The testimony of F.ldor Junius K.

ihoulJ certainly mko n deep Im

reject It are In great danger, ami those
who accept hla testimony are In the

Spirit of God, which, aa wo are told In

tbelr aoula with n testimony of tho
truth, and they In turn have kuown,

tbe truth to be carried by the servants

Uod has entrusted to us. Upon thla

we placod ourselves lu a ixialtlon lint
they cau Justly attack ui? Have wo
misused the I'llesthooJ which Ui
haa given us? llavu weexerclaed un

Ifao, this dny, of nil others, which I
celebrated nl the birthday of our
Havlor, should movo upou ou r hearts to
consider our position aud niuend our
ways, that the future may find us
more strictly following the path
which UoJ has markod out for His
tervsnts to pursue.
Thla glorious Usspel has rnado of ui
oue,fomlly. It ha brought tbe high
mau down Into a hutublo position. It
has brought tho exalted mauwho havu
received It teachings down and put
him on a level with Hie poor man who
has had scarcely milllcleiit food to ktep
soul and boJy together. It has niadu
ol us a common brotherhood. We aro
the children or Uod. Wu know that
He la our Father; and tho igh tberu
may exist among men adlllereucu of
degree, a dltleronce of position, a dlf.
fereuce of wealth, yet In thu Church
aud In the eight of Uod we aro equal,
wo aro one, wo aru broihura
and sisters. We cannot alfrrd,
therefore, In view of these thluga, to
dial unjustly one with another, to of
fend eucti other, to crcato divisions
among us, or to have our luarts set
one against another. Our power will
be weakened If we do ao. It teems to
me that If there Is any tratlmony
necessary to convince the world that a
reformation hae commenced such ns
haa ncvor occurred In tho earth, It la
thu fact thai thla Uospul of thu king
dom la being preached to thu ;ioor
among men. When thu disciple of
John went to Uarn If Jujuswnslu
deed the Christ, thu word was sent
back, aa evidence that He was, that
tbu poor among men bad thu (Jospel
preached unto them. On, If It wero
not for thla Uosprl of thu Hon of Uod
how terrible would be the coudltlou of
the poor ln the earth todayl When
we look abroad and see the oppresilou
that exist In the world among thoiu
who know not Christ, and a reeling
that men who poen-es wealth are to add
thereto regardlera of the (utlerlug
whloh It untallsupon thelrfellowmen;
when no see tho hand of oppression lalu
heavily upon thosu whoare lu distress,
where can wu turn lor hope, or find
peace and Joy, except In thla tjospel of
the Bon ol Uod, which teaches ua that
it la necessary fur men to Impart of
their substance unto the poor and
needy, that thero may lu no aullerlug
among thu children o f Clod? Doea It
not lilt up our heart and fill them with
t raise and thsnksgtving to tho great
reator, who ha devised aucb a plan
for tho temporal salvation a well as
thu eternal exaltation of Hla children?
Aud as no standard of wealth has
been set up by which mon aro Ulcus
urcd who enter tbla Church, so, too, no
standard of education la neceesary for
a erson to enter Into the fold of Christ.
The Ignorant, the unlearned, the un
lettered, aru aa welcome to the Cnurch
and to thu fellowship of the Uplrit of
Uod aa are thu most wlsu among meo.
Vet the Uospel leaches ua that we can
not bo saved In Ignorance; that we
caunot remain an Iguoraut people an 1
recolvo exaltation. Hut It Is a fact
that ns soon aa a pereon fains this
Church and rocelvc the truth, Im
mediately a spirit take possession of
him to advanie and progriss lu
knowledge and understanding. Joaerh
Hmlth, though, as wu often aiy,
an unlettered youth, became one
of the most learned among
his fellows, becnuse thu Uospel which
Uod revealed to him tsught him that
advancement was necessary. Nor
did huconflnuhlmsell to the spiritual
things, as we call them, but he devoted
III tune aud at plied hla talents to thu
acquisition ol that knowledge which Is
esteemed among thu e)plu of thu

things which pertain to uur earthly
exlilencu knowledne of astrouoniy,of

w hlch will beuellt an I bless and make

Uospel alio teaches us to have love for
uur fellowmen; not to curio them, but
to diets them. How was It with our

fell uuable, under tho circumstances,
to enter upon the consideration of any
publlo business with tho ruerutrra of
his cabinet, and therefore, after an ex
pression of regret and sorrow at tho
loia sustained by themselves and the
country In lllalue' death, the meeting
of tbu cabinet adjouruud.
Tho associates of lllalro paid the
following tribute of ufecllou aud
esteem to his memory:

With reference to Illalnelt may be
