ELDER A. w. WINS.

Elder A. w. Wins of the apostles next
addressed the congregation He began
by quoting a. passage from Isaiah, and
said that it's prediction had come TO
pass that the mountain of the LORDS
house had been established i'll the tops
of the mountains, and the people have
gathered to 1t that they might be
taught in the ways of the Lord and
walk in His paths. This vast assem-
blage of Latter-day Saints Is evidence
that the scripture is true. The way of
tho Lord is righteousness and means
that we shall do those things which
come unto us by way of commandment.
Those Of you who have come up here
IN faith are in tho way of the Lord.
which is the way of righteousness. The
Lord Himself said that unless one were
born of the water and of the spirit
he could not. enter into the way of
the Lord which leads TO the kingdom
of God. The example set by Him,
through baptism, is the way OF life and
He made IL plain that that is the only.
way by which mankind may gain en-
trance into the Kingdom of God. There.
fore. brethren. you who have come up
here that your faith might be increas-
ed, are in the way of the Lord, and you
are fulfilling the prophesy OF Isaiah.
ond you shall learn of those things in
the providence OF the Lord, and of the
gospel which is tho great scheme o.!
| human redemption which has been re-
| vealed In this last dispensation of the.
| fitness of times.
The Lord expects us to learn of Ills
way, and We're men to acuuaint them
selves with the requirements of the
| gospel they would have but little use
| for the courts to adjust difficulties:
| there would be no dishonesty, no false
hood. no drunkenness, for these things
are not the ways of the Lord. Charity
lis one of the most important princi-
| pics of life Not only the giving of
worldly goods to feed the poor, but TO
have love for one another.
There We're two strong races of men

race, which spread over the whole

F., have boon D credit to this enlightened
age, and although their code of morals
| has been attacked, crime was punished
and justice vindicated. The other race
was further to the south, the race of
Incas in South America. The law of
Justice and right was enforced among
| this great people by means of moral
| prscepts, and I say the voluntary ac-

Elder David o. Mckay, second as
sistant general superintendent OF the
Sunday schools. then delivered a pow
errul address on Organization ana
Functions Of the Sunday School Union.
The speaker gave q detailed explains

Sunday school board, giving the func-
ton of each officer and each set OF OF
ficers included in the organization. Inc
board consisted of 20 members. y OF
whom We're present at the meeting last
night, and excuses being received from
the balance. The board is divided or
into different committees, each de-
partment of the school being appor-
toned a certain number. and the men
composing these committees were held
responsible for the work done in their
particular departments in the sunday
schools throughout the world.
These committees, in turn. REQUIRE
responsibility In like manner from tha
Stake boards, and these again from the
local boards, or the Sunday school Of
fcers who do the actual teaching work
in the different classes OF the schools.

has brought the Sunday schools, with
their 100000 pupils. to their present
high state of efficiency. and which
would continue to supply the living
water OF life to those thirsty ones who
attend the sessions OF the Sunday
schools.
The speaker advised every Sunday
school officer and teacher to supply
himself with the Juvenile instructor,
as it is the means of communication

ELDER HEBER j. GRANT.

After the rendition by the choir OF
the hymn Peace, Be Still" Elder He
Der j. Grant of the quorum of the
apostles addressed the congregation.
The theme Of his remarks was in line
| with the addresses of the previous
speakers. namely, an urgent appeal to
the Latter-day Saints to 4 strict OBJ
servancc OF the Word Of Wisdom. No
person can with impunity do that which
God has commanded should not DC
done. Enough money is spent every
year in breaking the Word of Wisdom
to build two sugar factories.
The speaker read from book called
Leaves From the Diary Of an Old
lawyer depicting the evils of in
temperance. These same words, ne
said, he had used many times before
in the various stakes, but he felt that
good would be done by re-reading of
the forceful argument against the de-
mon drink. The unique advertisement
of a Tombstone, Arizona, saloon keep
Ell was also read by Elder Grant.
The Latter-day Saints do not wish
to grow weak and die, but desire to
grow strong and healthy spiritually,
morally and intellectually, said Elder
Grant. He endorsed the stand taken
by the presidency of the Church and
traffic, and the following resolution read
by him was unanimously endorsed by
the conference by a viva voce vote:
"Believing in the words and teach
.ings of President Joseph f. Smith as
set forth this morning on the subject
OF temperance, it Is proposed therefore
that all officers and members of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Datter-day
Saints will do all in their power that
can properly be done, with lawmakers.
generally, to have such laws enacted
by our legislators soon to be elected
as may be necessary to close saloons,
otherwise decrease the sale of liquor,
and enact what is known as the Sun
day law"

Lucas Didn't Conceal Dogs.

A few days ago saw an article
abiding to me in the State Journal,
which advertised me as trying to de-
fraud the city out of dog taxes by
taking dogs to my kennels and board
ing them until the dog catcher had
finished his work and then turning
them back to their owners This is a
mistake. Instead of injurino the city
it has been a great benefit, as every
reader knows that last year the HUI
name society bought thirty-five dogs
of the city, buying them out of the
pound by paying the taxes which
amounted to over $3.50. Then the ami
mails wee placed in these kennels until
the dogs could be placed in homes.
Otherwise the city would have been
put to the expense of shooting them.
Now if any one wishes to put UP some
cash I will cover it and he can have
the pot if he can find single instance
where concealed single dog to keep
him from the dog man.

RECEIVER IS NAMED.
For the Great Western Life Insur-
ance Agency:

Kansas City. Mo-, May 13.-Judge
MeCune in the circuit court here has
appointed William Barton, a local
business man.. receiver for the Great
Western Life Insurance agency. The
company was organized under the
laws of Colorado and it's head offices
are located in Kansas City. A re-
ceiver for the company was recently
appointed at Denver.
The Great Western agency was
originally organized for the purpose
Of soliciting business for insurance
companies. It's organizer, o. l.. Van
Cunningham, later formed the Great
Western Life Insurance company, the
majority of the stock in the new con-
Germ, being held by the agency. The
receiver was asked for by number
of stockholders of the Great Western
agency, who alleged that the organi-
cation of the new company by the
selling of stock to the old one was I'M
fair to the original stockholders.
