Mormon. prophecy. the kingdom of
God and general salvation We're dis

Ship. Carbon and Barton.
The meetings. We're not so well at
tended owing to inclement weather
but We're very interesting and highly
appreciated by all who came cut to
listen.
Each meeting was attended by news
paper reporters eager for information
to publish In their daily papers CON
corning us and our teachings at the
| conference. Most of the reports We're
| true. hut one daily could not permit
| us to 20 altogether unmolested. II
tod, in quite an EXTENDED editorial,
how Mormons are given to fabrication,
that they are untrustworthy In every
| thing they say, even when bound by
oath to speak the truth. But general
ly the Elders receive courteous and
| fair treatment
been rewarded during the past year
| by number Of baptisms, the removal
OF much prejudice and the gain of
many warm lasting friends.
The conference has band OF earn
est, exemplary Elders, who, though
not given to newspaper publicity, are
| doing efficient service in the Lord 8
the larger cities.
Cur experience teaches us that the
| Elders who can sing Latter-day
Saints songs have a great advantage
over those who have neglected learn
ing them. We preach the Gospel as
much by singing Gospel hymns as by
| ordinary methods.
The six Elders who labor in Indiana
polls rent hall in which we regularly
| hold two services on Sunday. These
| meetings are fairly well attended, and
much goood viii result from them.
1t is interesting to notice the differ
ence in sentiment entertained toward
! the Elders and our people since the
memorable prophecy of President
| Woodruff at the dedication of the Salt
| Lake Temple. Three or four years
ago the press of Indianapolis would
have disdained to publish articles, OF
minutes of meetings., in our favor Now
| they court opportunities to do so. We
We're enabled TO obtain the elegant
| court house for our conference with
! out any expense.
There is lady from Provo City
| Utah, by the name of Miss Webster
| who is lecturing in some of the cities
| of this state against Mormonsm. for
| the purpose of increasing the fund for
carrying on mission work in Utah. This
lady was very much embarrassed at re-
| ceiving call from the president of the
mission the morning after an evening
| lecture at Spencer. this state, and hav-
| ing number of misstatements con-
corning the Mormons in Utah pointed
out to her.
Elder Joseph II. Carbon. president OF
our conference. has recently beer
called to the mission office at Chicago
