almighty god has really a hand in the work works and that those who lead in it are as thoroughly in earnest and convinced of this as the most humble bumble and devoted of their converts this is the real secret of the success of 91 Mormonism this this faith in its divinity and trust in the divine power for its support coupled with a conviction of duey duty to work individually and in its interest placing it first and foremost as the object of life is the great secret which the world L cannot annot see because people will not look for it 16 in the right direction the 69 mormon idea is not that the individual or the family will go down 12 it is that the family must be consolidated and enlarged and perpetuated and the individual developed that the community must be thoroughly organized but not attha the expense ot the individual dual or the the family is properly a close union of individual so GO the community should be a close clotte union of families drawn together by mutual interests and the family spirit it confirms this idea by the doctrine of eternal or celati al manri mirrl marriage age the continuation of the family compact forever the everlasting and immortal building upon the foundation laid la in mortality the chronicle writer is correct in one idea that is if any one thinks the mormon problem Is ot of easy solution he will find himself mistaken flere here ja ia a
