Of presiding Ofiicors "a the wards,
spoke VI thu unity that should exist
between Bishops and their cUunselors,
who "a High Pfies,s wefouet 10 preside,
ami the honor anu respect that they
should show each other. II the Bish.
optlc were not united, how could they
expect tne people TO boz Men In
au horliy should set eEsmplea " hu-
millty. The proud would lose their

power with God. Bishops should not

KLDER CHARLES W pENRosE
continued the subject dwclt upon by
Elder Cannon. lie showed that the
Priesthood should be exercised Ia the
spirit OF kiudneHs aud percussion.
Thero should be no disposition to
uomlneef and dictate. Reason ami
patience should prevail, not pride and
passion. There was a strange spirit
abroad, y spirit Of strife anu murder
anu the Saints must be- careful lest that
spirit creep into their midst aud create
confusion aud lead 10 darkness and
destruction. The people composing
this Church would not DO driven.
They were willing 10 DO led. The
true shepherd leads his dock; 10 does
not 40 behind them win ~ clue aud n
dos anu drive them. The speaker ex.
plained tbs duties OF Priests and
Teachers ~ instructors aud peace
makers. The Teachers had no right
TO act ~ judges, TO give decisions
and adludicate natter. They were
peacemakefs, TO pour Ia the oil Rnd
wine. The Bishops and their coun.
sellers aud the High Councils o0nstl.
tuted the courts Of the Church. There
was no zone man powern In this
Church, aud the disposition 10
domineer aud tyTannize, was not Of
God. Tho spirit VI the Gospel was the
spirit OF love.
ELDER JOSEPH L. TAYLOR
followed upon the same subject. In
the main tue Latttr.lay Saints were q
good people. They could be- led, and
they should 10 led, Dot driven. He
with tho BishuIs, their
labors were arduOus and many. They
should have the love anu support Ui
their people. Where difficulties tx.
listed, lasting aud prayer would avail
to disptl harsh feelings aud establish
peace.
ELDER CANNON
