of the president of the stake, pre-
siding.

Press on, press on, We saints of God
Proyer was offered by Elder James
T. Eastman.
The choir sang the anthem:
Jesus, my cross have taken"
Elder Rulon S. Wells was the first
to address the congregation. He said
in part that he desired the guidance
of the holy spirit in his remarks and
realized his dependence upon that
spirit for guidance to say that which
was right in the defense of the Cos
pei principles. A comparison of this
age, when the fulnesS of the gospel
has been revealed, with the other gos-
pei dispensations will show US that we
are greatly blessed by the Lord. The
people of those former dispensations
were greatly blessed, but this dispen-
sation is the browning and final one
of all, when the fulness of all others
have been revealed; and it is possible
for man to receive any blessings en-
| joyed at any time before, if he seeks
| it in the right spirit of humbleness
and obedience. This is the time when
the gospel has been revealed never
more to be thrown down, but like the
little stone cut out of the mountain
will roll forth and fill the whole earth.
! Elder Wells spoke of the congress of
| religions at the late Worlds fair and
| pointed to the significance Of the fact
! that even heathens, Brahmins and
| Buddhists were admitted, but out of
all religions, the Latter-day Saints
! were the only ones not represented.
| Every effort was made by them to gain
! admittance, but to no avail. The lesson
to be learned from this fact is that
there is but one true church of Christ
! and the opposing forces to it. The lat
| ter may unite together, but they will
not unite with the true church.
! Many teachers of religion say that it
| is only necessary to follow Jesus. II
! they follow him it will be through the
waters of baptism and obedience to the
| laws of the gospel and do the works
which he said are necessary to our sal
walton.

| they have been in Zion a few years
and the replacing of the right interest
in the work going on by business cares
and worldly things. He exhorted all tC
/ do their part in the work and pay
their tithing, and receive the blessings
promised by the Lord. He concluded
by hoping that the time would soor
come when the Saints would all be-
united in serving the Lord and keeping
his commandments.
Elder George H. Taylor made
short address, in which he spoke of tn,
principles of the gospel as he had re
ceived them. He exhorted all to homo
the words of the mouthpieces of tn
Lord, who had been placed over US t.
lead us in the paths of righteousness
1t was the desire of his heart to keel
the commandments of God and b
faithful, and he hoped and prayed tina
the Saints assembled would be ais,
faithful.
Elder Char1es W. Penrose bore
strong testimony to the truth of tn
gospel of Christ as revealed by JOSEF
Smith and exhorted all to do thei
part in the work that they might ear
the salvation designed for them b,
our father.
The choir sang the anthem:
Lift UP your heads, OIL ye gates"
