I remained with the company until they reached Beaver City. The return was as welcome and agreeable as the first visit. News came to me of the severe sickness of my boy, and I hastened homeward by stage. I have thought many times, that since an account of the President's visits has never been described at length, I would risk the recital of a subject which abler men have left untouched, and so submit these details. Those who have never had such an opportunity, will be able to see how greatly such movements helped to encourage the minds of those whose duty it was to build bridges, make ditches, and kill the snakes for the generations that will follow in our own loved Deseret. I was glad to accompany, and to see so much of, one of the greatest men of the century. THROUGH CHRIST AND REPENTANCE ARE YE SAVED. Learn to shun no task or duty; follow where the Savior led: Jesus' life was plain and perfect; in his footsteps let us tread. Ask the secret of his mission, search the key to his success: 'Twas: he sought to save his fellows, truly love them and to bless. And his prayer was: "Thine, Father, thine and not my will be done." And his will was e'en the Father's, e'en the Great Eternal One. Lo! he groaned in blood and anguish, sorely wept for those who sin, Gladly suffered pain and sorrow, nobly died, that man might win. Follow then his sacred footsteps, crown of Glory and of Life, And]be valient in his service, in the war 'gainst sin and strife. He shall lead them to his glory, and deliver them from fall. Who ropent of their transgressions, and obey his saving call. Annie G. Lauritzen. nichfield, Utah.
