Elders, through an interpreter, 30 that
all could have the benefit of what was
said. Three meetings were held each
day OF the An, 9Th and 9th, during

cream OF the conference. Nearly 1--WE
hours were consumed In testifying,
relating experiences, speaking OF the

every word contained therein. rhe
epistles rom the association and one
from Elder VIM. Paxman were listened
