ELDER CHARLES W. PENRosE
Expressed the pleasure which II af.
iorded MIN In having the privilege OF
meeting on thiB occasion with no many
Of his brethren and sisters. He r..
loited In tho Gospel OF Jesus
Christ, which our Father had
revealed fer our obedience and
for the Obedience Of nil mankind, and
that he lived In day when God had
commenced the greatest work that He
had ever undertaken to perform among
the children OF men. This was the
last difpensaiion-th dispensation Of
thu fulness OF tiLaes. When that dis.
Jenfation WAS opened up through
the ministrstions Of the angel re-.
frfrod to this morning, and through
the Prophet Joseph, II was opened up
for the last time. This was the great
browning dispensatiOu OF all dispensa-
tiong, In which the Lord had declared
that he would gather together 10 one
all things that are in Christ, both In
heaven and on the earth. When this
work was opened up 1t was with the
idea Of perpvtuiiy.
We were here to build mp
the Church aud Kingdom OF God, TO
carry on the work which He had CONF
nenced, with the consolation In cur
hear,s--that 1t would never be- taken
away from the earth again, aud that
the Priesthood which God had restored
in tho httor days was hero to htay--io
abide and prevail aud not 10 be pre-
vailed against.
Mormonism comprised NIL that was
soot, vittuous and praiseworthy-that
would III up mankind and eXAlt him,
aud prepare him for the presence OF his
Maker.
The speaker advocated marriage
among the young people In I,rael, re-
marking that the man was not perfect
without the woman, and tho woman
was not perfect without the man; and
10 tho celestial kingdom, where was
the highest degree Of glory, the soxsa
went together the one was not
without the other In the Lord.
Elder PenToAe encouraged the young
men Of Israel to strive 10 get homes Of
their own, each TO take TO himself n
wife whom he should treat as his COM
ianion, placing her on an equality
with himself. She should be regarded
lns partner la life, and let them to.
igether strive towards helping 10 build
iup the Kingdom OF God and establish
the foundations Of society upon tho
Aioper basic.
APOSTLE ABRAHAM II. CANNON

lSpirlt Of God In this Conference, and
paid he felt In his heart that the Lord
had many blessings 10 Tow upon His
children on this occasion. II the
Salnts over needed the Holy Spirit 10

tial glory, II was at the present time.
fEyen In the reading Of the Bible ami
other Holy Scriptures we need that
divine gift 10 enlighten our mindp, 10

hend what we were sttlvlng 10 learn.
The Lord also desired us 10 preserve
ourselves In the enjoyment o. health
aud strength by observing certain rules

observance. Then the Lord had pro.
snised prosperity to His Saints In
temporal point VI view provided they
would keep the law OF tlthing, and
s.elst In temporal way to build up the
iNingdom Of God. The promise was
That those who were tilhed should not

The speaker discouraged the spirit OF
