NNiv1-s; and another a. Crumstown
on Marriage, By special request.
some oi the meetings were not lafgly
attended owing 90 the rainy wealth q,
and the scattered condition Of the
people. Alta priesthood and counsel
meeting held on Monday morning Elder
Spencer gave the Elders valuable IN
sirucuon uron topics Immediately CON
ncctcd with their labou as miaslonarics.
lie pointed OUT. by relating his own
missionary experiences, how the ELDERS
may approach the people, Ia order TO
get into their confidence, overcome
PREJUDICE and secure their hospitality.
lie relates that. IN al his travels as an
Elder IN this mission, he has never IS
set a ked Tor q meal OF bed, although
going without purse or scrip and never
done without either. The Elders all
agreed that we travel hencCiortn with
out headquarters and without money.
lierctoi. &c q intake has been made IN
he Elders having headquarters and
paying, as most did, for the same Ihey
have trusted IN the Lord during five
days OF the week, and IN their purse the
remainder Some have done even less
than this, going to headquarters every
night or tao.
Il has come 10 be thought that the
Northern States mission Is not as pleasant
nor inexpensive a one as the Southern
States, on account Of the supposed
GOODNESS aud inhOspitaliiy Of the people.
Such an idea grows out OF the tact that
the same glowing reports are not forth
coming IRON this mission. TINS idea
we wish to correct. for the people here
deserve showing W in Their true light.
There arc numerous warm hearted
people In country and city, here, who
will entertain the Elders. They must
be approached differently however,
from those 10 the south.
In tins connection we wish to mention
the names Of Mt James Wooltcr Mr.
John Reeves, Mr.. II Pointers, MI
George Senscnbough, who, with their
families, have entertained the Eldcfs
during conference. These kind people
have emitted themselves 10 the Elders,
and the ELDERS TO them, In a way that
the most friendly ties have been
established.
The Elders have all been given new
companions, and assigucd fresh pastures
in the large cities, TO labor during
winter.
The following are the new appoint.
menls with full post office address:

II any reader OF the NEws knows OF
relatives or friends IN any OF the above
named cities. he will DO well to com
munieaic their names aud full address
to the Elders, who will make II their
duty to visit them.
Some Of the returned Elders deserve
censufe for failing to write friends
raised up TO them OF the Lord IN differ
ent places, especially after promising to
do so. The Elders are looked mp TO
with the highest confidence, a. men,
and they may develop that confidence
into a positive filth In the Gospel they
preach by corresponding win their
friends. At any rate II aids TO keep
open the way into their sjmpaihits Tor
new Elders entering the field.
