DESERET EVENING NEWS: SATURDAY,

Elders he had never witnessed before
These statements are true. The lives
that our missionaries live and their
conduct before the world are living
sermons. They need not utter a word
and yet there is power for good with
them that impresses the people with
whom they come In contact
The work in st. Louis II progressing
nicely. Just before conference We bap-
tiZed three honest souls who received
splendid testimony of the truth of the
Gospel through earnest prayer. They
manifested faith that was truly re-
markable AS n result of their devotion
to the truth. God has blcgscd them with
the manifestation of His Spirit to such
an extent that their knowledge of the
Gospel IL greater and more powerful
than that of many who have been
members of the Church for years. The
st. Louis branch Of the Church num-
bers about eighteen members at pres
ent, and several more are earnestly In
vestigating. and we hope to baptihr
some Of them before long. Among
these are some who have belonged to
the so-called "Reorganized Church"
Our meetings. held in large public
hall every sunday morning and even

monies are listened to with interest.

ferent fields of labor To rivo ia thsi,,

method OF conducting the mlssInnnr1
labors In the state of Montana.
Heretofore this mission has heen nm
der the supervision of the Bannorls
stake presidency, and the missionnries
nave been supplied from that stake. Al
the last conference In ReNburg ii was
decided to sever this mission from said
| Stake. ''''
Al our council meeting important
| business was transacted for tho fur-
therance of the mission. The old neIda
were marked into conferences, namely.
The Anaconda conference. embracing
Granite and the southern half of Deer
Lodge counties. with Elder c. II. j.
Harris as president; the Butte confer
ence embracing Silver Bow and Beaver
Head counties, with Elder G, J. black
as president; The Missouln conference

der william Hin. who has recently re-
turned from mission to the Eastern
states as president; the Sheridan con-
ference. embracing Madison and the
southern portion of jefferson counties
with Elder w. G. Paul as president.
Those fields have, all been worked to n.
limited extent. ON account of n lack of
Elders, the work has been confined to
very small portion of the state.
The reports from the different Elders
We're very gratifying. a branch has
been recently organized in Butte city
with membership of thirty-hve Saints.

Saints pay IN n small fund each month
for the purpose of buying tracts, pay

field. This will be generously responded
to, as they express Il de sire to see

last year.
After the not altogether reassuring fig
ures given in regard to the output of la ST

That the prospective outlook more than

LIKES OUR DRESSED MEAT
The American Beef Finds Favor With
Swiss Butchers

Washington.-Consul Dubois
at Saint Gall, Switzerland, has informed
the state department that even If the
live stock exporters of the United states
find it difficult to get profitable foot
hold on the Swiss market, owing to the
cost of transportation and the obstacles
and losses attendant upon the same,
there is no reason why properly direct
ed efforts should not result in securing
lively and profitable demand for all
American dressed meats. In order to do
this. it would be necessary to place them
on the Swiss market in cold storage
through the ports of Hamburg, Bremen,
Havre and Antwerp. Whenever the
American dressed meats have reached
the Swiss markets in good condition
there has been a popular demand for
them and a ready sale, resulting in the
entire satisfaction of the consumer.
Some of the leading butchers of Swift
zerland have expressed the opinion that,
if either the American live stock or
dressed meats could be placed on the
Swiss market in as good condition and
at as reasonable price as the home prod
ucts, they would command ready sale
and give popular satisfaction.

point than any of which Loyd's Register
has previous record. In 1892 sailing tom

We find that while Greenock has on hand

than 1t had year ago, the Clyde in

I started up the river, left my boat after

the stars and a compass to guide me, l

begun our voyage when suddenly we
