in
the
Salt
Lake
Stake
of
Zion,
which
position
he
still
holds.
Some
years
ago,
he
changed
his
place
of
residence
from
the
Thirteenth
to
the
Eighteenth
Ward.
His
life
exemplifies
faithfulness
and
trustworthiness,
and
in
whatever
place
he
has
been
called
to
labor,
he
has
shown
great
zeal
and
integrity
in
behalf
of
the
cause
of
God.
His
works
in
the
interest
of
truth
have
been
continuous
and
unfaltering.
The
influence
of
his
example
has
been
felt
for
good
both
at
home
and
abroad,
in
every
locality
where
he
has
resided.
His
conduct
as
a
faithful
man,
full
of
integrity,
is
worthy
of
emulation.
He
relates
some
interesting
incidents
of
healing,
in
his
missionary
experience,
and
is
an
enthusiastic

in
the
signs
of
the

following
those
who
obey.
LINES
ON
READING
THE
LIFE
OF
CHARLES
KINGSLEY,
ENGLISH
POET
AND
NOVELIST
(1819-1875).
BY
LIVINGSTON
C.
ASHWORTH.
And
have
I
lived
thus
far,
and
never
known
My
native
land
had
reared
a
soul
like
this?
One
to
whose
natal
couch
angels
had
flown,
And
sealed
him
God's
elect
with
hallowing
kiss.
A
man
in
whom
God's
purposes
had
grown
To
rich
fulfillment
—
in
whom
naught
amiss,
The
jealous
scrutiny
of
his
age
could
find,
A
noble
frame
ruled
by
a
nobler
mind.
One
of
those
rare,
sweet
souls
to
mortals
given,
To
justify
their
claim
to
Life
and
Heaven;
A
very
poet
in
thought
and
word
and
deed,
A
clear-toned
prophet
of
his
faith
and
creed.
