Choir sang, Love at Home" Supt
Thomas C. Griggs spoke briefly
of the experience in the fifteenth
Ward Sunday School. On las
Sabbath they were engaged prin
cipally in distributing the annua
prizes as rewards Of merit. They found
them to inCite the scholars to diligence
and excellence in their studies and
punctual attendance. They had expert
enced the desirability and benefits from
making nearly all their selections Of
books as prizes from the publications o.
the church and Union.
Supt George Q. Cannon said the Sun
day school teachers have a great under
taking to lead their scholars to lead tn,
better life suggested by their spiritua
natures. Young people lacking exper
fence, frequently are led by their crimi
nal natures to follow self qualification

temporary in their character. Tht
main object and duty OF a school teach
er is to guard and advise the youth un
der their care. There is no actual harm
intrinsically, in numbers of amuse

evil associations formed. that grow ou
