PRESIDENT W. G. PARKINSON
said: ] have enjoyed my visit with
the people of the First ward today
very much. met those keeping re-
cord this morning, and can say there
is great improvement In this direc-
ton. The First ward records are the
best have seen in the Stake, that is
the genealogical records. In looking
over the rolls there Is an average
attendance of so per cent in all your
organizations. This is 10 per cent bet
ter than the Stake records showed
last year. The poorest attendance,
according to your records is with the
Elders Quorum, and Relief society.
l am we'll pleased with the attendance
here today and If your meetings are as
well attended as this one, you will
compare favorably with any ward in
the Stake.
The people of Hyrum have been
burdened with buildings and improve
ments and you will be burdened for
some time. have actually been try.
ing to get the church authorities to
make appropriations towards these
buildings, and expect to continue my
labors in this direction. / believe we
have improved since the old Cache
Stake was divided. Every ward in
Our Stake has improved and are doing
we'll now. We want to advance some
of our young men into the Seventy's
Quorum so that we can have more
missionaries from that Quorum.
You should give more attention to
the education of the young men and
Young women. The day we are living
In calls for education, and we should
take advantage of the opportunities as
they present themselves. i have
noticed. in this Stake that there Is
room for improvement by way Of be.
ing loyal to yourselves, i have motto.
ed In my travels that there is great
deal of travel over the roads TO Logan
and you are running there with the
money you have earned by hard labor
on your farms, in keeping cows, and
in various ways, Did you ever hear
Of Logan coming here to spend money!
No. never did, and you are not
loyal TO yourselves and your town
when you trade elsewhere for things
you can get here. ! would not bt
afraid to guarantee that II you trade
here with your own merchants
through the year you can buy just as
cheaply and that you will get just as
good values for your money as you
can in Logan. If you want to hire a
man to work look for man in your
own town. If you want to buy a
horse, purchase it from your neighboi
who has one TO spare and build ul
your own town. III Is suicidal to run
to Logan with your means. am not
saying this for the benefit of the mer.
chants altogether but ! believe in be-
ing loyal to my own town. We are
living in the center Of a Stake, and
we should remember that we are ex
pected to build up our town and our
selves, and draw the other wards this
way. Patronize your merchants here
at home, and give them an opportun
ity to stock up, and thereby meet
your requirements.
He then spoke of the great work tc
done by the missionaries in the world
and admonished the young people tC
