A full attendance again assembled at
the Tabernacle at 2 pm. and after the
preliminary exercises, Apostle Moses
Thatcher rose to present the names of
the authorities, all ofwhom were dnani-
mously sustained. There is no change
from the former establishment, except
in the substitution of the name of W.
H. Folsom, as assistant architect in place
of that of T. o. ANGEL JR.
APOSTLE +. D. RICHARDS stated that
by the vote of the last Conference it
had been decided that missionaries
should be called and sent to the various
fields needing them, as occasion de-
manded, by the missionary committee
acting under the advice of the Presi-
dency, and the Twelve, without waiting
until Conference to call and publish
the names. 1t had been proposed to
continue in this manner and on taking
a vote, the proposition was unanimously
sustained.
APOSTLE MOSES THATCHER arose and
delivered an address which can more
properly be termed an Grafton than a
sermon. No attempt at a synopsis
could do the effort anything like justice.
1t will be published verbatim IN THE
SUNDAY HERALD.
APOSTLE JOHN HENRY SMITH said,
however much he might destest the
means which the enemies of this peO-
pie used to entrap their feet, he knew
that the spirit of hatred, of recrimina-
ton, did not belong to the true Saint,
and that that charity which filled the
bosom of our Savior when he was re-
yiled and prosecuted should also an
innate US. Like his Brother Thatcher he
had long loved the principles of this
government, had watched its growth,
and had viewed with pride its flag float
ing from the mast head in foreign
lands. His forefathers were among
those who gave to US our great Consti-
tuion, that constitution which guar
anteeS protection to all creeds and col
ors, and when he saw men subverting
It's principles, enacting unrighteOus
laws to Cypress a down-trodden people.
he felt that they could not be too deeply
eyecrated, and that Gods Visitations
upon them would be certain. He saw
no reason why the people to-day should
not rejoice in the highest that they
lived in a time when prophecies were
being fulfilled. Our only anxiety
should be whether we will turn our
faces against God. The feeling that he
must enter the cOnvict'S cell, said the
speaker, was one abhorrent to his
nature, the thought that an officers
hand might be laid upon his shoulder
was one that the inner being resented
but this and much more could he en-
dured for the sake of the principles of
truth. There can be no middle course
for the Latter-day Saints. Dam
nation awaits him if he turns his
back upon the covenants he has made,
or if he stands by them he shall 90
down to his posterity as the patriot of
Ged, covered with honorS and glory.
He closed in an eloquent manner, alb
iuTing his brethren and sisters to stand
amid trials, that when the end came
they might be received with the pleas
ant "Well done, thou good and faithful
enter into the joys of thy
Lord"
