tury the visit Of Apostle John Henry Smith and Others 10
President Diaz Of Mexco the appointment of Apostle Hebc
Grant and conborr to open up the mission in Japan and
the dedication Of that country for the proclamation Of the
Gospel the departure of President Snow from this sphere Of
action and the subsequent reorganization of the First Pes
denc with the unanimous vote of the Church at conferences
that will ever be memorable in Church history.
The lesson Of all this is that the world is progressing
under divine superintendent Wars there have always been
but even these horrors are now being modified by the de-
