With the help of the Lord I hope tbe hearts of those present will bo touched touch-ed that wo may readily appreciate the blessings which come through the gospel. At the priesthood meotlng IbbI evening there was only nbou. 8 per cent of tho priesthood of tie stake In attendance This is not ns It should be. Instructions which are good for bishops are good ror over other man. Tho bishop should he the husband of one. wife, so should cery other man. There should bo no old batchelors or old maids among us, marriage should be cultivated and encouraged always. Every woman should be the wife of a husband and every man should take unto himself a wife. The Lord requires parents to teach their children the proper mode of living, and If they fall to do this and the child shall sin as a result and shall lose Its soul, then that Bin -ii j will fall upon the heads of tho par ts ents. If tbe president of tho stake, members of the high council, or any officer in the church, overlook tbe kind of teaching and training required requir-ed of them and sin result, then that sin is upon their heads Thero Is a Held at horaet for the man and women who aro called Into the world to preach tho gospel. Thero I Is a ministry at homo that is just as acceptable in tho eyes of tho Lord as a mission in England or any other country.
