accompanied all true study. AS an il

concentration. When he reaches con-
clusion his soul is lighted up. He said
that this spirits especially cultivated
in such institutions as the Latter-day
Saints college, and only in those insti-
tutions is the whole man developed.

Struggles of the College
Angus NJ. Cannon said that thirteen
years ago he was called TO OCCUPY a
place on the board of the college. 1t
only had $500 with which 10 begin, but
the school was opened. Since that time
the college has made many vicissitudes
and trying experiences, the teachers
often serving upon half pay, and yet
not thinking it strange, for they re-
garded their calling as sacred. He re-
lated how Eliza r. SnAw had given $500. |
the bulk of her individual savings, to
the college; and he referred also to |
Horace EldredgeS gift of $4,000 and !
Edward Stevenson's valuable donation
of real estate. He said that the college /
has been maintained solely by the de- !
votion of the people and the care of the |
church, and that it had a bright pros |
pect for the future.
The meeting closed by benediction /
being pronounced by Joseph E. Taylor |
