ELDER A. p. KEsLER.
The next speaker was Elder Alonzo
p Kesler who was called TO address
,he members Of the theological classes.
who were present He thought one OF
the most important things to be con-
sdered by the young people was the
study Of the Bible. In studying the
Sculptures they would gain testimony
and would be more capable OF cham
pIonlne the Gospel OF Jesus Christ. For
instance. II one would study the Book
Of Isaiah and put it's lessons into ef-
feet Il would be impossible for him to
deny the divinity Of the mission of
Jesus Christ or the latter-day work.
The very SPOT where Christ was 10 be
horn and the names He should bear,
We're predicted BY the ancient prophet;
and these, together with His life's
works md words. mark Him as some
thing more than human.

God Tho members OF the Priesthood
aIe In duty bound 10 meet with their
aaoruils and fellowship with them. The
!peaFef expressed the belief that the
llei-day Se!nts for the most part
were trying TO keep the commandment
o. Cod, Hs was not one TO believe that
ne earth was rotten TO the core, for Il
vas his conliotlcn that where there
was enc man who was wicked In lis
SOUL there were hundreds who desired
70 % good. There are young men In
We CAnreh said the speaker. who are
wa ana reckless In their lives. but
Nheh Their energies are once turned In
lhe proper channel they ofttimes excel
,helr companions in good works as they
IV.IIeriy did In evil ones. In spite OF

tne Latter-day Saints are working up
