After the singing of an anthem by
the choir President Angus NJ. Cannon
delivered an address, which he COM
nenced by speaking of the RESPONSE
oilities which he felt were upon him as
the head Of the $4,000 Latter-day Saints
in the Salt Lake stake. He urged the
bishops and presidents of quorums and
all who were in authority TO exhort the
people Of their fiocks to incline their
hearts to God. God had set the Saints
here TO establish his kingdom, and it
behooVed every one to do his part to-
wards fulfilling the divine purpose. He
had frequently heard complaints that
the bishops did not send ministers to
the families often enough, but it must
be remembered that every head of
household was a priest of God and it
was his duty to instruct his family in
religious matters and to teach them to
be faithful to the Lords cause. The
father of a family was not only a
teacher but also patriarch, and there
was no family in the city so humble
that God would not visit it with his di-
vine grace. The speaker recalled incl
dents of his pioneer days, and said
that when he entered this valley he
was little boy. He had tramped the
plains barefoot, had seen his people
robbed and plundered and had seen
them on the deserts with hardly food
enough for their bodies. His first in
stincts were those of vengeance against
those who had brought suffering to mis-
people But he remembered the cause
of the Lord and he remembered his own
father and mother. who had given their
lives in that cause He knew that he
must become familiar with the purposes
of God. and he called upon God to re-
veal his purposes TO him. He did reveal
himself in dreams and in his waking
hours. and he had taken him, a ragged
orphan boy from the streets and had
placed him at the head of the thousands
Of Saints now in this stake. He had
had jesus. the messiah, revealed 10 him
IN glorious visions. the first time about
% years ago. He had looked upon Je-
sus. had held out his arms to him and
had undertaken to approach him, hut
could not. he knew that at all times
he and al others were under the scru-
tiny OF the Almighty. When he thought
of the responsibilities which God had
