MIDDLE STATES MISSION.
A Conference OF Elders Presiding
In That Field.

Elder c, H. Hyde sends this commun.
ication from Cincinnati. Ohio, April rs.
A conference Of the Elders presiding
over the various conferences in the
Middle States mission was held at the
mission headquarters, April 2jth and
26th 1908. There were In attendance
at the several meetings held. Elder Ben
II. Rich, president OF the mission Eli

present the Elders laboring In this city:

and John =. Smith as canvassng Ell
ders, and c. II. Hyde and Edgar Perry.
secretary and corresponding secretary
respectively. OF the mission.
President Rich spoke Of the purposes
Of the meeting and stated that great
benefits had been derived from such
conferences In the past, and that h.
expected as much from this one. He
desired all the presidents to give q re-
port of the general plans under which
they have been working and the most
successful manner in which they were
able TO get the Gospel before the peo-
pie.
Elder Rich suggested that hereafter
conferences be held In the country dis
tricts among the Saints. believing that
more good would result therefrom. This
was formerly the rule, but OF recent
years they have been held IN the larger
cities because the newspapers and Sec
tartan ministers had declared that we
were afraid 20 hold them in the cities.
but our experience has shown that the
people Of the cities are afraid Of us.
and win not come out to hear our testi-
monies.
Each OF the conference presidents
gave a report Of the work done and
being done In his field OF labor. As a
rule the Elders in the country are ira
yelling without purse or scrip and are
very energetic IN their work. The ef-
forts OF the Elders In the past two or
three wears have been devoted 10 the
dietrlbution OF tracts, selling OF books
and holding meetings among strangers
mostly. and those who had accepted
their testimonies were left too much 70
themselves and all felt the necessity
OF building up the faith OF the saints.
Each conference has special Elders as
signed TO labor among the Saints. but
il was the verdict that the working
force is TOO small for the country 10
be worked. Great announcement was
manifest at the prospect for the work
OF the coming year, and i is the aim
that more Sunday schools be Organized

Elder A. c. Baker writes from Ster-

as follows
Much has been said about the western

man was in danger of his life. Such
reports are untrue. My companion and

people.
This county (Sterllng) )has been or

been a killing In II since its organza-
ton, and but two cases OF stealing,
The capital Of the county has but 450
inhabitants. They have no Jail. be-
cause they have no need for 1t. Every
body minds his own business
Many rumors are afloat Of the rough
element Of this part, but we have found
It the most peaceful part Of Texas we
have been in ms yet This is dry and
healthful locality, lying along the east
side OF the plains, and Is very much
adapted for stock raising. Many good
people Of the south are looking for

Elder VIM. b. Osborne. In a letter
dated Sioux Falls, South Dakota, May
9, reports as follows,
The Elders who are laboring In
South Dakota met In the city OF Sioux
FANS TO hold conference, on the 25th
and 26th OF April.
Elder Joseph A. McRae, president Of
the Colorado mission, OF which this Is a
part, was present, and at our PRIEST
hood meetings, which were held Fri
day ad Saturday, gave us some very
valuable Instructions. The first public
meeting was held Saturday evening
the 25th. at which some OF the prlncis
pies OF the Gospel were explained,
The South Dakota conference, which
IS presided over by Elder Andrew An
derson, Is comparatively a new field
which was opened up by Elders Andrew
Anderson and Elder Joseph w Haws
about one year ago. Since that time
the work has been progressing nicely,
many friends having been made OF
those who were, at first. very much
opposed to us and the message that we
have for them.
Since the last october conference six
Elders have been laboring In this state,
most OF their time having been spent
IN Sioux Falls. distributing books and
tracts.
Quite number Of meetings have
been held on the streets, with an at
tendance Of from 50 to 300 people. Some
little disturbance was made at our first
meetings. but after the people were
convinced that we would not contend
with them, only those who desired to
listen came out
A few cottage meetings also have
been held. which were well attended,
and we feel that some good has been
accomplished by the same.
