generation" said Mr.. Kimball There is
nope for them in repentance but / tell
you, my brethren >and sisters, that many
can't repent until they receive the gift
from God. All of the Latter-dav Saints
will be saved, but some will not be saved
so soon as others.
Mr.. Kimball said that one of the worse
failings was the proneness to despise
weakness in others He was for the COS
pei the gospel of helpfulness.
Mr.. Kimb2r told a story of a young sea
man whom ne found on the dock at Ocean

been no difference in the expressions OF

The speaker prayed that the people
would go away and, with the help of
God will put into practice the counsels
which they have heard during the confer

The report of the auditing committee
was then read by Apostle Heber ]. Grant.
r. ". Young offered two resolutions
one to the effect that the report of the
auditing committee be received and a
vote OF thanks rendered the members for
their careful and conscientious work, and
the other to the effect that the church
expresses its full confidence in the finan-
cial administration and the integrity of
| the trustee-in-trust. These resolutions
were passed. The report is as follows:
We. the undersigned. members of the
church auditing committee, beg leave to
reports as follows:
We have carefully audited the financial
reports of the trustee-in-trust, presiding
bishop, the latter comprehending the pre-
siding bishops office, fifty-six stakes of
Zion and fwenty-one missions in the
world: also the Deseret News and the L..
D. s. hospital for the year 1907. The said
reports we found to be very full and COM
plete in every essential, showing care and
accuracy in lie work done, and we were
highly gratified with the systematic,
thorough and bQsinesslike manner in
which the accounts of the church were
kept.
In view Of the financial stringency and
depression of business interests last fall.
almost resulting in panic, We are happy
to report that there is a substantial in
crease in the total amount of tithing paid
for the year 1907 over and above that paid
for 1905. The Latter-day Saints are to be
commended for their faithfulness in the
observance Of the law OF the Lord.
In our examination of the report we
noted with pleasure the fact that gener-
Gus aid was extended by the trustee-in-
trust TO the worthy poor, church schools,
stake and ward meeting houses, mission
meeting houses, mission maintenance,
Latter-day SAINTS hospital maintenance
and Improvements, and for fares OF re-
turning elders from the mission fields.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Your brethren.
