SALVATION UNIVERSAL. 251

There is also in Great Britain Lodge's, Debritt's and Burkes' Peerages and Visitations which are invaluable to the searcher of genealogical information in those lands. These numerous societies and individuals in the world, upon whom the spirit of Elijah has fallen to this extent at least, are compiling, printing and distrib- uting these records of the dead, faster than the Saints can, with their present facilities and understanding of the work, obtain them: In fact, they have far outstripped us in the race, and while we sometimes are given to boasting of the great work we are doing for the dead, it is as nothing, a mere drop in the bucket. These people and societies are helping us, should we not take every advantage of their labors and stand in the forefront, mag- nifying our calling and proving our birthright as the children of Ephraim? Thus the hearts of the children are gradually, but surely, turning towards their fathers. The spirit of this work is now taking hold of the hearts of the people of Germany, Scandinavia and the continent of Europe. And why are they doing this? Because their hearts have been drawn out to their fathers, through the restoration of the keys of salvation for the dead, and they are energetically and faithfully laboring, but all the while uncon- scious of the full significance and worth of their labors, simply because the work appeals to them and they are fascinated by it. Surely they shall receive their reward!

Not only did he have to wait long for his car, but when it finally came its conductor was a humorist. "Aren't you pretty big for that chair?" that official ventured. "Yes," admitted Webster, wearily, "I grew up while waiting for '

the car. ' Success.
