knowledge of the truth.
At the Friday sessions of the confer
ence, the features were the denuncia-
ton of the unfair tactics used by en-
emies of the Mormon church; warn
ing against the voicing of accusations
against the general authorities by
members Of the church; counsel to
live clean and upright lives; the
prophesy that the Mormons would yet
sweep over the nation eastward in
victory; and general invitation to
Gentiles to come to Zion to receive
the faith.
Following the system adopted at the
opening of the conference, the first
presidency continued the roll OF mem
bers of the first seven presidents OF
seventies Friday, finished them and
called upon FIVE OF the apostles during
the days session.
During the morning session ]. Col
den Kimball and Brigham H. Roberts
both of the seventies, made interest
ing addresses, especially Elder Rob
erts, who traced the history OF the
church and spoke for more careful
investigation of the Mormon faith by
the outside world, rather than gen
eral criticism and ridicule without rea-
son.
In addition to these two speakers,
the conference members heard Apos-
tie Joseph F. Smith, Jr., youngest OF
the quorum of twelve, and Apostle
Anthony w. Ivens, in the morning ses-
sion.
During the afternoon addresses
we're made by Apostles David o. Nc
Kay, Orson F. Whitney and George F.
Richards.
It had been expected that some OF
the public questions would be taken
up by the conference at the session
which closed Sunday, but there was
nothing in this regard-only matters
deeply concerning the church being
considered.
1t is estimated that $4,000 people on
Sunday listened to addresses m the
tabernacle, assembly hall and in front
| of the bureau of information building
in the temple grounds, and sustained
all OF the general authorities OF the
j church by unanimous vote.
| In sustaining the general officers OF
the church. members of the organiza-
ton who had come from many states
made no change in the personnel as
1t existed at the last conference, with
the exception of Mrs. Emmeline B.
Wells, who succeeded Mrs. Bathsheba
Wilson Smith as president of the Re-
lief society of all the world.
| otherwise, the general authorities
