OLM to the brethren and sisters of the sait salt lake stake of zion we take pleasure in laying before you a few facts in relation to tb thu the past present and future of the new tabernacle now ia in courna of erection t it was commenced in the fall naji of oi 1877 and from that time to the present many calls have havia been made upon you through your bishop bishops not only for direct donations but also to attend entertainments at the theatre both of which being intended to aid in the construction of that much needed building the committee take this opportunity of expressing their gratitude not only to the bishops but all others who so kindly and generously responded to the above calls the building has very favorably PO pio progressed gressed greased thus far and if the thousands who read this article living in this stake would like to have it finished all ready for use by the september it can easily be done and we will venture a prediction that every man woman or child who has or may contribute towards the erection of that beautiful building will feel not only thankful that they have doneso done so but on their first entrance into it will feel that they are abundantly repaid for what they have done there yet remains however much to be done mostly in carpenter work and over feet of lumber will bo be wanted to complete it most of the tho joists foists and first floor in the body of the hall are laid also the joists foists and first floor of the galleries are about completed the pinnacles are also being constructed of which there are 22 in number 12 of them are ready to be placed in position and the rest will soon be finished they are intended for the top of each of the rock octagon i buttresses and will greatly add to the beauty and general appearance of the r root roof and building the 30 columns are being prepared for the gallery supports the masens masons have nearly finished the walls walla which form the chambers running lengthways of the about three feet wide and nine feet high which will receive the main steam stearn pipes to which smaller brauch branch pipes will be attached to heat beat the building bui iding the heating apparatus will be of the most approved plan of 0 warming by Bi st eamand GO so arranged that an even temperature will be realized in la all the house alike there is yet a large of seats to be made the speakers stand and front of the gallery to construct 3 sash to make eight flights of stairs to build besides flooring ac then comes the lathing and plastering of the ceiling and finally the painting the building inside measures 64 feet wide and feet long there will be a gallery all round the organ now being constructed will occupy the west end of the gallery and ada adjacent abent seats for sin bin singers gers gerb the seating capacity of the tabernacle will be when the building is finished d a more minute and detailed description of its architectural plan will be published it is the intention of the committee to push forward the work with all possible speed and procure all necessary materia material I 1 for its early completion having the fullest confidence that the thousands of adult members of 0 this stake of zion will waa aia fa ldla asla mw obligation to use uee a familiar phrase of bishop hunter many hands make light work or where theres a will theres a way none are appealed to td but those who are both able and willing the committee therefore wish it distinctly understood that thesa remarks are not intended to work on the sympathy of the poor but as a kind reminder to all the rest trusting that on or before the let day et of Septen september iber next the public may be invited to the dedication of that noble structure for the worship of god our heavenly father we vve remain your brethren tue THE COMMITTEE THE CHEYENNE MASSACRE discussing the cheyenne massacre the chicago tribune 2 iaun a says their past acts of cruelty cruelly there la Is something in their abject con eon coalition jitian that appeals to sympathy ym pathy and something la in their desperate determination n to die rather than loge lose ih t has an element ot heroism in it and calls for ad mi ration so iong long ion lon aa as indians indiana remain on american foil there Is no alternative lor them but to go upon reservations and conform as a nearly as possible to the demands of n there Is no choice between this and extermination bard us its the alter may be but even that need pot deter us irom admiring their cou courage rages ragel hardihood and lova lore of Il liberty bortT berty yes if these men women and children had worn w white ite skins instead of red if they had talked greek or latin instead of cheyenne if they had bad died in athens or rometto Rom etwo thousands years ago instead of fort robinson last week if or tacitus had told their story instead of american newspapers how we should have 6 tad cad admired mired their courage hardihood and love of li bertyl and how we should have denounced the relentless power which slaughtered because it could not enslave them after all Is there eo so much difference indian courage hardihood and love of liberty and the same qualities located in other breasts and other ages could a greek or roman do any more for liberty than die for it could greek or roman show any more courage more hardihood than was displayed by these starved and frozen wretches on the bri sri snow ow covered prairie in nebraska was it not as nine fine a grade of female heroism for these squaws squads to fight and perish with their husbands as it could have been were they greek or roman matrons matrona mat rons because the men women and children burled in a single grave at fort robinson Bo binson belong to a despised and oppressed race A race with no rights we feel bound to respect no claims we feel bound to recognize ar are a we therefore to conclude that eternal justice will not hear their cry Is there one god for us ps aind and another for them Is not their blood as precious in his sight as our cure this may be called a sentimental view of the case sentimental or not is it not true strip the business bustness lessof of all prejudice and passion look at it as we would if wo we found it on the pages of history judge it as we would if it had been done by some other nation add and then make up the verdict dodge it as we may behind the plea of necessity excuse it as we mabby may by the demands of a higher civilization soften as we may by arguments of barbarism yet there thoro it stands a bitter burning fact which we can neither get around over nor under nor wipe out A investigation has been ordered and probably will be accompanied or supplemented by a military inquiry but it is quite safe cafe to predict that the burden of blame will be thrown upon the tha indians and nobody punished except the indians and when the blamo blaino and punishment have thus thua been baui equitably tabay distributed let us make haste fiste to bend send aldrain load of bibles hymn books catechisms catechi sms and missionaries sion aries to convert the to christianity and it if the stub bom born savages refuse to be converted let us straightway kneel down and say lord we thank thee that we are not as other me men neven even these indians indiana whose homes we have destroyed whose kindred we have slain and yet who obstinately reject the religion we have professed while doing all this cut them off we pray thee from the iho face of the earth and give what ia is left of bf their property unto us thy saints for an everlasting possession
