The next remark was designed for those who went about domg good, but made so much noise and parade about it, as to destroy a great part of the good they intended to do. “That is Sister Grimpkins,” said Dea- con Jo, ‘‘no mistaking that.” The pastor continued his sermon, but the deacon had worked hard through the week, fell into a dozing slumber. Nev- ertheless, although the body of the dea- con was sleeping, the mind was active, against as the Utahs. The former, for the most part, lead a pastoral life, their property consists of flocks and herds; while the latter are more wandering, worthless and warlike in their habits, and subsist by hunting, fishing and filching. Tn spite of all probabilities, however, it seems that the Council finally con- eluded to give up the offender. “So, at all events, they promised Captain Dodge, who was present.

In addition to the original proneness to evil in the human heart, there is either in the con- stitution of man, the nature of vice, or in their mutual influence, such a tendency to repetition that a succession of sins ig apt to accompany one sinful compli- ance.
