emies of the Mormon church: a 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 a general invitation to
Gentiles to come to Zion to receive
| the faith.

opening of the conference, the first
presidency continued the roll OF mem
bers of the first seven presidents OF
