FROM the Penitentlary News eman-
ates with constancy a flow of wit and
humor that is irrepressible ; and con-
sidering the circumstances and the sur
roundings of the editor and contribu-
tors, it is remarkable.

some good brick work, in Flemish

D. D. Macarthur presiding.
After the usual preliminaries
Prest. D. D. Macarthur said in
substance, / am pleased to see so
many of you here this afternoon
to hear what we have to say about
our general conference. We had
very good conference Nothing
particular new was given, but we
had very good teaching by the
speakers and very good spirit
was manifest all through the con-
ference. There was a large turn
out of the people, the Tabernacle
was full as also the Assembly Hall.
Said the teachings was to the
effect that the Saints must listen
to the council Of those who are
placed to preside over us in the
church both in temporal as we'll as
spiritual affairs, and that the church
members must be subject to those
whom God has placed to lead us
and we need not neglect our duty
to the state as citizens of the state
by keeping the laws of God.
There never was a time that we
did not have a calm after a storm;
and now the way is opened for a
great many of our elders to 60 to
the nations of the earth to carry
the good news of the gospel to
mankind. The presidency are adj
vising those who have charge Of
the saints in the stakes and wards
and the teachers are required to
to be diligent in looking after the
saints that none may be lost.
The people are asked to pay their
tithing and their offerings that the
poor may be looked after. The
gospel must be preached, as the
nations of the earth must be warn
ed by this people who hold the
holy priesthood. l desire that we
may have the light of the spirit to
guide us Alright, that we may be
prepared to receive the blessings
that God has in store for us as his
people.
A. w. Twins, president Of the
Mexican Mission, said, [ am thank
full to my father in heaven for this
privilege of meeting with you here
to-day. The feeling of calling this
place my home hangs with me as
this is where | have spent the most
of my early manhood. While 1
have been absent from you, in Mex
leo, I have had many pleasant re-
collections of you here.
There are eight settlements of
Saints in Mexico. I visited all of
them and / found some who have
not been visited by any of the
leaders of the church and yet [ find
the same spirit manifest among
them all as exists among all the
saints. That is, they are seeking
to keep the commandments of God
and are striving to live their religion.

are better satisfied today than they
ever have been. They have not

Ting that country that were en-
countered in settling this and other
counties, and although they are
a long way from the body Of the
church, it is necessary that some
be on the front and it is right that
they hold fast to that which they
have obtained. We should be very
careful that we do our duty and
keep the commandments of God
and keep ourselves pure and teach
the principles of the gospel to our
fellow man, that through the atom
ment of Christ we may SO order
our lives that we are worthy to re-
ceive the blessings God has in
store for us. AS the earth has to
be cultivated and the weeds kept
down SO we should cultivate our
selves and keep the weeds Of sin
from getting the advantage of our
spirits and by SO doing we will gain
the favor Of God. A great major
ity Of the people of old Mexico are
Roman Catholics and have been
for generations. The masses of
the people are ignorant of the
scriptures, and RS q people, they
are led by the priests.
\ Now how is it with us; are we
what we profess to be? We boldly
say to the world that God has re-
vealed himself to this people, and
that by baptism and strict obedi-
ence to the gospel we will be &C
cepted of the Lord. Although we
are imperfect in many ways, yet
when we are doing all we can to
keep the laws and ordinances of the
gospel, we know that God is
very merciful to us and we should
be diligent in keeping the laws of
God as we know them. If this
gospel is the power Of God unto
salvation, as we know it is, then it is
ourduty to let our words bethewords
of honesty as also our works, as it is
our duty to show by our acts that
we are what we profess to be, as
faith and works 60 together. No
man or woman need deceive them
selves and think that because they
have been baptised and have bow
ed obedience to the first principles
Of the gospel they can do as they
please and neglect their duties,
and be found guiltless; but let us
be faithful to God and he will pro-
tect US and will bring US off victor
