blessed with many evidences of the saving power of the spirit of god in keeping men in the line of a calm performance of duty he had often been led to think ot of the magnitude of the work to be done by the latter day saints in carrying the truth to the nations and the necessity of the young people prepa preparing rIft themselves for the work by the gaining of a testimony and an understanding of
