Morning session


After the opening services,
PRESIDENT wIIFRED WOODRUFF
made the opening address. He congrstu-
lated the Saints on the mission they have
been sent to the earth TO perform This
people and sll men have had q previous ex-
istence in the presence Of God, and they
should rejoice that they have been placed
upon the earth in the time when the God
of Israel has restored his Gospel for the
last time, and also that they have part in
the great work which God is carrying on
In this age.
The president said he wished all bust
ness would be suspended during the con-
ference so far as possible and that every
Saint attend the conference, so that the
united prayers OF all the Saints may go up
to Cod and invoke his divine blessing upon
the people and the work they have on
hand. II the conference is thus at
tended, the blessings OF God will I'M
donbfedly descend upon the people and
much good will be accomplished.
President Woodruff then called on
ELDRy SEYMOUR B. YOUNG.
who spoke historically and upon general
church work. showing how the church had
been founded many years ago aud how IL
has spread, so that this people number
hundreds Of thousands who are scattered
over Utah and the surrounding states and
territories and in many foreign countries.
PRESIDENT LORENZO SNOW
then took the stand He said the people
who are assembled in these valleys have
come here for q certain purpose-having
been called by the Lord TO gather out Of
Babylon-and this is one of the many in
stances in which u people has been called
out By the Lord to perform some work he
had designed.
In ali such cases when an individual or
people has done the work of God accord
ing TO his commands, prosperity has al
ways attended such rightiul efforts, while
If the path OF right has been strayed from,
misfortune has always followed.
The Mormon people, he said, have their
church planted upon a sure foundation
that cannot be undermined. This should
encourage them and they should endeavor
&c make themselves perfect by building
upon this foundation and il they will fol-
low in the true path they car obtsin sll
the blessings that have ever baen given
from God unto men.
The proof that this people has sure
and true foundation is the fact that all the
Saints have received the holy ghost
through the ministration of the servants
Of God. Revelation is the rock upon
10 be built and against which the gates OF
he'll shall not prevail The receiving Of the
spirit Of the holy ghost is in the nature of g
revelation and the fact that all these Saints
have gathered from the nations to these
valleys, proves that the Holy Ghost has
been received, for the elderB promised the
gift Of the Holy Ghost to all who obeyed
their testimony and these people all know
they have received it. This fact proves
that this church is being built upon the
rock of revelation and that The gates OF
hell shall not prevail against IT, He sal {
that the Saints should be thankful for past
blessings and live for the blessings thai
are held for them in the future.
ELDER B. H ROBERTS
was next called upon. The elder read par
of a revelation that was given in Kirkland
o., when the people had gathered together
TO consider the proposition to erect print
ing press on the western frontier so that 6
doctrinaI paper might be issued and
also that the revelations That haO
been given up TO that date might
be published. And when the reve
lations had been collected the Lord gave
this revelation as sort of supplement tC

Covenants as an appendix. A portion Of
