au an interest more easily imagined than described it passed the tree and the bishops heart beat hopefully but after going a few yards it stopped suddenly wheeled around gave an angry glance at the bishop and made directly for the trees on reaching which it reared upon its hind quarters opened its tremendous mouth and stretched upwards u dwar a its monstrous paws which came me within a little over a foot of the nearest portion of the bishops body this was waa a most moat critical juncture a most perilous situation but the gentleman did not iese lese his presence of mind and the thought flashed across him that the lord never intended that he should be torn to pieces by a bear mustering blustering all the strength and aud power that he could accumulate he be put it into his voice at the very highest pitch and ana force foree of which he shouted down at the brute at the moment the latter stretched hla hia paws pawa upward get outi instantly on hearing thi taij syell elj ell or shou atho bear gathered himself and scampered away at fui ful speed the bishop got do down wn and perhaps he did not make very good gool time but his I 1 impression is that conever he ho never ran any faster before it is needless needle sd cosay to say that he i did not scamper in the same sime s direction reo rec tion the bear did and perhaps his teeth liu jiu not chatter iatter cl after he got out of danger an
