When the News" went to press yes
,erday afternoon, Elder Seymour b.
Young was speaking, In addition to his
remarks printed last evening he re-
ferred to the recent discoveries con-
corning the cliff dwellers. He thought
that facts which are apparently mex
plIcable to science. can be sufficiently
explained by the revelations OF God In
the Book OF Mormon. The eruptions
that took place on this continent when
Christ appeared would account for the
great height OF some OF these cliff
dwellings from the ground beneath.
He proceeded to tell OF the instruc-
tons that the missionaries receive be-
fore they depart for their fields Of la
Dor. They are instructed 10 be ylrtuous
a and upright In their conduct, to treat
others, no matter what their faith, with
Il the utmost respect; in brief, 30 keep In
i mind the fact that they represent Gods
\ people He prayed that the Lord would
A 1T th. people to receive Him.
ELDER HYRUM NJ. SMITH,
Il Of the Quorum OF Twelve, was the next
speaker. He reJoiced In the words that
had been already spoken. It had been
said that no religion had all the truth
and oil religions had some truth. This,
no doubt Is true. But the Latter-day
Saints had the assurance that all that
they had in the Gospel Is truth. While
no two men can have the same mater
Ia object, they can have the game
truth
4, called attention 10 the fac. that
every Latter-day Saint In the congre-
CATION could testify, II called upon, to
Tie sane truth.
81 He referred TO the evidences there are
q 70 show that we have the truth. The
n healing OF the sick among US is an evil
tence Of the truth, The sick are heal
81 by the power OF faith, II is some
tines the case, however. that the pray
ers for the sick are not answered. Does
Il this mean that God does not hear these
a Prayers? No. II shows only that the
n prayers are not answered Often earth
n y parents DO not give what their chill
d tren ask for. SO II is with the Lord. He
Knows what Is for the best good OF His
n children
But this was not the only evidence
~ the truth. The Gospel heals the dis
sases OF the nations as easily as II does
The physical imperfectlon OF the peo-
&le' Our missionaries are sent out TO
\ al parts Of the world to do this--to
orer the world universal remedy for
their Ills.
Another point which he regarded az
m evidence Of the truth OF the Cos
pel Is the wonderful organization Of
n 'he Church. In very short time, be-
cause Of the perfection OF this organlza-
,on, the First Presidency can commun-
,,a'e With every member Of the Church,
When We look at the breadth and ex-
+ ,s1t OF this work. II can the more read
be believed that God Is -omnipres-
n Wrought TO be thankful for the great
n truths which we have received, We
cannot feel too grateful for the mercy
600 10 US. let us never sacrifice
n ne truth, and add TO what truth we al
ready have. let us work Cor the saliva
uon OF the souls OF our children as well
y ior those Of the world" He prayed
may The blessings Of God might be
y with the Saints.
Il :, The choir and congregation sang:
n now nm a foundation, We Saints OF the
n Lard,
" lald for your faith in His excellent
word
