Conference Proceedings.

The Conference was called 10 or
der promptly at y o'clock, Bishop Bow
man reading passage from the Script
ures. DR.. B. st. James Fry led in
prayer.
In his opening remarks Bishop Bow
man said he was pleased to again meet
the brethren of the conference. He
remembered with exceeding pleasure
being with them five years ago it was
one Of those seasons which he enjoyed
recalling. He was glad that the con-
ference was to be opened with such an
appropriate ceremony as the Sacrament,
aud exhorted all to forget any unfriend
ly feeling which any of them might
have entertained towards others; come
to the table with hearts free from ali
malice, and ill will towards their fel-
low men. Much had been said lately
of the doctrine of sanctiication. Wheth-
or we have everything we want he
would not not attempt to say, but if we
had entire faith in the Savior we would
receive all that the Savior deemed that
we needed. The Savior was for each
one of US "individually," as we'll as tor
all, and we should feel that interest in
Him that We do in the possession of
anything we prize. The brethren were
gaining every day by their attendance
at conference. The condition of his
health would not permit of extended
remarks on this occasion, and he did
not think them necessary.
After singing by the conference, the
Bishop read the invitation beginning ::
"If any man Sin" ETC., following which
the Sacrament was administered. I'm
