Abraham II. Cannon was the first
speaker at the afternoon services, say
ing: II have been impressed with the
exceflency Of the programme for this
conference, 1T being so arranged that
every number is interesting.
1.-The young men should receive a
lesson from these exercises. find that
young men in our midst are idle TO a
certain extent, and especially through
the settlements. The Sabbath day is
the day when it is most noticeable,
young men congregating at conspicu-
Gus places on the streets and using
language which in a great many cases
Young ladies of this association can
do great good in such cases. Our
young people do not realize what can
be accomplished in a single moment of
time. and consequently do not make
enough use of the golden moments God
has given them"
Mr.. Cannon gave several examples
of what could be done in short space
of time, among them were these:
God called Mohammed from his bed,
1t is said. and showed him all tIhe
wonders OF heaven, and 50 quickly, 1T
is said, that the bed was not yet cold
when he got back"
I'm st. Louis the other day a man
was looking at his watch, and saw a
mighty piece of iron being hurled TO-
warN him. He felt certain of instant
death. when Vt was turned aside, and
he found that just one minute had
eiapsed since he first saw it. And yet
in that time his hair had turned abso-
lutely gray from fright"
The speaker closed with a warning
as to how one should spend his or her
time. and the dangers of idleness.
ELDER HINCKLEY.
Bryant Hincbley of the Utah stake
was the next speaker. This bright
young man dwelt upon the work of the
association, saying, 1 love it Cthe asso-
ciation) for what it has done for me,
and / love ii because / work for it. He
spoke of the great work il performed,
and CT the effort which has brought
about the present conditions.
mo people ever graced the earth as
heroic as the Latter-day Saints, and
we will be the greatest people on the
earth. for the line is marked out, ac-
cording to Joseph Smith, the true
prophet of God"
PRESIDENT CANNON.
President George @. Cannon spoke
about the great field to work in. Zone
is greatly impressed at what has and
what will be accomplished. An i'm
mense labor has been performed. Our
capacity for organization is unexam-
pied anywhere, and we have great need
for organization to raise the people
to a higher degree of education, polish
and intelligence. 1 think the foremost
thinker in our midst cannot conceive
what is in the future for the Latter
DAY Saints" He spoke of societies
which led to the NJ. l. A 1.-THE effect
and teachings of different organiza-
tons is that there shall be advance
ment ard improvement. 1t will not be
many days until we have an organiza-
ton finer than any on earth. My rea-
sons for these assertions are these: We
have truth. and have received revela-
ton from God.
We have taught the people prac-
tically We were once despised. but
"a that is changed. In all directions
the superiority of Latter-day Saints
VIII be manifest"
