charitable class of people but the presence in our midst of of many persons persona who have been converted abroad and who are unemployed for months after their arrival here is a subject for tor regret and shows that measures of a more extended and practical character than hitherto will soon have tobe tube to be adopted in fu order to PROVIDE LOVIDE rr employment which is the true trae means af pf af support tor for our population if it a person comes to utah it is with the thought that not noti louly only will he aln mingle with his brethren in their worship of god and listen to the tea teachings chins ot his inspired servants b but lit that he will through his bis labors be enabled to build up zion the support of himself and I 1 amily family is a foregone conclusion in his mind and is really the foundation stone of his career of usefulness ful ness eor for a man can do but little to aid the church if he be harassed by poverty and particularly ticul arly is thIs thistle the case when he is out of employment nothing is more sweet to a high minded individual jn than to have a suitable means meang of earning lils his livelihood and providing lor for those dependent upon hia hla energies when after his arrival in zion he linds finds the avenues closed against his former trade or occupation and through inexperience in other lipes be is de barred from obtaining work his newly adopt adopted eti ett home does foes not appear to any appreciable extent a laud of zion unto him lim ile he is apt to feel that his brethren do not take mke aa as much interest in his welfare as the gospel would require and the teachings of the elders inders abroad are unfavorably contrasted with the circumstance circumstanced san gan and conditions at the gather gathering ing lug place I 1 do not wish vish to infer however that a person should be so absorbed in money rooney gettin ett c that he loses all interest in other things pertaining to the gospel he should allow disadvantageous vant ageous circumstances to weaken his faith in the principles revealed from heaven for thee theo weaknesses weakness tes are as reprehensible as any which tempt the new comer but the conditions show that all who have the work of god at qt heart bould as far as they may way be able to create and supply employment for those thosa whom n our missionaries have soua ht out with much labor and privation and who besides being bound to us by theties thedles thet les ies of brotherhood have a claim upon us through their poverty an and d ine lne inexperience pe ri e n c c I 1 have thought thong flit while alewin viewing 1 the situation both here and abroad that bya by a slight addition to the excellent arrangements already existing for our emigration it might be ascertained what TRADES AND occupations were reprise represented anted in any given cor company and a concerted action on the part of the bishops in the settlements would place these parties where they were most needed on their arrival in utah for instance in atkin taking the names of the outgoing company the liverpool office could be supplied with all the information ne necessary ceary as to occupation circumstances etc added to what is already provided for namely the num berand awes aires ot family and thus could advise lle ile he proper parties here as to the kinds of labor represented by the company any settlement having need of ivor iNor workmen kmen in any special line by furnishing a list of the needs of the place before the arrival of the company could be supplied on its arrival and thus mabby matay families that would
