APOSTLE JOHN HENRY SMITH
was the first speaker. Briefly his remarks
were:
liz the priesthood meeting last evening,
among other things, remarks were made
upon the extent to which the breaking of
the Sabbath day has gone among this peo-
pie. II seems that the Saints are indiffer-
ent in the matter OF keeping this day, and
are allowing the youth of Zion to become
Indifferent. The ultimate result of such
an indfffei ence will be the utter overthrow
! of the Sabbath as day of rest and tue
using OF Sunday as a day OF pleasure
The people should see that this ind;ffer-
ence goes no further.
sire among US 10 hide and keep down our
weakness And now we see many Of the
Saints, some of whom hold high POSITIONS
in the priesthood. use tobac 20 in all forms
and liquor in public.
No man should be allow ed TO hold tb g
pries,hocd and administer its ordinances
who is not pure and VINO does not obey the
commands of God. Every member Of the
priesthood should endeavor TO establish al
those principles that viii make men the
noble beings they are entitled to he.
| The gospel OF Jesus Christ requlres that
every elder of this church shall say No -
whenever he is tempted 10 break the Word
of Wisdom; for this people have been
placed as a light for Inc world, and tenn
| perance lies at the foundation OF this work.

which surrend them cannot be coed or 3
pure people.
The apostle ended with i plea for the
building up Of homo industries, SO our
wealth car be kept in our own country and
so we may give employment 10 cur home
workIngmen. If we build up induatrles,
we will give employment TO ell who are
! now idle among US.
PRESIDENT JOSEPH F. SMITH
then spoke. He also followed up with re-
marks upon the necessity of building up
home industry. He said that Brigham
Young always desired home industries to
be established, and oflen admonished the
people to set up their own factories in this
country and often commissioned men to
set up mills, etc. He also sent many mis-
sionsries to teach the people to grow cot
ION in the south. The result CT the indi-
yidual efforts has been to give US MAUI
factories which make many things that
can be seen IN the fair. The people should
labor TO establish home industries by CON-
incr tnrafhnr. and working tnnnfhn1- LIZ
