“ May the returns of the day be many and happy ones, and may your cares and sorrows never be occasioned by members of this extensive, and, we trust, truly respected family ; and, though the words of our Savior. " A man's foes shall be they of his own household," may be verily true in many cases, in yours may they prove to be strictly inapplicable. ”

“ All who hold each other dear; Each chair is filled, we're all at home, To-night let no cold stranger come. It is not often thus around Our old, familiar hearth we're found; Bless then the meeting and the spot For once be every care forgot ”

“ And may we with love and fond hearts ever cherish The tie that now makes us wives, children and friends.
Wishing you many, very many happy returns, we remain, your loving and obedient FAMILY.
Brother Lorenzo responded in a fatherly, affectionate speech, replete with wise counsels and exhortations referring to the order of the Priesthood, and the blessings, both temporal and spiritual, to be secured through obedience to its require- ments ”
