To the Editor:
our annual conference was held last

not here. a month ago, Elder s. p.
oldham president of our conference,
received word that Elder Kimball
would meet us In conference on Nov.
iath and 1ith accompanied by Elders
Lyman and Cowley of the Apostles
quorum. We Immediately began to
send word to all the Elders and q great
many Saints and friends. The confer
ence was held In the same place as IL
was last May, when Elder j. w. Mus
ser visited us instead of our mission
president Saints and friends came
from far and near, some even coming
by team from northeast Georgia, near
~ $40 miles. The largest gathering of
l.atter-day Saints ever congregated in
the South came to see and hear some
one whom they had never seen, yet
loved and trusted. our largest con-
gregation was about 500 and Brother
Lyman remarked to them Il wonder
where you all come from. the woods
are fun of you"
The fore part of the week had been
quite cool and threatening. but when
Friday night came the heavens were

Sparks, Ga, Nov. 25, 1897.
! To the Editor:
we know that reports are continually
coming in from all parts of the mis-
sionary field and that most of those
reports relate remarkable instances of
faith on the parts of Elders or extra
ordinary manifestations of the power of
God. Indeed the way before the Ell
ders is unfolding and happy is he who
mas n sufficient portion of the Spirit of
God TO discern every advantage and
TO seize every opportunity; for often
times they are allowed to slip by, for
lack of Gods Spirit as guide.
We have just completed the canvass
of the city of Moultrie, the county
seat of Colquitt county Ga. although
we belong TO the Florida conference.
The conference has carried the mes
sage over the line to the CONSERVATION
of the adversary and his votaries.
Every hotel in the city was open to
us. Lawyers, doctors and editors We're
our friends, and our meetings both on
the streets and in the court house
ELECTED profound attention. Even the
street gamins were awed into respectful
silence. ON leaving the city some al
most shed tears, the leading merchants
very earnestly invited us back TO the
city and also to their homes. We have
seen hearts OF ice melted into friend
ship and esteem, while we yet stood
before them. Our visions have been
broadened and we can more clearly see
the immensely of the work of God and
how abjeot that person Is in the world
who thinks he is preaching the Gospel
of the Lamb and is utterly bereft of the
Spirit of God. and many of them in
capable of divesting themselves of
hatred and anger towards the true SER
wants of God.
The baptisms this year in the Flor
ida conference approach 300. Many
cities are being visited and the remark
able softening influence of the Spirit
of God can be witnessed every day.
We expect to meet Elders Lyman and
Cowley OF the Apostles quorum on Jan.
LIST and End in general conference.
Affairs in Zion are not exciting much
comment here.
May Gods blessings rest with those
who hav endured Affections with
Zion.
