The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1908-08-12

we can procure many nurses who are
not Latter.day Saints, but we think
We ought to get our own girls TO work
10 the hospital, but the great difficulty
Is that when they work little while
lyou know we are marrying people,
and we want our girls to get married)
and when they get well started In
their work they up and get married.
Now, we have got to fiji our hospital
in month. We can get all the non.
Mormon help we wish. We would like
the presidency Of this stake and the
bishops OF the various wards here to
kindly find out II there are any good,
young, strong, ambitious ladies to
take a course In nursing for three
years who desire to enter the Latter
day Saints hospital. We want ten or
twelve or fifteen or something like
that before the first Of September. II
we cannot get Mormon girls we will
have to take those who are not Nor.
mons and we don't want to do that,
so hope the efforts will be successful
in getting number Of young ladies Of

II rejoice very much Up this confer.
ence and in the spirit In which the In
structions have been given. We have
received a wonderful feast Of admobi.
tion. As Brother George A. Smith
said this morning, 10 the sustaining
OF our physical bodies we partake Of
Of food every day; three times day,
and pretty much the same kind Of
food and we have to eat 1t over and
over again, and so II we keep life In
our spiritual bodies we must eat and
eat the spiritual food over and over
again and II we are hungry for it and
IL we are doing our duties 10 the
church we will 90 away from tie
meetings that we attend, even though
we hear nothing but the very simple
testimony Of some humble brother or
sister. feeling refreshed In our spirits
Even though 1t has only been said
that we are engaged In the work Of
the Lord, and that Jesus was the
Christ, the Son Of the Living God, and
that Joseph Smith was his prophet;
even though that alone was said, yet
1t Is refreshing and wholesome and
beneficial to our spiritual bodies. So
1t Is necessary for US to partake Of
this food; the same kind Of food;
prayers every day, meetings all the
time, many, many meetings, the same
instruction practically to a great ex.
tent and then II we hunger and thirst
for righteousness we shall be filled
with II.
1--WE have been told here In this con.
ference that the Latter.day Saints are
a good people, yet we are not what
we should be, we are not what we
could be. There are many evils
amongst US which could be easily
eradicated. President Smith and
Brother George A. Smith and myself
and others recently went into Oregon.
One Of the first things that attracted
the attention OF the brethren when
they got TO Union County, a county Of
some twenty odd thousand people as I
remember, was that the chief town,
a railroad town such as Pocatello is,
haa svue dry, as they call II, that the
town OF lie Grande was voted dry, and
i thought that here in college city
like Logan with as good a people as
you are, where you invite the children
from abroad to come to our colleges
and schools here in this city, TO such
attracLiveness, to sucn educational
facilities, such musical culture as
there is here, why be cursed with
these saloons? What is the need Of II?
or course the good Latter.day Saints
keep the word OF wisdom and don't
foster and sustain them, yet they are
sustained; they ought to be abolished,
Our outside friends are not half as
good as we claim TO be, why Is II we
are shown an example that puts US to
shame in this respect? j refer TO what
President Smith said here three
months ago. He said"I defy any man
living to point out to me where auy
