"a matter affecting one OF our charges
is, at the same time, so vitality related
to our whole work as TO justify men
ton in this general report. As is known
TO the members Of the mission, lli1f
church in salt Lake City is located on
a lot next to the northwest corner OF
First South and Ninth East streets.
Some time in the spring past. DIT. I. {.
Tiff sought information as TO Whethe
| the location, the condition, and the
prospects Of this charge were such as
TO justify its maintenance.
/ 1T was made clear 10 him that, as the
| church is more than a half mile from
? a church OF any other Christian denomt-
nation, and more than a mile from any
| other Methodist church, and as il is in
| a residence section Of the city already
| closely built up and which is second 70
no other residence part OF the place
therefore, there is no thought of aban-
) doning our work there.
