The' thought first arose in my mind' on Saturday evening and was matured so far at my determination to leavu home to-r a little while was concerned, on the following day.

As It may be interesting to some of mj brethren and sisters, I would like to outline -to ’you briefly of my visit. When we left here we stopped at Oma, ha, and as I have traveled the plains in the days of my childhood, again in the days of my youth, with ox teams and my Jo teams and so forth, I concluded it would be interesting to make a visit to the old camp ground of Israel at Venter Quarters on the banks of the Missouri river, and we went there, I think it was the 24th day of July, the Pioneer day,We had the privilege of meeting with some o£ the elders engaged in the mission work therd and the few saints who are living about Omaha, and that vicinity, and bad a royal good celebration of Pioneer day. We met under the old historical tree said to have been planted by the hand of President Brigham Young, and which now Is one of ihe largest trees in the vicinity, and there our friends spread their feast, w.hlch we partook of with them. We- associated with them with great pleasure, answering Inquiries made of us.“We next made a little halt at Chicago. and had a visit with some of our Children thero'who are going to school and had a very pleasant time with them, although- our stay there was very brief. „*■ We were not long in New York, as we landed there only a few' hours before‘the sailing of the vessel.

We bad' a good conference in London, and we afterward had a most excellent gathering, and met with the elders of the mission in priesthood meeting. From London we visited Scotland and attended conference in Edinburgh and Glasgow', where we also bad an enjoyable time with the people and with the elders of that portion of the British mission. Returning south from Scotland wer called at Liverpool and attended another conference of our people at BlackbUm in Lancashire, and also held a priesthood meeting there, Here w’e found the same conditions as far as the elders were concerned—a noble lot of young men, bright, intelligent, 'active, honorable, upright, olean, pure and sw'eet as were ever found in anjt part of the worliL“After a shqrt visit at Liverpool we returned to London. We spent a few days visiting In that great city the places of interest. From there we returned and took steamer again for our native land.} On reaching Now York, the lSth of September, we made arrangements as hastily as possible and visited Vermont, the birthplace of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and spent a couple of days there. We found that great improvement had been made under the direction of Brother JutnusF. Wells. Tho grounds have been- laid offmy childhood and to go around and see the various houses which I remembered from my childhood. We visited the place that was once called tho 'mission,’ the home of the Prophet Joseph Smith, so altered and changed today, internally at least, and so old. and dilapidated outside that ohe fa« miliar with it In the early days couldown course, of my own life and labors. I am willing to leave myself and my labors and my life in the hands of my God, and in the judgment of my friends and the people of God.

Tho old,homestead, that was ' 'ilrst built on the bank of the river, occupied by the Patriarch Joseph (the father of the Prophet Joseph) and his family in the early days, still stands, but In a most neglected condition, almost ready.to crumble to tho earth.‘•'We visited the spot where the bodies of the Prophet Joseph and his brother were burled, after their martyrdom, and- also their brothers, Don Carlos and Samuel. We recognized as nearly as might be the spot In which their sacred remains w'ere deposited after their death, the bodies if the prophet and the patriarch hav n’g been removed two or three times n order to satisfy a fancy of somebody, in order to prevent their whereabouts being known—the history of which I am thankful to have, as 1 received It from an eye-witness.■We also visited the Nauvoo house, the plhco where the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon wras placed by the hand of the Prophet ‘Joseph Smith, together with the bound copy of the Book of Mormon, the Doc-trino and Covenants and other church publications extant at that time, and 'With petitions to the governors of the1 Various states, on tho part of the Lat-tev-day Saints, for redress for the Wrongs they had sustained at the hands of Missouri.

We visited that and We did- not forget the historical facts that occurred within those walls. I pointed out to my friends'the spot onThe Chicago and Northwestern Also Reported to Be Headed This Way.pleted and made ready for occupancy, and everything is looking beautiful and attractive here. Quite a large number of our neighbors who attended the dedication services on the 23d of December last, hearing that I wras there, did me the honor to call upon rap and shake hands, and they made us a little visit. The burden of their petition was: ‘Don't take Mr. Wells away• f-composit!ftfffor^this’inoh-jccret mepioisb of KWOWH'COMPOSITIOS.from us.” They want Mr. Wells toremain with them.From here we visited the historical 1I1J1 Cumorah and the old homestead of the Patriarch Joseph Smith and his family. We also visited the gnne where the first childhood prayer of the Prophet Joseph Smith was offered up, and where the first manifestations of the approval of Heaven were made to man in these latter days, with reference to the opepiog of the dispensation in which the fullness of the gospel of Jesus should he restored to the world and the authority of the holy priesthood again conferred upon man. To sav that tho visiting of such places as these does not Inspire serious thought and peculiar feelings, at least in my breast, would not be trhe.“There is something hallowed about those places, to me and to all, I think, who have accepted the divine mission of Joseph Smith, the prophet, and who are imbued with the spirit of the gospel that he was instrumental, in the hands of the Lord, in restoring to the earth. To mlt;? it is pleasing, to me it is inspiring tlt; visit the haunts of that great and good man and his associates In the early days of the church, and even before the church was organized. We visited palmyra, near the hill where the plates of the Book of Mormon were found and shown to the Prophet Joseph by the angel Moroni, and where they were given to Jo?epli by him, which is a truth that all Latter-day Saints will have to accept in order to acknowledge the divine authority of the man who has borne this testimony to the world, and who was instrumental In revealing the fullness of the gospgl to the children of men.“Fiom Palmyra we visited Klrtlend, 0., and looked, again over the ground once occupied as a dwelling place of the Latter-day Saints, where many many vears ago a prosperous, thrifty peop*le'dwelt in-somewhat'larger numbers than today.“I^rom Ohio we did uotifollow down* the course of the chut ch into Missouri j and from Missouri into the state of ' Illinois. We passed over that pait of* the migrations of the saints, going dl-’ rect to Carthage, the scene of tho martyrdom I had a depirp to see that place, as I had*never seen it before; and I felt that I wonld like to see tho spot wheie thq blood of those Innocent men was shed for the testimony they bore to the world of the divine mission to which they were called—a command from God to restore the fullness of the. gospel and the way of life and salvation to the Tvorld. I.will not attempt to tell you’ or to express to you In the Jeast degree how' I felt on that ground. We did'not remain there Jong, but camo to Nauvoo,. the last resting place of the Latter-day Saints in the eastern part of our land. At that time this ‘ was the western frontier of the United States.“It was a source of groat delight-and pleasure Ip visit the sccnes ofWhere the prophet landed with bis ^brother from a skiff when they gave themselves up into the hands of the mob to go to their martyrdom at Carthage. We visited other places of interest, but it would be too much for me to attempt to express my feelings in Visiting these ancient, now' almost obliterated, places of interest. Wo f6Und in Nauvoo a very kindly feeling existing on the part of the people whom we met. They all seemed to be friendly to us, pleased to meet us, and we felt very much delighted, very much pleased\with tho spirit that we found in that once sacred place. After our visit there we returned by railhome. ,“Now, my brethren and sisters, I did not anticipate occupying so much time when I arose, and I hope you will pardon me for trespassing so long upon your patience. I rejoice in the testimony that I have received In the assurance that 1 feel In my soul that God. is pleased with the most of His people, at least. There may be some who are foolish amongst us, shallow persons, who look only to the surface, who do not go down into the truth— into the facts. There may be those who are swayed for a little while by the popular clamor, who may give way to some extent, to the things that seem to pervade .certain quarters, but when they wake up to their condition and to the real truth, many of them, many of the few that aro thus influenced and swayed against the truth and against reason and. righteousness, will be willing to repent in sackcloth nnd ashes. It is not my purpose to stand here and try to make any apology or to offer any defense of myThat the Burlington and Northwestern railroads are each headed towards Ogdon, is a matter that has' been pub lished by this paper several times of late. That two different parties of surveyors are in tho field north of Ogden is an actual fact and that one road will come-around the north end of Bear lake and another road around the south end of the lake, has been verified to a certain extent by tho residents of northern Utah. The early buildinglt;ot these roads in the northern territory is a matter that will probably be hastened, owing to the fact .that tho Harrlman roads' have closed^the Ogden gateway' to -the Gould and allied lines.It has aLo been established that a line that will parallel the Oregon Short Line through Idaho and part of Utah, Is another matter that has caused^deep concern. During the first three or four months of the present year a party of surveyors were working through the Snake river valley. They were at work on a line that will practically parallel the Short Line and is headed for Ogden.At the present time a party of surveyors, w'ho are supposed to bo in the employ of the Burlington are surveying a lino from Montpelier, Ida., to Ogden. The party Is quietly working upon the line and avoid cities and towns where it is possible. To the inquiries of the lesldents of the country traversed, the men say that they are sheep inspectors, The party does not carry a full cross-sectioning outfit, but is amply supplied with instruments that can be used in select-CLARK'SSTORES’We are clpslng out our Ladies’ Suits.
