Overflow Meeting.

AS the tabernacle was filled almost
to suffocatiou, an overflow meeting
was held in the Assembly hall, and yet
there were thousands who could not
get within either building.
Apostle Brigham Young presided.
The services were commenced by the
Temple choir, joined by the congrega-
ton, in singing:
"Redeemer of Israel, our only de-
light"
Prayer was offered by E. D. Wool
ley.
The choir next sang:
Great God attend while Zion sings
The joy that from thy presence
springs"
Apostle George Teasdale was the
first speaker. To be truly converted
to- the truth was the first essential to
a true Christian life. But owing to
the fact that gross darkness covers
the face of the EARTH" conversion was
difficult When people were truly con-
verified to the faith of the gospel, they
brought forth the fruits of faith, the
works of the gospel of Christ in their
lives The Savior had promised that
all who received his doctrine should
know whether it were of God or of
men. Through this promise, Peter
could answer the Savior's inquiry as
70 who he was, with the testimony

Afternoon Session.

The opening hymn was given out
by President George @. Cannon. The
choir sang:
"Hark! we mortals. Hist be STILL"
Opening prayer was offered by Ell
der Joseph E. Taylor, of the Salt Lake
stake presidency.
The choir sang the anthem:
Lift up your heads"
President George Q. Cannon was
the first to address the meeting. He
read a portion of the seventeenth
chapter of John, where the Savior is

disciples whom God had given him.
He had always thought this one of
the grandest prayers ever uttered.

Elder Lyman read that portion of
the twenty-second chapter of Exodus

and commented upon the necessity Of
the keeping of them by every one. es-
pecially the Latter-day Saints.
Apostle Abraham H. Cannon said
the officers, leaders and teachers
should be exemplars in everything.
We should be those to lead the
children in the paths Of Righteousness.
We too often give teachings to
children that we do not carry out in
our lives. He spoke of a teacher who
could not talk very well in school to
his class, but obtained the love
of the scholars, and by so
upon the class, because they saw
he carried out the principles in his
life. So with us. we should endeavor
to lead the little ones by living the
principles of truth.
President George @. Cannon made a
few remarks regarding work in the
missionary field, by the gospel being
taught to children and through them
to their parents. This is very likely
20 become an important factor IN the
spread of the work.
President Cannon referred to the
Sunday school card on the Lords sup
per. The answer given there is that
our sins will be forgiven and that the
Lords spirit will always be with us.
This is misleading. Baptism is the or
dinance instituted by the Lord for the
forgiveness of sins. 1t may be true
that by confessing our sins to our fell
lows in fast meetings and other places
and repenting of them and worthily
partaking of the sacrament, we receive
a forgiveness of the minor sins.
Elder George Goddard referred to the
necessity of increasing the aggregate
attendance The best way found was
by the teachers visiting certain por-
lions of the ward and urging the chill
dren to attend.
The choir sang the anthem, Let the
Mountains Shout for JOY" A vote of
thanks was given to Brother Evan
Stephens and Brother Joseph ]. DayneS
and the choir for their services during
the conference. Benediction was pro-
nounced by Elder Lars E. Eggertson.

of God.
We should all be united; if we do, we
VIII be triumphant. We need not fear
for Zion. All will be fulfilled to the
letter and Zion will arise and flourish.
Inc Jews shed the blood Of the Messiah
and they had to pay the price. The
Gentiles shed the blood of the prophets
and they will have to pay the price.
And whatever we do of evil we will
have to pay the penalty for. If we
want to know of these things we
should read the words that have been
written for our guidance, for it will
all come to pass. The judgments are
at the door, so let US stand in holy
places, that we may escape them.
He testified to having heard the
dumb speak, the sick healed, the lame
TO walk and the dead raised to life by
the power of God among this people
He did not know how long he would
speak to the Saints
The speaker concluded by exhorting
all to avoid puzzling over mysteries
such as who God isl "who Christ isl
who Adam is" and where God
is, and to humble themselves
and seek to observe the COM
time these things would be made
plain. He desired the father to give
the Saints power to live up to his
commandment and all would be well.
The beautiful song Consider the
Lilies" was sung by Mrs. Lizzie
Thomas-Edward.
President Joseph F. Smith was the
next speaker. He spoke of the i'm
portance of the act, which had been
performed in sustaining the authori-
ties and the necessity of living up
that a o7-1r-sa r,dc IF dc iI1e-t
important as TO keep any other of the
covenants we have made. Notwith-
standing that we have been called out
from Babylon and gathered here, We
are still very human. The doctrine
Of Christ is one of purity, of humble
ness and of submission ito the will
of the father. The Savior came here
humble; he performed no great acts
of craftsmanship and led no armies
to battle; but as the humble NaZa-
rene he preached the doctrine of
faith, humility and submission ITO the
will of God. Yet he understood the
other principles of life, as is shown
by his turning water into wine and
feeding the multitudes on a few
loaVeS and fishes. He came to teach
the way TO eternal life. His words
were simple ana easily to be under
stood. He taught as the greatest
commandment rove IOu WIFI ali
thy heart and as the next ITO love
thy neighbor as myself" If all did
this it would be as it was when Joseph
Smith told a man that he taught the
people correct principles and let them
govern themselves. There would be
little need of counts and other forms
of government then.
President Smith spoke of the de-
leterious effects of drugs upon the
body and exhorted all to keep the
word of wisdom. Yet the greatest
part of the CRIME is to hear the COM
and then not observe it.
He deprecated the fact that adver-
tisements had been Haunted in the
face of the conference which advised
people ITO take something TO their in
jury. He advised all parents to teach
their sons the danger of learning a
habit that would enslave them.

 Measures of Values.

A dollar is not measure of length, breadth, thickness or weight, but of value. A measure of length, breadth and thickness must have standard length ill order to be true measure A meas ure of weight must have true weight, but when it comes to considering what shall be the requisite quality of a meas nre of value the free silver people say that value is of no moment, remarks the Mobile Register; that if it have Q certain name stamped on it and be call ed 8 true measure of value it will be a true measure of value. This is as absurd as would be an attempt to call yard stick of 80 inches true measure of length, or pound of ten ounces weight true measure of weight. The only true measure of value is measure which contains full value. Any other sort of a measure which is offered as true meas ure is false and will be rejected by the people --Floridian

The Austin, {Texasl Statesman has the following to say of Fields Minstrels, which recently gave d performance in that city:

The omens that were drawn from the imposing character of the street parade were fulfilled in every particular The jokes were original and what is not tivecharacteristie of minstrel jokes, funny. The adjective, antique, could hardly be applied to a single thing that was sprung upon to the audience. Speaking generally, the whole performance was carried out with smoothness and ease that indicated a thorough acquaintance with the business.
 "One or NO of the speeialties in the shape of comic songs were not brought out, as mentioned in the program. but their absence was not noticed. The performance was en- Enthusiastically receieved, the gal lery encoring almost everything with great vigor, but the appreci- alton was by no means confined to the gods.
 "Among such crowd of men pos sessed of real merit in their line, it is perhaps difficult to select any par tieular one for special mention, but it may be remarked that Mr. How ards "Sweet Antoinette" and Tom my Donnellv's "Honey Boy" were both encored repeatedly.
 "The introduction of Mr. Daniel D. Emmett was the signal for u most fearful applause, and when the band struck up the martial air of Dixie, the strong supports Of the gallery trembled from the outbursts of the gods.

The Free Silver Chimera.

The ridiculous attempt of the silver contingent to commit the United States to free coinage-to the exchange of 50 cents worth of silver for dollar in gold rivals in its absurdity and enthusiasm the widest chimera of romantic fiction. It carries Us back to the fond but futile search for the fountain of everlasting youth, to the medieval alchemists theory of the transmutation of metals and to the beautiful mythological story of Midas and the golden touch.

WHY PROSPERITY RETURNED.
Because the Drift of Public Opinion Is
 Opposed to n Silver Basis.

Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Her bert delivered strong sound currency speech at Montgomery, Ala, on Oct, 1. He said i'll part
 What our currency shall consist of is question to be decided on business principles. There is sentimental ob- jection to gold indulged in by some that it is the money of the rich--but it does not seem to me that this should have any weight because, in my opinion, the poor man is entitled to as good mon ey as the rich There is a sentimental argument ill favor of the silver dollar because 1t is said to have been the dol lar of our fathers. It does not seem to me that this argument should have any weight, because it is not founded on fact
 The fair presumption is that neither your father nor mine nor any other mans father who died prior to 1878 ever handled enough American silver dollars to keep him out of the poor house
 q know of no more effective way of crippling the south and it's industries than for our people to clamor for the payment of debts already contracted and hereafter to be contracted ill depre- ciated silver dollars.
 Fortunately for this country the effects of the panic of 1898 are rapidly passing away. Money has begun to flow again in it's accustomed channels Wheat has risen in price, cotton has risen in price, iron has risen in price, industries are reopening everywhere, wages are in creasing, and all this comes from the fact that the capitalists of this country who are shrewd, farseeing and who watch with keen eye the doings of every political convention have come to the conclusion that the free silver sentiment in the United States is not strong enough and not powerful enough to force this country to a silver basis.
 They understand that there is no free silver sentiment ill the east, none i'll New England, none ill New York, none i'll Maryland. New Jersey, Della ware or Pennsylvania.
 They see that Republicans and Dem ocrats ill the state of Ohio have pro- nounced against free silver; that Re publicans and Democrats ill the state of Kentucky have pronounced against free silver; that only part of the Democrats ill the other states of the west and south are for free silver, and they are conf dent, as I am, that the people of the United States, whatever else may hap pen, will i'll 1896 pronounce for the con tinuanee of sound money. for the parity with gold of every dollar of silver and of paper now afioat or to be fioated in the United States "
