TOALL INTERESTED in SILK CUlTIPE

The Utah silk commission take pleas
ure in again notifying the people OF our
state that the iieason for raising silk
worms is here again. and that we are
prepared to send silk worm eggs to
those who desire to engage In this in
dustry this yeas We have already re-
ceiyed many letters from those who in
tend taking up the work this season,
and hope those who have raised silk in
the past Will continue TO do so in the
future as their past experience will aid
them to add much to the quality OF the
cocoous they raise this year. We also
advise those engaging in this work 10
use the pamphlet Of instruction issued
by the commission, as many failures In
the past have been due to the use OF
other books. We must remember that
this high and dry climate Is very dit.
ferent to most silk producing countries.
this Is one reason why we have so much
better results when we understand how
TO take advantage OF these conditions.
We are pleased to inform the public
that an effort is being made in Congress
TO assist those who are interested In
this work, also that line of scientific

Afternoon Session.

2 p. m
The choir and congregation sang;
Redeemer Of Israel,
Our only delight
OF whom for blessing we call.
Our shadow by day
And our pillar by night,
Our King, our Deliver. our all
Prayer by Elder Anthony WINS.
The choir sang:
Though deepning trials throng your
way,
Press on, press on, ye Saints Of God!
Ere long the resurrection day
VIII spread Its light and truth
abroad
Elder b. H. Roberts. Of the presld-
ing quorum Of Seventy, was the first
speaker in the afternoon. He was
happy In the reflection that this morn
ing's congregation was the largest that
he had witnessed at the opening OF any
conference; and also In the statements
OF President Smith concerning the
prosperity Of Gods work. The work OF
God was going on with an Irresistible
force. He could not but look on with
somewhat Of exultation at the defeat
which the enemies OF the Church meet
with on very hand. New fields are
opened In distant lands. He rejoiced
In all these things.
The Lord had promised to bring
about His purposes not only among the
Saints but also among the people Of
the world. He read from the Book OF
Mormon concerning the work which the
Lord would do among all nations. The
speaker could see evidences that this
work was already started. He In
stanced one OF these evidences In the
fact that a few years ago the world
was shocked at the atrocities perpetrat-
ed upon the Jews. Then a suggestion
was offered that Il would be a good
thing for the Jews 20 be restored to
their home. II is astonishing 10 see
how this Idea has grown lie went
on TO trace the development OF this
idea 10 its present proportions.
A few years ago there were only
about 10000 or 1900 Jews in the whole
Of Palestine; now there are between
80. 900 and $4,000.
This great work established through
the Prophet was connected with all the
great world movements; and all IL pre-
paring the world for the coming OF
Christ. I'VE are connected with q
work." said the speaker that nils the
present and encompasses the past and
future. | thank God for the bigness
and the greatness OF the work"
ELDER SEYMOUR d. YOUNG,
u the same quorum. next addressed the |
conference. He spoke OF the great mis-.
sionary work. We have several hun |
ired missionaries abroad preaching the
Gospel. The young men are having /
better opportunities now to prepare /
themselves for missionary work than /
he young men Of the past. In all the i
church school there are mis-
sionary classes. the special object OF
which Is to train young men In the
Gospel. Here they are taught theology /
and languages and good manners. and
else that will conduce to
good presentation OF the Gospel. In the
Saints university there was
organized a night olass In
