zion and we number quite a few yet I 1 think about 1500 souls what a cache valley it is and has been and its future greatness no man can tell today As I 1 pass up and down i these stakes of zion and find wards and families in every nook and corner of these valleys of the mounta insI often ask where and when will that increase and growth end and the answer must be there is no end it is like the ever rolling stream which says men may come and men may go bui but 1 I go on forever when viewing these stakes of zion extending their number I 1 remember when a boy attending the he methodist prayer meetings and after a sermon from the text they shall ask the way to zion with their faces thitherward isaiah some good soul would pray that zions cords may be e lengthened and the stakes strengthened I 1 could not understand their meaning and I 1 dont believe they did either I 1 now know after nearly fifty years experience laboring for the extension of zion if you will allow it I 1 will tell a story atory that happened during the early fifties i during my ministry in the potteries staffordshire england one of our brethren a jovial fellow had been saving up his hia money to gather to zion and by ch cb q i got into one such meeting as I 1 have described and the minister persuaded him to go to the penitent form or anxious seat and when there said to him in tones my friend are you golner going to zion he answered yes yen sir when I 1 get the means 0 jesus has provided the means said the mint minister ster 1 I am glad of that replied the tent blat q 1 I have havar on hn hen able to save u UT un n half the vaclev when does the ship sail the tha bialor di aloe was continued for some time and as mormonism niam was not as well understood then as it Is now it took some time to get it through the th parsons wool ship and money he exclaimed and at last said aloud my friend we have one of those vile mormons cormons here call the police it broke up the meeting but our brother got to zion and no doubt but that he and his posterity are aiding in real earnest to strengthen the cords and lengthen stakes of the zion of our oui god As the prophets have told old |
