ZACHARY, East Baton Rouge Parish,
Louisiana, November 23rd, 1896.
To the Editor;
Receiving Your very much appreciat-
ed and valuable paper, and regularly
scanning the home and other news II
contains, also the interesting articles
from our fellow laborers who are work.
ing for the spread OF the Gospel OF
Christ, we thought 1t proper to ask you
kindly to add mite from us and our
conference, that other Elders Interested
as we are, might be encouraged by a
few lines from our fields, as we are from
others. 1t is through hearing OF the
success OF our fellow laborers that we
are aided TO press forward in the good
work, with renewed vim and energy, to
attain 10 greater success and achieve.
ments.
For sometime past this state was
somewhat feared by the Elders on &C.
count OF its low swanpy lands and
peculiar climate. Not until October
ash 1895, were there any Latterd day
Saint Elders down here. Since that
time the work of the Lord has been
slowly but surely advancing from parish
TO parish, and the Elders are being able
to break down the bars OF prejudice that
are stumbling blocks to many people
There are at present ten pairs OF Elders
clothed upon with the Holy Priesthood,
Systematically canvassing from house to
house spreading the glad tidings OF
truth and the everlasting Gospel in its
purity. Elder s. l.. Swenson OF Plea

After the conference in Pike county,
Mississippi. Elder Joseph. 7. sharp oil
Vernon, Utah, and myself were assign
ed to labor in this parish. AFTER a
journey of several days we reached our
field OF labor September nth, 1896.
According 10 our instructions, after last
ing, prayer and dedicating our work
aud the people OF the parish to the
Lord, we began our canvassing and
holding meetings whenever an oppor-
tunity afforded From two meetings in
week we gradually grew TO eight, then
fifteen. this being the highest number as
yet in any one week. Our ambition IS
not yet reached however, ana as Presi-
dent Kimball says, Stick your pick
higher and then climb for it, is our
watchword and we are still ambitious to
bring our conference up with the other
states In the work OF the Lord. We
have held sixty-six meetings up to date,
and are proud to say we have many
friends and few who are investigating
the principles oil the everlasting Gospel.
Our work thus far has been highly en-
joyed. Our health is excellent, and we
think the same can safely be said OF all
the Elders in the state. We have Just
received a visit from our conference
president. He expressed his pleasure
at our good work and left us feeling
well in body and in spirits

We rather envy the missionaries OF

the success they are having, but think
there are a number of honest souls here

sound OF the same could only reach
their ears in an intelligent manner. The
devil is using every means at his com.

Lord, but we who have received testi-
monies from Him who is the creator OF
all things, know that the time is not far

authority from God TO 20 forth and call
men to repentance and teach them the

obey to gain exaltation in the presence

this when we question their authority
