ELDER c.. A. CALLS.
There is in the worship Of the AL
mighty something that mcllows the
spirit and gladcens the heart. said
Elder Calls, the first speaker. Whcr-
ever the children Of God meet the same
sweet influence Is felt The man who
himself, can have no JOY. Happiness
aud peace are found only by those who
ere found working for the welfare OF
Others who are interested In the uplift-
ing of humanity.
A knowledge OF the gospel Is spread
ing among the nations. The doctrine
taught by the Savior that be who would
have eternal life must DE self-sacrihc-
inc, is realized 20 a considerable extent
Men find no lasting peace I'm seeking

ilinishes. Doctrines preached first in
the last dispensatiOn BY the Prophet
Joseph Smith now form the theme for
many a sermon la the Christian pulpits
OF the day.
Joseph smith proclaimed the doctrine
anew that man is created On the im-
age Of God. Talk about Mormonism
being depravedl Nothing is farther
FROM the truth. Great men of the
world today are teaching the very prin-
clples for which he lived and died. The
D
persons who sought for glory shall bee
forgotten

Dis heart must be pure. The issues Of
lie proceed from the heart II men
and women are filled with the Spirit
OF God, their natures viii be tempered
and even their physical forms VIII
change and take on the resemblance of
holy beings, more and more. Every
good gift given TO man Is intended by
tire Creator TO be used for the bet
termont Of mankind, and men and
women should act and work and vote
for that which is intended to elevate
the human family, and should have the
courage TO do that which Is right, with
out fear or favor.
There Is no freedom in dissipation
nor In any kind Of evil doing There
is a vast difference between freedom
and license. The gospel IS a perfect
law Of liberty. ana under its banner
no form ii iuiquity can find shelter.
In conclusion Elder calls bore a fer
vent testimony of the truth Of tho
Gospel OF Christ as taught by the
Latter-day Saints.
ELDER A. w. WINS.
Elder Wins read the concluding arti-
Gle of faith Of tho Church OF Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. Honesty,
honor, virtue and temperance, De said,
were the trend OF The remarks OF the
previous speaker. Men and women
with these Ideals are what Elder Calls
would have. Many such teachers are

On the image OF God, endowed with the
attributes Of his Creator. OF him was
