and Gov. and Acts l5, S. Showed
that the Lord knew the end from
the beginning, aud how foolish for
us to begin to build or undertake
anything of importance without
first making the plans and count
ing the cost, for we are so likely
to overdo ourselves. Read the

Elder Orsou F. Whitney said:
ln conversation between two
minister's, one said to the other:
Why is it that people like to hear
ou but don't come to my church,"
Because | am always telling them
low to be saved, while you are al
ways telling them that if they
don't do so and so they will be
damned, The man in the pit and
cannot help himself Christ came
and put down ladder and offered
to help him out, THIS in brief is
the Gospel of Salvation. The first
round of the ladder is Faith. Dis
pensation of the fulluess of times.

Elder Brigham IL. Roberts saids

from our own fDlly, and are large.

SUFDAr SCHOOL CONFERENCE NoTEs
President Joseph +. Smith spoke
on the necessity of Sunday school
officers aad teachers and large
pupils attending Sacramento meet
ings. Was very much surprised
to learn that any should justify
themselves on account of having
been to Sunday school aud stay
jaway from the Sacrament meeting.
Because of this neglect many slept
and some were sick in church.
Said it is no trivial thing but of
vast Importance, We cannot mock
at sacred things. We should not
be over burdened with duties so
that we feel to justify ourselves in
not attending Sacramento meet
ings. BE sure aud let us partake
of the Sacrament with clean hands
aud pure hearts.

lSunday school is: "To know what
to worship and how to worship"
Teachers must have sound morals.
