I enclose a copy of a hymn given at our New Philadelphia, Ohio, conference March 2, 1913, by the Spirit, through Elder E. H. Thomas, and I trust that the Saints will truly heed the admonition contained therein.

Tune, "Glorious things are sung of Zion."

Respectfully submitted, R. C. Russell

Hark, ye Saints, unto your Savior;
Heed the counsel I impart.
Promise rich with heavenly favor
Now awaits the pure in heart.

I now hold in reservation
For my children in this place,
Blessing choice, with exaltation,
Healing, tongues, inspired grace.

I'd exhort all of my children,
While in service in my name,
Quietude is ever needful,
Loud confusion I disdain.

Angels may withdraw their presence,
And the Spirit you may grieve,
Should you fail to show this reverence
As you enter, as you leave.

For my house in one of order,
Source of blessing, joy and rest;
From this storehouse rich in garner,
Willing reapers are refreshed.

Here the holy angels gather,
Thoughts and deeds and prayers record.
Would you have your heavenly Father
Note a thoughtless deed or word?

Let my people be more prayerful,
Fast more frequent in my name'
With your children be more careful;
Some the gospel will proclaim.

Tithing, offerings consecration,
Source of blessing, peace, and joy;
These are precepts of salvation
All my children should employ.

I have blessed each toiling reaper
Sent to gather in the sheaves;
Future toiling shall be sweeter,
Blessed with Spirit's grace and ease.

After you have gleaned the vineyard,
With your loved ones you shall rest,
Where the power of sin and discord
Cannot enter or molest.

—Saints' Herald, March 26, 1913.
