president OF the Eastern States mis-

expressed himself as feeling stronger in
being surrounded by his brethren and
sisters whose hearts beat In unison with
his own, He spoke Of the difficulties
that Elders experience IN preaching the
Gospel to the people Of his district. II
II We're not for the testimonies which
they have, they would become so dis
couraged as to give up I'm despair. Re-
Gently the press had carried the mes
sage of truth into the homes Of the rich
and poor alike; for the pictures OF the
Elders and the articles of faith were
sought for by the papers. Hence, the
elders are more successful than In the
past. He called attention to the extent
to which the names Of the Prophet JOS
eph and the "Mormons' is known, and
the difficulty Of anything. whether good
or eyil. becoming known everywhere,

that they We're a clean-living set Of
men by their cOunienances The Saints
therefor have reason 10 be proud Of
their missionaries. They have right
to expect this kind Of living Of the
Elders. But, on the other hand, the
Elders abroad have n right TO expect
the same kind OF living OF the Saints at

ing in the Tabernacle, there was a
meeting in the Assembly Hall, another
I'm the Information Bureau. and yet the
people who came TO conference could
not be accommodated. Zion surely Is
growing.
He was pleased also with the charac-
ter OF our worship at the conference.
The prayer was always judging by the
response to II, prayer In the real
sense OF the word, one which came from
the congregation This is the prayer
which the Lord will hear from his as
sembled Saints
The Lord has commanded us to pray
always, not only in our hearts, but In
public. Prayer is not something for
Sunday, but for every day, Draw near
unto me" he quoted. "and ! will draw
near unto YOU" There Is no dubiety
about these words, In praying 10 the
Lord. therefore, we are not invoking
someone that Is afar of or that Is so
taken up with other things so that he
cannot attend to our prayers, The Lord
knows what Is going on, not only on
this earth. but IN all the universe; yet
he condescends to say to the poorest
and humblest Of his Children Draw
near unto me, and ] will draw near UNI
to you II is important that we pray:
for there are two powers In the world
each contendlng for our souls, the one
good and the other evil, The success OF
these powers depends upon our attitude
TO the one or the other respectively,
Jesus told Peter that the devil desired
Peters soul that he might sift II as

In this connection he called attention

TO prayer. our prayers will in like
manner be answered upon the heads Of
this people He concluded by asking
the Lord to bless the conference.
