/ ne is the one who is fitted for this position.
/ So it should be with the apostles any other
/ quoruEs of the people Do the Latter Day
Saints know this. l say they do, and when
/ q servant Of God stands up and teaches
/ false doctrine the people are able to detect
/ this, and they are also able to correct him.
This they know by the revelations OF the
/ Spirit of God.
/ The blessings of the priesthood may be
conferred upon us, but If we do not walk
up to all the requirements thereof. ] do not
care tig for the authority. The servants
OF God, IN the performance of their duties,
| are willing to be prosecuted and prosecuted
for their labors in the gospel. They cannot
/ be discouraged, because they know that
| God is with them. Persecution does not
destroy the church of God. 1t was neces-
sary that the Prophet Joseph should have
been prosecuted, and also the rest of the
servants of God. l pray God to bless you.
Ihe church IS OF God, and he will always
! show US how to direct its affairs.
+ Apostle George Q. Cannon.
Various statistical reports were read by
Apostle George Q. Cannon. The names of
the persons proposed TO form the general
church board of education was presented
| and sustained by the unanimous vote of
| the congregation.
Apostle Cannon added a few remarks. 1t
/
| Lyman and to see him once more among US.
HIS instructions were inspired by the spirit
of God. If we will carry out in our lives
| Une instructions given TO US during this
conference, they will be of incalculable
benefit to US. l think our Affections have
been of benefit to Us. 1t has been so to
me and no doubt to most of US
Satan desires topersecute us and to destroy
the work of work of God. But such perse-
secutions form means for furthering the
work of God. BY prosecutions we are
tested, and feel gratlhed that the Lord is
| permitting these things. | do not know
what would become OF us if Stan did not
| prosecute us and if we were in continual
/ prosperity. We should be able to recognize
the hand of God in the most adverse cir
cumstanceS we are called upon to pass
through
We hear that good many of our young
men
ARE LEAVING THEIR HOMES
and are scattering out to settle in other
parts. This is bad policy. If we have land
here, we can live here People not of our
faith come here and see numberless Oppor-
tunit!es OF getting on. We are not taking
proper advantage of these opportunities
They settle in our midst and build up
beautiful homes and are getting wealthy
1t IS not necessary for our people to spread
out. There is plenty of room for US here.
President Woodruff has set US Il NOBLE ex-
ample in this respect. He has been content
to settle on small farm and lived com
fortably on it with his family. I do not be
! ueVe IN the course Of many of our youth
who spread abroad into other parts.
| pray God to bless us and to ill US with
His Holy Spirit that we may be enlightened
| by it continually.
Conference was adjourned until 10 o'clock

pective callings, upon all the Saints who

helps and governments of the church He

brought the conference to q close.
