There was one sentiment uppermost
in the minds Of the participants OF the
brigham Young birthday celebration
and all those interested that the Tooth
anniversary. to be held two years
hence would be a great day in the his
tory Of Utah.
The large dag made especially for
use during the Jubilee was hung on the
south side Of the salt Lake Temple on
the occasion of Brigham NounR's birth
day anniversary, and Il covered good
~ portion Of that great edificc. II was
badly torn, however. by the storm.
Mrs. Il. g. d. Roundy danced the Sir
Roger de Covcrlcy In famous old gown
on the occasion Of brigham Young's
birthday anniversary exercises ut Salt
air. She used II many years ago at n
notable dance at which President
Young was present, and she also wore
IL at reception given In honor Of Pres.
ident Abraham Lincoln at Washington.

tual improvement associations OF the

peop!e were present at each Of the

Alta business meeting Of the Y. NJ.
NJ ]. A. and Y. l., NJ. /. A. held In
Salt Lake City May 20, the principal
feature, outside OF the business routine,
was the appearance OF President Loo
reno Snow, who instructed the
younger members on their duties to-
ward the church, but laid special stress
upon the necessity for the prompt aud
honest payment OF tlthing. No organ
ization can hope TO exist and prosper
without temporal and spiritual aid OF
It's members. II matters not whether
the association be religious or secular
j money must be had to 10 meet the
4 Expenses necessary for the carrying on
Of the same. President Snow deplored
he laxity manifested by thousands o.
the members OF the church In the pay
ment of tithing, and urged that In thu
future payments should be mad
promptly. There were those, too, VIII
while their names appeared on III
tithing roll. were not living up TO II
law Of the church; they were payin
tthlng, yes, but not as much as the
should do, and the fact that they ha
made false returns was equally Us ba
as though they had cvadcd the oblig
ton altogether. President Snow col
cluded by'saying1that had the SainI
been loyal TO the church In the la
three years there would have bee
s5,OO0,O00 more In the treasury tina
there Is ut the present time, and u
Issue OF bonds and other expedien
looking to the temporal welfare Of Il
church would have been unnecessar,
This fact, he thought, should be born
In mind by everybody who had Il
welfare OF the church at heart
