A MORMON CONFERENCE IN LONDON.
A conference of " Latter-day Saints" wsa held on
Sunday, at Hoxton, London. Morning, mid-day, and
evening meetings were held. under the presidency of
Elder Horace S. Eldridge, President of the European
Bliesion.

The stand of elders—i,e' . the platform—was crowded
withapostles and elders, and owing to the Large number
of Saints of both sexes who attended from the country
some importance seemed to be attached to the proceed-
ing'. The elders produced some glowing financial and
statistical reports, which showed that the number of
elders, priest*, teachers, deacons, and members of the
Church were increasing, and that England was in afair
way of being saved. Numerous speeches of tedious
length were delivered from the elders' stand, and were
greeted with Amens instead of Hear, hears.
Elder John Jacques, in the course of his address,
alluded to the present war in France, and said that if
the French people, from the Emperor downwards, had
acted in m.vordance with the principles of the Latter.
day Gospel, they would have done many things that
they had left undone, and they would not now be
under the heels of the Germans. The speaker inti-
mated that the destruction which has overtaken the
French was a judgment on them for not being Mor-
mons, and he expressed an opinion that other wicked
nations would receive similar punishment before long
if they did not repent.
The proceedings closed by a choir of girls and men
singing what was termed an anthem, but was in reality
a sort of catalogue of all the temporal blessings which
the saints look forward to as the reward of their faith-
fulness. Faithfulness, as explained to the uninitiated,
seemed to consist of two parte—first, "tightening your
grip when you have got a hold," and next, being "ready
to swop ten errors for one truth first chance."
