church were present.
After the opening hymn, President
Partridge made a brief address, in
which he congratulated the people of
the stake Upon the successful termlna-
ton of their labors. He thanked the
bishops of the wards and the various
committees who had assumed the re-
sponsibilisy of collecting the funds
necessary to carry out the work, and
stated that President Reed Smoot was
especially entitled to praise for his I'M
firing efforts.
President Reed Smoot then gave
detailed statement of the manner IN
which the work had been conducted,
and paid a high tribute to the people
of the stake, both Mormon and non
Mormon. for the generous and cheerful
way in which they had responded when
asked to contribute toward defrayinS
the EXPENSES. He stated that much OF
the work had been gratuitous, and
named a great many who were eSpe-
cially entitled to praise. He closed by
