Of the conference was the flower and nag
festival by the children Of the Sunday
schools OF the Salt Lake stake.
In this flag and song festival every
Sunday school took part, and there were
thirty numbers on the program. The pro-
gram was cleverly arranged to tell the
story of the life Of the Mormon prophet,
Joseph Smith. and to instin into the
youthful minds reverence Tor the
American flag. The tabernacle was
beautifully decorated, all the work
having been done by the little children.
The front Of the gallery was draped in
blue and white bunting, and at each crest
of the decorations were clusters OF Amer
lean flags and sego lilies; THROUGHOUT
the building the flags Of all nations were
displayed The large organ was hidden
behind a big American flag, and in front
of Il was large portrait OF Joseph smith
At the meeting in the tabernacle IN the
afternoon the speakers were Apostles Hy-
rum NJ Smith and John Henry Smith,
George r. Emery. counselor TO Nepm l.
Morris. president of the stake, presided
Apostle John Henry Smith made an ad-
dress on patriotism, reverence for the
flag and the observance of the Sabbath
In mis- talk Hyrum NJ. Smith said the
Mormons should not seek amusement on
Sundays; On this subject he said; Il
wish 70 sound a protest on the excessive
running after the pleasures or the world.
In doing this men lose sight Of the wOr-
ship of God. and He viii cause those TO
repent who spend the Sabbath in search
OF pleasure. our people should devote the
Sabbath to rest and to God l thank God
that he set aside one day out of the seven
for rest, and men should make use OF this
blessing. Companies should not allow
their men to work on Sundays, as this
day has been set aside as day Of rest
