ELDER A. p. KEsIER.
The next speaker was Elder Alonzo
P. Keser, who was called TO address
me members OF the theological classes,
who were present He thought one OF
the most important things to be con-
sldered by the young people was the
study OF the Bible. In studying the
Scriptures they would gain testimony
and would be more capable OF cham
plonIne the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. For
instance. II one would study the Book
Of Isaiah and put its lessons into ef-
feet Il would be impossible for him TO
deny me divinity Of the mission of
Jesus Christ or the latter-day work.
The very SPOT where Christ was TO 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.
APOSTLE IIYRUM NJ SMITH.
Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith was the
succeeding speaker and he began by
saying that the Latter-day Saints are
ESSENTIALLY a meeting going people. and
he ~ not think that anywhere In the
world could be found another people
Nho So loved TO go to meeting. He real
he1 more than ever the necessity OF
NE people meeting together and Twins
Under the influence of the Spirit OF
dod. Tho members OF the Priesthood
a'e in duty bound 10 meet with theil
0uoruins and fellowship with them. The
!peafer expressed the belief that the
lalief-day Sents for the most part
we're trying to keep the commandment
o. ecu lis wds not one TO believe that
ue earth was rotten 10 the core, for ii
was his cOnl iCtlcn that where Their,
was enc man who was wicked In lis
soul, there were hundreds who desired
10 DC good There are young men IN
ue VAnrch, said the speaker, who are
wa ana reckless In their lives. buI
Nhen their energies are once turned In
lhe proper channel they ofttimes exec
thelr companions in good works as they
Formerly did In evil ones. In spite ol
gu their weaknesses and all their fault,
sle Laiter-day Saints are working up
vsia ard their influence Is destined tc
Dc ieli throughout the whole earth.
