Logan, Jan. 2s--The quarterly con-
ference of the Cache stake convened IN
this city Saturday at 10 o'clock a. m
President Isaac Smith presiding After
the usual opening exercises President
Smith reported the stake to be IN fair
ly good condition The members Of thu
stake presidency were working to get
all OF the stake organizations In proper
shape and were quite successful IN their
efforts Generally the Saints were feel
ing well and were living up to their
duties In the Church, The spirit of love
and unity was with the people. The at
tendance at the meeting Of the Saints
In the various wards was far In ad-
vance Of what II was formerly.
Elder George Reynolds OF the First
Council Of Seventy addressed the con-
ference. He had noticed, he said tina,
in looking over the records OF mission
aries sent out last year, that the Cache
stake was doing very well compared
with other stakes. Seven hundred mis-
sionaries had been sent into the field
during the year and yet they were not
nearly enough to supply the demand, as
from every part of the world came calls
for Elders which could not be filed
There seems 10 be desire In the world
20 know more about the faith Of the
latter-day Saints caused partly by the
agitation that has been stirred up
against us during the last year,
Those who oppose us have devoted
their energies OF late to separating the
people from their leaders. To this
end they try To belittle those who are
In authority among the Saints but the
great body OF the Saints are immune
TO such attacks and are not moved or
shaken by the enemy. What the result
of the present agitation may be | know
not but ! know that God will lead us
and will preserve us II we Will rely on
Him our enemies would have disfran-
chised us and driven us out of the coun-
try II they had been able, but they
could not. Satan is not dead. He Is
striving to wreck the kingdom OF God
and will continue his work but the
/ Lords work will go on in spite OF all
opposition. and will finally triumph. II
the Saints obtain the Spirit Of God and
retain It and they will be able 10 with
stand all of the arts OF the adversary"
Elder John f.. Carlisle bore testimony
to what had been said, and compared
the latter-day Church with that organ
lied by the Savior, The enemy of souls

classes, after which Elder George Rey-
nolds spoke Of the great changes that
have been brought about In the world
since the restoration OF the Gospel
through Joseph Smith the Prophet, A
few generations ago the Jews regard
cd the mission OF the Savior with con-
tempt, but mt the present time they
We're viewing It differently. and many
Of them are beginning TO believe in
Jesus Christ just as the Book of Nor
mon predicts they would.
