This method is getting at the -—
thing in a religious way; self-deny
ing prayerful giving goes to the
foundation of things in a real and
earnest way.—This will try the hot-,
tom of our religion to see if, under-
lying our varied activities, our great
material prosperity, there is to be
found the solid granite base, Selt-
denial gives strength to piety, so
that money and home, life and
friends, are held for Christ, and
their surrender subject to 1 lis call.
This call is made the principles of
self-Jenisd specific; to marshal all
the force of our principles in the
Church and mass it at one point to
array this prindiple against the
money power and see which has the
mastery. The covetous principle is
very strong and widely diffused
through the Church. The princi-
ple of self-denial, its contrast and
foe, may be stronger still and more
widely diffused.—St. Louis Advo-

destruction of barbarism and out-
lawry within its limits, we heartily
favor the Springer bill and earnestly
request our representatives in Con-
gress to use their utmost efforts to
secure its speedy passage.
The report was adopted unam

skin Joe" of Texas, Captain A. E.
Frester, Col. E. C. Cole and S.
White of Caldwell. The theory
was advanced that an entrance to
the Territory could be effected from
Texas by utilizing a claim that state
had on the Territory cutting off
counties—very similar to the meth-
od used in setting apart Greer

Dear Bro. Brewer:
I send you the result of a three
days meeting held on Grand River,
the 13-15 of this month. Eight
accesisons to the church. Do not
know the exact number of conver-
sions, It was good to be there.
Have received forty-one into the
church at that place (Grand River
church). Have had fifty-five ac-
cessions since Conference. Pray
for us. Love to all the brethren.

the weather has been unfavorable,
yet the church has been crowded
every night, for several nights to

services' have been well attended.

convicted, mourners converted, and
the interest seems to be extending
