APOSTLE TEAsDALE.
Apostle George Teasdale said, ] am
deIIghted 10 be with you this day and
see You partake OF brotherly and Sis
tarrly love. There Is no people on earth
that has the same love for each other
ms the Lattcr-day Saints. We has
chosen the higher and better life and 1t
is natural that there should be an af-
Unity between us, for we are all labor
ing for truth and righteousness and for
our salvation and 10 obtain our part In
the resurrection Of the just. II Is worth
living for All that the Lord asks Of MS
Is 10 be natural. 1t Is natural TO rev.
orpnce our Creator who has given US
life and being. | love to live notwith-
standing the yicissiudes Of life. There
is something to live for and always
something In the future, The wisdom or
the world Is as fooishness unto God,
and II is foollshness to many OF us, as
for Instance the idea that we are married
until death doth us part and then
there is an end to It and we are to be
as angels IN heaven and to worship a
God who sits on topless throne. have
never been able to express my graft
tude TO God for living upon the earth
I'm this day and dispensatlon. The Lord
took me In my boyhood and he has had
me IN his hands ever since, He has
been as u dear father unto me. never
do anything without first consulting
him We sometimes think our schooling
here Is too bad, or too hard, or too diff
fcult. Not at all. 1t Is for our good,
We must learn 20 suffer so as to be
able to sympathize with others. We are
10 be tried until we can say Father,
Thou doest all things we'll He talks
unto US as a familiar friend, never as
II we were temporal beings, but as
eternal beings. We are as eternal as
lie Is In spirit and He viii give unto us

The words Of hymn are now ringing
In my ears, 1t Is q glorious one | will
sing II to you
Brother Teasdale then sang a hymn
beginning, An Angel from the Upper
Heaven and the assembly Joined in
the chorus, let the Saints Prepare
to meet Him, The Son OF God will
come"
The speaker then continued: Let us
hope that when that time shall come we
shall be ready 20 meet Him which
ask through Jesus Christ. Amen. So,

ELDER STANFORD ,TALKs.e
Elder Joseph stanford Of the High
Council addressed the Saints, have
enjoyed this meeting together. the ex-
ercses rendered and the speeches de-
livered' The great Pleasure we have in
meeting together | attribute to the al
vine influence which proceeds from the
Father In heaven. People that meet
with pure motives with chaste and
pure thoughts can but invite the pres
ence Of this divine power / thought
while President Snow was speaking OF
hts experiences how like is the experl-
ence Of all those who work and labor
IN the ministry Of this Latter-day dis
pensation, and why should II not be so?
There Is no Joy so great to the humble
heart as that brought by the expert
ence OF the missionary. To know that
he has communion with the heavens
which gives him knowledge, which
qulckens his perceptlve powers and de-
Yelopes true genius and manhood. To
know that he Is in fellowship
with such spirit is grand and
glorious. Here he finds his re-
compense for all his labors. As we
advance and develop the things Of God
untold 10 our view and the brightest
conceptions Of the future are given un-
70 us To think that our existence
mere is but the continuation Of that
We have had above and to see the in.
luence OF that previous existence de-
Yelop now and then IN this life In
prophecy and dreams. In manifestations
ana testimonies and revelations, is glo-
rlous. AS we build on the foundation
OF righteousness and make our lives
pure before God, so will this divine
power Increase until we possess II in
us iullness. And yet what we enjoy to-
gay Is as II Il were but a shadow Of the
substance that will follow us In the
future, When we consider that we
have IN our midst Prophets and Apos-
Ties Of God who are not myths but are
realities whose blessings are felt,
whose prophecies come to pass. we
must feel that glorious blessings have
indeed been vouchsafed to us. He
.eit that good would come to this
stake OF Zion through this reunion and
Pee prayed that greater unity and
strength would come 10 the people to
'he working Of good and the eradlca-
inn OF cyil He believed that II
would Introduce a leaven in our midst
which would cause us TO rise In
strength 10 move forward the work OF
God In each part Of this Stake. He
hoped that this reunion would be only
iha beginning Of many others to fol-
low.
