Missionary Work.
Superintendent of Missions Leonard
spoke on the missionary work, re-
porting the vast amount of money
raised and expended by the board of
missions and the two organizations of
women. He said that out of every
dollar 30 cents go to foreign and 40 to
that in the home field the various
auxiliary organizations do work that
must be done by the board of mis-
sions abroad. In the whole country
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio river, from which most of the
missionary fund comes, only about
So. 900 was expended last year; in the
south, $51, 900 was spent among the
whites. and $40, coo among the negroes:
while in the Rocky mountain region
SIS. 900 was spent. Yet this part of the
is the largest amount spent anywhere
in the country. Yet this part of the
country does not give the proper at
tention to missionary work. He urged
that they do so.
A resolution was adopted pledging
the ministers TO do their best work.
Part Taken by Women.
Mrs. B. S. Potter. secretary of the
Woman's Home Missionary Society Tor
Utah delivered an address on the
work. She said that so far as she
could, she would use her influence in
the interest Of the women of Utah.
She also made a plea for the women
who have come here to do missionary
work and said that she would never
rest satisfied in the work unless every
church had a home missionary society
in it
Foss, superintendent and Mrs. Potter
were passed.
Appointments for the Year.
The bishop then addressed the con-
ference in complimentary terms and
announced his assignments of min
listers for the next year. The record
Of changes was almost unequaled, as
nearly all the ministers were left in
their places, the only change beside
the appointment of Rev. Beans to tho
First church, being the transfer Of
Rev. Samuel Hooper of Nephi to the
new district of Ophir and Mercur. and
the placing of Nephi and Payson
under charge of William Murphy.
on account of the presence here of
Rev. Beans there will be two presiding
elders in the Utah jurisdiction, as that
minister will have charge of Ogden,
Brigham and Corinne circuit, Ogden
itself and the First church and Rev.
Tiff will have charge Of the rest. This
disposition gave the most general
as there was some fear
of sweeping changes.
The conference formally adjourned
