half years yeara I 1 after he beean becan his bie ministry before he ae laid down his life when he wag cru cm rifled and his blood was shed abed for the redemption of the world he then thea entered

until now that was an en ell sample to all men under heaven who had received the gospel of jesua jesna christ who had received the priest hood and been called to labor for the salvation of the world he the speaker had bad listened to the reading of several letters froni from their that departed brother one of which had bad been read that morning those to hia 1116 rather father concern concerning tzg his bis mission were deeply to them all as showing the position tiOu the deceased decease d occupied his great zea zeal and his hia leere desire to save the souls of men brother cannons mission extend ed over but a few months from the time he be entered the masters vine yard until his spirit left its tabernacle but during that brief period he per peri formed an excellent work he opened 4 a good many manja doors and brought souls soula into the kingdom the speaker thought that it if those whose sons and daugh daughters tem died in the lord and were taken from among them could com pre hend the wor work k laid out for them in by nv 4 our heavenly father they would feel thoroughly satisfied there was waa a great crest amount of 0 work to be done on the other othel side of the veil by those who lived in ift the flesh and labored in this great work upon the earth from the time of josepa smith down to the present temple work for the dead was an important duty in which a good good many of the latter day saints were engaged and more or lose jess had to be done in thin thia respect in every age when the trw bal baj a people on the earth in these last days this thie some me duty retted rested upon us ua our fathom who had died without Is knowledge of the gospel had gons gone into the spirit world a d we should hould labor for them here this they would all learn when thoy they in their turn reached the other side of the veil and the books were opened A number of the latter day baines were taken away in the prime of life and some borne timer it seemed that the very best beat of our boys on earth were called to depart hence he did not know that they were actually better than those who were left but certainly they had remained faithful to the end As to him whose tabernacle now laid before them he be felt that all was right he was a good and faithful boy a true elder in israel he labored diligently in the easterla Maa Ma tera cause up to the last hour that he be dwelt in the flesh and he rejoiced today in the he spirit world among the lords the righteous that dwelt there he felt that brother george Q cannon and his family the brothers and sisters or of the deceased and the relatives of all had bad been called to mourn jtb anthers erg who of their beloved ones loss ice the be who had died among those of the earth had nations the to rejoice in that they cause all continued n faithful until called hence the books were opened and and abd when could understand these things arldt we it would be seen that the hand aright lord was in it and that what he of nf the was in accordance with his hia had done milind S in conclusion cono and will president woodruff that the comforting influence prayed might rest down upon the lord the of borrowing ones until our bodies and reunited on the morning writs I 1 were of the r resurrection sour JOSEPH F SMITH said brid be did not feel that morning in the in that of mourning death nor spirit Kt but rather raber of in that of rejoicing heavenly he father felt to god our gratitude for far his great meroy and loving kind towards us his children chi idren certain now to mourn for brother reason I 1 ly we ye had bad no his bauld hoagland cannon spirit not mourn today but rejoiced md hd which it had obtained the freedom in and in the glory and ex which he had bad acquired not at all strange that so it was wa of our elders had passed away many stage of existence while from this abroad in the missionary field the wonder to him blin indeed was that out of multitude of elders eldera who had the vast been sout out to preach the gospel to of the earth so very few of the nat nations jong them had met with death in foreign lands and it was to himself an evi dence that the peculiar favor and blow bleas had been extended almighty ing of the wonderful measure towards in a of this latter jatter them from the beginning day work it was remarkable that more fallen a to dia of them had bad not prey ease hardship and the hand of the assassin we were were all awaiting the time when one b by y one we es should hould pass pan behind the veil toil zen when we considered th that at nota not a son eon or daughter of god who had been in the flesh would escape the ordeal w which blob war wap called death we need not feel to mourn when the good and faithful the true and noble of his children were called hence we would not call back the spirit of brother david H cannon nor of those whose names dames have just been enu enumerated aerated me rated and who had died la in han ban eis ea in the service of god in the mission field or in going to or returning from it they had died in the discharge of their duty in faithful new nesa before the lord faithful to their trust faJth faithful ful to their covenants and the reward of the faithful had been given unto them it was true that our nat natural ural feelings were grieved at the departure of those whom we loved it was natural that we should mourn over losing their presence and their society on earth but when we knew that it was beyond our power to add one cubit to their stature in righteousness or to diminish aught in them when we knew they had been faithful and were indeed the servants of god and had died in his service what more could we desire if be could but know that his bis children would be per emitted to jay down their lives as had brother david H cannon and those other missionaries in every evoke particular toe the same how much preferable would that be to him than to feel that any one of them should be suffered to deny toe the truth and depart from the way of life and salvation with himself there was no question as an to the truth of this gospel in the advocacy and promulgation of which these their brethren had died no doubt in regard to the divinity of this work he was satisfied in his heart and mind that it was of god that there was no greater work in which a man could engage and none more worthy of the sacrifice of our natural life or the time and ability which god had given us these elders ehlers had laid down their 11 vs while beek ing to bring mankind to a knowledge of the truth as an restored to the earth in this dispensa dispensation tio n and he thanked god they had been permitted to do this in JEUs EUs bervice mer vice all was well with them and might our heavenly father grant unto us the same spirit which animated the late brother cannon while upon his hie mis gion may the same ame spirit that w waa breathed in his communication to his bis sister take possession of the hearts and minds of our young men and umen men in zion no h higher gher it no more noble spirit or asp aspiration trai could possibly animate their souls than was breathed in that one letter written just previous to his death if we could only possess that spirit and be actuated by it all would be well with ith us whether in life or in death he thanked god that young men like brother david hoagland cannon had been raised up in the midst of this people and he prayed that the same game spirit which he manifested and the same faith wiloh he obtained from god might be given in great abundance to the children of zion and to his people throughout the length and breadth of the land because he did know that it was the spirit of god the spirit of righteousness of holiness meekness mee knees and truth the spirit of th the e gospel of the son of god may god blow bless and comfort those who have been deprived of the society of a loved son eon and a loved brother may pence peace and consolation dwell in their hearts stud and be poured upon them in rich abundance and may they rejoice in the great and glorious principles of the gospel for which be laid down his bis lite life as a sacrifice may we emulate his bb example and follow in hill bis footsteps live the life he be has it lived v ed and accomplish as much good as h he 0 has accomplished complis hed while we remain in the flesh and as an much more as it may be possible APOSTLE FRANKLIN D was the next speaker he said he felt as though more or less he were this morning in the presence of those departed ones whose names be bad before read to the congregation the services on that were in condolence with theli their worthy brother president ert george Q cannon and his well as with the relatives of other missionaries who had died while laboring in the lords vineyard abroad in their bereavement but as president joseph P F smith had expressed it they felt not to sorrow under such circumstances but rather to rejoice rt it was not his bis intention to take up the time of the meeting with any lengthened remarks of his own he wished however to read an extract from a sermon preached by the prophet joseph smith on april 1843 just after
