necessary for men to join benevolent
societies In order that they might
leave a thousand dollars or 80 TO their
widows after death; that the purpose
OF the storchousc was 10 provide for
the widows aud orphans Of the Saints
and that men who belonged to the be-
nevolent societies, which places prem

President Cannon occupied most OF
the day Sunday. To his mind the most
responsible position for human being

the people upon the things pertaining
~ God aud eternity, and he therefore

aud the faith aud prayers OF the Saints.
lie referred to the many excellent dis
courseS given by various brethren
during the first two days Of conferences
and said he did not see how any man
or woman could hear those remarks
without being convinced that God was
with the speakers, and that what they
said had been dictated by the holy
spirit lie SAID the saints % ,easy a.
