rill, Woodruff and Smith, were in

Pres. Morrell was glad to meet the
Saints under such favorable condi-

making the roads muddy the snow
was piling up in the mountains and
would prove a blessing next season.

agreeably disappointed for the receipts

centage. Urged the people to pay
their tithing in the season thereof and
not to put it off until the end of the
year.

CONFERENCE AFTERNOON SESSION
:. Elder C. w. Nibley said: 1t is a
good thing to have something that
you can varily believe. A nation is
great only when it has something to
believe. An unbelieving nation is in
state of decay. The gospel teaches
us our duty and helps us to execute it
because Of our belief.
"Ye are not Of the world" said the
Savior to his disciples, "because !
have chosen you out Of the world"
So we are different from the world
because God has shed his spirit upon
us. We cannot say why or how differ
ent we are, yet we know there is
difference. The world also recognizes
that we are different but tEey cannot
explain either how it Is. Tt.c wilma
bloweth where it listeth and we
here the sound thereof but from
whence in cometh or whittier 1t gceth
no man knoweth. / glory in this
work. l know it will dominate the
land. 1t gives me Joy to see it grow
and spread abroad on the earth. We
want the world to know us and to
understand our mission on earth, for
our mission is 'Peacc on earth and
good will to all men,"
Apostle Hyrum Smith said he re-
joiced to be numbered with the Saints
and have an opportunity to testify OF
the truth as we understand 1t. Speak
er related how he felt when called to
the apostleship. He felt too weak to
2 perform the task and assume the re-
sponsibility but he could see no way out
of 1t. The Lord had called him and
he felt it was his duty to obey. This
is the church Of God Satan is aiding
us to spread the truth. The efforts
of our enemies to destroy us is serving
to advertise us and to bring us pro-
minently before the world. We
would not have been half so well
known in the world but Cor their
efforts. Their labors are Of evil in
tent but God overrules them to fur
her his purposes.
The time will come when God will
compel them to acknowledge him.
For every knee shall bend and every
tongue confess that Jesus is The
Christ.
Apostle A. o. Woodruff rejoiccd in
listening to the words Of inspiration
that had been spoken. This is re-
markable work that we are engaged
in. A work that win have terrible
effect upon those who resist it or, arc
indifferent to it. Those who honestly
believe that the gospel Is not true o;
not scriptural ought to oppose It.
There should be no neutral ground as
as to the gospel The gospel had beer
= revealed for the salvation OF the hui
/man family and the testimony of It's
truthfulness had been revealed to u
and we had been made new witnesse:
for God. The speaker asked all thost
