The meetings were vel attended.
The seating accommodations, at first
thought sufficient Tor the people, proved

them and many stood-all seemingly
eager to hear the word Of the Lord.
The first three sessions were utilized
by the Elders in an explanation of the
first principles OF the Gospel. The last
session uai almost wholly taken up by
Elder Rydalch who spoke upon the inn
poriant topics OF repentance and church
history.

Successor in the conference presidency,
