A Large and Interesting Meeting
Last Evening.

The Sunday schools of this stake
were well represented at the union
meeting held last evening in the Four
teenth ward assembly rooms. Nearly
all the city schools were represented
as also were the schools of Brighton,
Rig Cottonwood (South districD East
Jordan, Farmers, Herman and Muir
ray.
Superintendent T. c. Griggs presided.
Opening prayer was offered by Elder
Peter Reid and the excellent singing
exercises were rendered by the Six
tenth ward school, led by Mr.. Thorn
as.
Through sickness President A. M.
Cannon was unable to be present, but
President Joseph z. Taylor of the
stake presidency. was present and ad-
dressed the meeting.
David s. Emery, recently appointed
superintendent Of the Sixteenth ward
Sunday school, made few remarks
relative to the Importance Of the Sab
bath school work and those engaged
therein possessing the spirit of their
calling.
superintendent Griggs desired that
where important changes are made in
any of the schools of this stake, or
where new schools were organized. the
secretary or superintendent should
promptly notify the stake superlnten-
dency of such changes.
Assistant Superintendent w. G. Bur
ton suggested that great amount OF
good could be accomplished if officers
and teachers would occasionally take
a Sunday off and visit other schools
and get fresh ideas, methods and
plans. All the schools would be bene-
flied and improved if such visits were
occasionally made, and visitors would
always be made, welcome in whatever
school they visited.
In the duty of conducting the Sunday
school it was consistent and proper,
Superintendent Griggs stated, that the
superintendent should avail himself OF
the aid and help of his assistant su-
perintendents, who should occasionally
or oftener assist in taking charge Of
the school, and all the work of the
school, it's conduct and management.
should be devised and planned by the
superintendent collectively
President Taylor followed, and began
by urging all Sunday school workers
to be united and trust and lean upon
one another. and sustain each other.
The most consistent way of presiding,
not only in schools, but in other ward
organizations. was to use and draw
out all the talent within the control of
the presiding officer. IN no church in
stitution could this be more consistent
ly practiced than in the Sunday school.
The most essential qualification of
a Sabbath school teacher or worker.
the speaker said, was the possession of
the spirit of God and the testimony
of Jesus. No satisfactory work could
be accomplished by any one without
this great qualification, whatever his
ability or natural aptitude for the
work.
While peace prevails in Zion and
every one had a good word for her
people. and respect and interest
in her sons and daughters was
manifest from every quarter the speak
er felt that there was now really great
er danger for the young than under
other conditions and circumstances.
Greater efforts were being made by
the evil one to lead astray the sons
and daughters of Zion, and it was es-
sential that Sabbath school workers be
active. earnest and interchangeable in
their endeavOrS to train and keep the
children in the path of truth and holt
ness.
The deaf mute Sabbath school will
furnish part of the programme at
the next meeting of the union.
The choir sang the school anthem,
Sowing, and the benediction was
pronounced by Levi w. Richards.
