President Lorenzo Snow
addressed the conference. Most of the
saints had realized their anticipations re
garding the manifestations they expected
when they embraced the gospel. He was
acquainted with the prophet Joseph Smith
and his brother, the patriarch, and others
over tifty-hve years ago. He became salts
fed that if there was any truth IN the
claims of any religion, the principles
taught by those men were correct. The
time was near at hand when the saints
class distinctions which nave grown up in
our midst, and become one in all things
Apostle Franklin ID. Richards
was the next speaker. We need never
have any doubt concerning this work. The
man who was honored as the instrument
of introducing it into the world was a ser
want of God. He received 1t from Jesus
! Christ, our Savior.
J., ,b- 1Irar of ho
fore they have been tried and have faith
fully endured. When we nave learned to
take everything as 1t comes, and yet have
| the firm determination, II and my house
will serve the Lord" when we can give UP
everything, and do this as it behooves the
servants of God, then we are prepared tc
receive all things back again as ours, which
| are not so now. Let US, then, go on and
keep the commandments of God. We neeo
more of the Spirit of the Lord if we wist
10 see our way through all trials and diff
culties.

some of the ISLANDERS that have been hurled
against the people Of God, even by promi
nent men who have visited the territory
He made an eloquent appeal for liberty o
/, conscience. The Latter-day Saints accort
to all men freedom To worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their consciences, an
we ask for ourselves only what we are vii
ling should be enjoyed by others. Tn
speaker wished the blessings of God to res
. abundantly on the conference, and all tn
people.
Apostle John W. Taylor
said God called upon all men to repent an
be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ 70
the remission of sins. Those who Dor
this message should keep themselves i
purity. If the young have sinned let ther
repent and the Lord would forgive then
They should keep out OF saloons, for it wa
sinful to eat and drink with the drunken
They should refrain from the use of tc
bacco and other things which the revelt
tions of the Lord said were not good fC
man. The revelations of the Lord jest
Christ were given daily through his serI
ants TO His people. The greatest desire
the Saints should be to do the will of OF
, Heavenly father and keep His command
q ments May we have wisdom, tirmne!
q and faith sufficient TO enable US to endur
9 unto the end. The day OF the coming
j the Lord Jesus Christ was at hand. Thoi
d who should stand at that time would
q those who are free from the sins of Il
3 world.
