and quietness about camp life,
in such a meeting as this, that forbids
any great display of reportorial brilliancy,
and yet there is variety enough to pre-
vent it from becoming monotonous. To
day witnesses still another accession to
the population of Cottontown. Some
who could spend but a few days from
home are coming in to enjoy as much as
possible of this feast of fat things here
being spread for them. But the work of
the meeting moves along without inter
ruption, and every one, apparently,
has all on his hands that he can attend
to.
The division meetings at eight O'Clock
in the morning are designed to serve
two purposes. The first is that OF family
worship, and the other is to give better
opportunity for all to take a part In
social service than the general social
meeting affords, and also for more direct
personal labor for those who may be
inquiring.
The conference held another meeting
at nine o'clock, at which the following
resolutions we're adopted:
Whereas, The Lord has gone out be-
fore us the past year, and We see the
field charging and calls coming in for
labor therefore.
Resolved, That we express our graft
tude to God for his blessings SO richly
bestowed during the year, and that We
feel free to consecrate ourselves and all
We have to his cause.
Whereas, The endowment of a free
bed at the sanitarlum has proven a great
blessing to the sick in our conference
the past year, and;
Whereas, Some otherwise hopeless
cases have been greatly benefited and
have regained there health at this place,
therefore;
Resolved, That we continue the same
during the coming year, and that it be
supported from the poor fund.
Resolved, That We approve of the
action of the general conference in plan
ming for a school to be held in Battle
Creek, Mich, the coming year to edu
cate such laborers as do not have the
privilege of attending III college, ane
we request the executive committee tx
look out such persons as, in their iudg
ment, should attend this school, and en-
courage them to take this course.
Whereas, The spiritual interests O
the people at our campmeetlngs demand
all the time and attention of our minis
tiers and liecntiates, therefore;
Resolved, That we. recommend tina
our campmeetIug committee be selected
by the conference through thei
nominating committee ahat great care
be used in making this selection, SO tina
individuals will be chosen who will b.
, able to attend to the business of thu
meeting, without taking the time of thu
ministers.

j. Following the meeting Of the confe
ence was a talk by Elder Olson upon IL
1t ability and willingness of God to keep /,
a from falling and to present US faultlei
before his own throne.
IF In the same line was another at 2:
D. M, by Elder Durland, upon the in
1t mutability of Gods promises. Chri
.. em piled himself Phil. 2:s) of his glol
:, and power, and came to earth to |
tempted as men are tempted, Heb. Al
Dr. 2:l8) relying wholly upon the power
his Father for ability to resist tempt
ton, hat he might be able to succ'
those who are tempted. So we are
a empty ourselves OF self and sin and los
to him for power to resist tempsatio
VS. and for our encouragement, Gods prol
,u ises are made to us and confirmed by b
oath, Heb. Git. Ia the preceding yer
ly we are told that "men verify swear
the greater; and an oath for confirm
ton is to them the end OF all strife
and verse ID says Of God, because
= could swear by no greater, he ware
himself" This pledges the throne
On God for the fulfillment Of his promist
lD and gives us boldness TO come to God,
