dead are performed and the power OF
God Is felt. He counseled the people

their own hearts, that they may not be
led away by every wind of doctrine.
The latter-day work Is an individual
work and everyone must know for
himself and act for himself In line
with tho organization and revelations
given by the Lord which bring union
and confidence, and In that is the
strength Of the L.atter-day Saints.

who will accept the Gospel. He bore a
faithful testimony of the divinity of the
restored Gospel.
The general and local authorities Of
the Church were presented and unan-
mously sustained.
Elder C., W. Penrose addressed the
Saints He said the spirit of the world
is the spirit of selfshness, but the spirit
Of the Latter-day Saints should be
unselhshness. The people OF God should
exhibit regard for others which Is
true politeness, In the little as we'll as
the great things OF life. He held 1t rs
a most gratifying sign OF the spirit OF
the people of the Weber stake that they
show their faith in the Lord by paying
their tlthlng. IL Is not the amount paid,
SO long as Il Is the tenth of their in
terest, but 1t Is the observance OF the
law 81 God that brings the blessings.
when the people succeed in roofing out
sellisllness and work for others as we'll
as themselves they will be able to live
