To the Editor
Since the Florida conference that con-
vened In Jacksonville on Feb. II. and
u, 1900. myself and companions have
been laboring IN this part Of the vine
yard There are a number OF good
faithful members, scattered along the
southern part OF the country, near the
ST. Mary's river We also have a num-
Der Of friends In different parts OF the
county, who are earnestly inyestigat-
ing the Gospel and we believe the
work throughout the South is progress
ing nicely.
The Florida conference numbering
forty-one Elders. with Elder Geo. w.
Skidmore as our president is in a
flOurishing condition. and we believe a
good work Is being done throughout the
conference. We find the people OF the
South. as a rule, very hospitable and
kind; and the way Is continually OPEN
ing up for the spread Of truth, OF
course, We meet with considerable OPP
position But this only spurs us on to
further diligence. II causes fair-mlnd-
ed people TO investigate.
We have just recently paid a visit to
ST, Marys the county seat Of Camden
and one OF the Oldest towns in the
United States. It is now in a state Of
decay. Il was founded by the Span
iards IN early times. but was nearly all
destroyed by fire during the civil war
After the war Il was partly built up
again and at present 1t has a popula-
ton Of about 400 mostly colored.
II was a beautiful spring morning In
March when we wendell our way along
the road through the tan pine trees. The
farmers were busy planting their corn.
and the birds were singing gaily in the
trees. and certainly ID seemed there was
beauty an around. The little sand ny,
too, was playing an important part.
The insects came on us In swarms and
kept Us busy brushing them OF from
our face and hands.
We arrived I'm town az II n. m, and
made inquiry at once for the mayor,
who. we were told. was not In town; so
we were directed 20 one OF the alder
men. whom we found at work IN his
garden. We talked with him a short
time and gave him a tract and he gave
us some information In regard TO the
town. We soon after this waited on the
mayor. who met us az the door. We in
troduced ourselves 20 him and told him
our business He then said, "Well, gem
tlemen, ! can do nothing for you" We
could not imagine what he
thought We wanted him 10 do for us,
but we politely informed him that we
were not asking for fayors but only
desired 10 honor him In his position;
and all We wanted was our constitution
al rights as American citizens. He In
formed US that we would have 10 wait
tlll he had consulted with the aldermen
We offered him a tract which he re-
fused He asked US to come again
about shutdown In the meantime we
canvassed from house 10 house. A num-
Der OF citizens refused TO take our
tracts and expressed themselves as be-
ing sorry for us We finished our can
yassing about 2;3O p. m.

'tangl." "a sort Of universal mourn
ing).
on Wednesday an Elders meeting
was held, and much valuable advice
given. The meeting commenced at 10
o'clock and the Spirit OF the Lord was
enjoyed til $3.50, when the meeting was
dismissed, and there was not an Elder
who would not have gladly remained
longer So impressive was the inilu-
ence that men who under different cir
cumstances were never known to shed
tear, We're so greatly affected that
the could hardly speak, 70 give vent to
the feelings Of their hearts
A beautiful little present. a Book OF
Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants,
Of special selection, with suitable in
scription In gilt on covers was present
ed 20 Elder Stevenson as a token OF
love and respect by the Elders.
Wednesday evening a concert was
given by the Elders and some Of the
Saints, which seemed to be well re-
ceiyed by the audience. A number Of
Europeans were present who expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
selections.
Much credit Is due Elders Holbrook
and Brown In whose district the confer
ence was held, and Elders Aldousi and
Haun, Of Bay OF Islands district, for
the manner In which things were ar
ranged and carried out, also the Saints
and outsiders OF both districts who 50
literally sustained the same.
We left the Kainga on Thursday re-
turning IN open boats two miles down
the river, where we were picked up by
the little tug Ida and taken TO Opua.
Here we took steamship Clausman for
Auckland The crew on the boat were
"a little inclined to slight us at first, but
we were not long In making friends and
winning their confidence after that
nothing was too good for US IN their es-
timatlon. A concert was held on board
which seemed to have a good effect on
the passengers and crew.
We landed In Auckland early Friday
morning. and Elders ana Saints went
to their different districts rejoicing with
the Spirit Of the Lord burning in their
hearts.
The following week was spent by
Elder Stevenson In arranging and
transferring all records papers. etc. to
Elder Magleby, upon whose shoulders
the responsibility Of the work now
rests.
President Stevenson, with Elder Hol-
brook left Auckland March 9Th for sgd
ney where they viii embark in COM
pany with Elder Barker OF the Aus
tralian mission, for home via Egypt,
