BISHOP II. B. CLAwsoN, addressing
the congregation, said: In reviewing
before his mind the experience of the
Church, from its earliest days, the pre-
sent condition was one that made him
full Of gratitude. The Latter-day Saints
should look well to their surroundings.
Having accompanied Ex-Mayor Fera-
morz Little very recently, on trip
to the Arizona settlements, he was
quite surprised at what he saw. Doubt
less he saw the best portions of that sec
ton. 1t is unquestionably a fine
country, desirable location in which
TO make beautiful homes. Extreme
cold weather is not experienced on the
contrary, it is quite warm during some
months of the year. Two weeks ago
they were in Mesa City and experienced
an interesting time in attend
ing the Improvement Associa-
ton and other meetings. The
trip was one of the most pleasant
he had ever enjoyed during his life.
Bishops COUNSELLOR JOHN Q. CAN
NON said: We claim that our religion is
a practical one. This involves doing our
duty to our neighbors and ourselves
every day Of our lives. Very much in
struction is given, and as people We
are endeavoring to do Alright. Still,
every one can understand that IN tenn
poral matters we have been very neg
lectful. We should treat ever man re-
spectfully, and give everyone his due, but
at the same time zealously guard our
own interests. This we have not strictly
done. Our belief is that every person is
responsible for his own actions. We
meet with opposition on every hand
from the enemies of truth, and conse-
quently the greater necessity for us to
live SO as to merit the constant care
and protection of the Almighty.
BISHOP e. f. SHEETS said we had re-
ceived variety of instructions
during the Conference, all of which
were Of great interest to the
Saints. The school of experience
has extended with many of the Saints
over periods extending for ten
and twenty-five years and upwards. If
we have not learned many things dur
ing that time, we have indeed been dull
scholars. Having himself followed the
occupation of q farmer, he realized that
the principles of cooperation were
sadly needed among the farmers to
avoid the extravaganza and waste now
practised among them.
PRESIDENT ANGUS NJ. CANNON, fol-
lowing up the remarks of Bishop
Sheets, said that he would suggest
TO the bishops thai tfey select and
appoint 4 man who und .rstood the
proper use and care Ct agricultural
machinery. Buy machines for the use
of settlement and not for each farmer
owning but few acres of land. In this
way crops could be harvested properly
and money economical.
The choir sang, 1.-The Lord will COM
fort Zion" Conference was adjourned
