SUNDAY SERVICES.
Elders Jos. Robinson and Elias Cory
We're the Speakers.
Deliver Interesting Talks In Sabbath
School. Afternoon and Even.
Ing rieetings

The services last Sunday, both
at the Sunday School and the after
noon and evening meetings, we're of
more than usual interest, largely
owing to the presence OF Elders
Robinson and Cory, both Of whom
had recently returned from the
California mission. The many
friends of Elder Cory were much
pleased to see him among us, and to
note the improvement In him that his
missionary experience has made; and
all lovers OF sound, sincere gospel
talk were delighted with the manner
in which Elder Robinson, president
of the California mission, dwelt
upon the doctrines Of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In addressing the Sunday School
Elder Cory was grateful for the
privilege of again meeting with his
class mates and former associates in
the Sabbath School and advised them
to learn all they could while they
had the opportunity, as they would
find that such knowledge would be
of great benefit to them in their
future lives. AZ he expected to have
the opportunity of attending the
Sunday School regularly, and would
consequently have many chances of
talking to his associates, be felt that
it would not be wise, in view of the
presence of President Robinson,
whom we should not see so often, to
take up much of the time.
President Robinson made an ex-
cellent address to the young scholars
on the subject of obedience to
Parents, Observance of the Sabbath
and the Faithful Performance of
Duties" suiting his language to
the capacity of his youthful AUDITORS,
and was listened to with strict atten-
tion.
Elder Robinson has evidently
learned that in addressing children,
short pithy talks, expressed in simple
Language, are what count, and the
children we're all greatly pleased with
what he had to say to them. To the
older students he bore strong testi
mony to the truth pfl the eospel hs
advocates, and gave tbsm some mos
excsllent advice and counsel.
In the afternoon nesting the tim
was taken up by the same two elders
Bro. Cory delivering short address
at the commencement OF the meeting
expressing his pleasure. in having tn
privilege of again meeting with hi
friends and relatives in the place Q
his birth, and expressing his appreci
alton of the honor conferred upon hir
in being counted worthy of being
messenger of life and salvation to tn
world. He related little of his OK
perience while in the mission field
stating that while away he had ha
the privilege of lsboring first in tn
State of Oregon, and latterly in tn
city of San Francisco. Tho youn
man bore strong testimony to tn
truth OF the gospel he had been pract
ing.
Elder Robinson had enjoyed hi
labors in the California mission yer
much, and had taken much pleasuI
in explaining the gospel to some {
those Sitting in darkness. I" Ga,
some instances wherein his explar
alton of the personality Of God an
His Son and the fatherhood of Go
and the brotherhood Of man ha
brought great JOY to the hearts Il,
some who we're in doubt and III
certainty.
In general way, however, th
people of that part of the world al
, moro interested in making themselv,
, comfortable in this life, than the
are in preparing themselves for
, future existence. Our situation
, this life, the speaker said, 10 nj
doubtedly the result of our condu,
, in former life.
In the evening, by special reques
, Elder Robinson addressed a lars
congregation of young people und,

ment Associations,
