mt 4 p. M. of the 2lst. after which
they would commence their labors in
the Parowan Stake.
II has been twenty years since the
Saints in the northwestern settlements
Of this stake have been visited by an
Apostle, hence the great interest that
was manifest In this visit and i'm the
earnest lubors of Elder Lyman in the
meetings above referred to, as also
the meetings held in the eastern part
of this Stake. where the brethren in
structed the people in each ward from
Rockville to St George previous to
our Stake conference. In Elder Ly
man making n detailed tour of the
wards and settlements OF this Stake
and lHhoring with the people at their
homes and in meetings. we are forcibly
reminded OF the labors OF the beloved
Apostle Erastus Snow. who used to
travel from settlement to settlement
and advise and counsel the people
sympath2inE with them in their vicis-
sltudes and rejoicing with them in their
bright hopes. Another thing that
pleased me much was to see the ear
nest manner in which Brother Lyman
was seconded In his labors by the two
young men who accompanied him-J.
@. Kimhall being the son Of the late
President Heher c. Kimball, and r.
VI Snow the son Of Apostle Ersstus
Snow. on this trip II is fair to say
TINT these brethren did credit to their
noble sires We feel that the visit
of the brethren MS above referred to
will be of great benefit to the people as
well ms Of assistance to the presidency
of the Stake, and we fully appreciate
1t.
Respectfully. etc,
