his life from that time on there was
no need of the sncri1ce OF human.l ife.

GOSPEL STOOD THE TEST.


Elder William H. seegmilcr. former
~ president of Sewer stake. was called
as the next speaker. II know that the
gospel is the word of God" he said in
bearing his testimony of the work of
the Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter
day Saints. II learned It when was
boy. In 1861 ! first heard 1t preached
by Mormon elders and investigated 1t.
I also read some literature In some
magazines at that time which was cal
cuated to influence me and al others
test. however, and ! embraced 1t and
offered myself for baptism. After /
was baptized ] received the Inspiration
OF tho gospel and l felt that. my sins
were forgiven and that Joseph Smith
was prophet OF God.
.Since that time have spent consid-
era BILE time at home and, abroad IN ad-
vnncing the work of the gospel OF Jesus
Christ which believe to be the word
Of God.
For 81 years 7 was associated with
the presidency of Sewer stake and
many changes have taken place since
that time. In the early days that coun-
try was known rs the greascwood coun-
try. The first settlers who went there
we're moor and worked hard to make
living from the land The Indians mar
ra ssed them and many OF them became
dissatisfied and wanted to leave.
."Rut now things have changed. Tho
people who live In that county are
prosperous and happy. They made the
country profitable by their work and
,I,cv have been blessed by God. There
is plenty of good land in that country
now where homes can be buiit ana
people can live in peace and happiness.

friends that If he had the power he
would communicate from that world
to this to let them know he was there.
The power of the Holy Ghost tells us
that there Is communication between
the worlds, but not to crafty the curl
osity of man. Such communication
comes In an orderly manner and to
the accomplishment of some useful pur-
pose. Tho testimony of the witnesses
to the Book of Mormon was not given
for the satisfaction of the curiosity OF
men, but that the witnesses might tes-
tify to mankind of great truth, of
the divinity Of the Book OF Mormon
and the truthfuness of the gospel. We
know the gospel to be the truth be-
cause Of the testimony of the spirit, and
not because of the testimony or actions
OF any man.

Elder Joseph f. Taylor said he felt
that while many would have preferred
going into the tabernacle during the

utterances of the brethren who had

ELDER LEVI EDGAR YOUNG.

Elder Edgar Levi Young Of the First
quorum OF seventy, was the next
speaker. He said he rcjoiced In tho
opportunity afforded him for the first
tinic In many months to attend the
meetings of tile general conference. 1t
Is the duty of the Saints. the speaker
said, to live up to the law. both of God
and of man. Obedience to the law of
God makes II man live his higher and
noblcr self; obedience to the law OF
man makes him free, and raises him
up to the highest type of citizenship.
The more we live up to the law the
frcer we become, the more Intelligent
we are and the better Interpreters of
The great need Of humanity, us ex-
pressed by one of the foremost profess
sOrs of Berlin university. Is the up
lifting of the common man. ana the
causing every human being to see divin-
ity and It's power. Our souls are divine
and the organized intelligence We pos
sess means that we Will so onward to
perfection. Mormon!sm Is today a Won
der In the world; It seeks out the hooks
and crannies a great professor in an
Austrian university recently gave n
thesis upon the growth of Morlnonsm
In America, in which he said that It
was one OF the great forces with which
the world would have to reckon. We
arc only the people of God. declared
the speaker. as we live God, and live
our best selves. Behind all stands the
power to know. to love and to worship
God because he is God and our Father.

know we should, for every day Is a. day

the Northwestern States mission, said
the sweetest Joy Of his life came
through attending the conference meet
ings OF the Church. He gave some sta
tistics of the progress of the work In
the northwest for the last six months
year in which he said that there had
been an Increase OF 100 per cent In
Book OF Mormon sales. 200 per cent m
crease in sale of tracts and other
works. and 100 per cent increase In
tbiptisms. We find that many people
in the world have little or no confidence
in the Bible, declared Elder Ballard.
Statistics show l.,,. a... wy. "" lt
of the $4,000, 600 inhabitants of the Uni
ted states profess Christianity. Many
pcople whom we meet do not believe IN
4 the divinity of the Scriptures, and It
appears to me that one OF the greatest
slabors OF the Mormon missionaries IN
the future will be to teach the divinity
of the holy Scriptures. MOrlnonism,
however, IL not dependent upon scrip
ture for it's substantiation: the reveal
tons of the present day, which, ike
all of Gods works, are in harmony
with his revelations OF former days, are
but combinations OF his truth already
upon the earth; but they are sufficient
Slpon which to proclaim the salvation or
mankind, gained through the sacrifice
made by Jesus Christ, the Son OF GOD, !.
The speaker bore strong testimony
Of his knowledge of the divinity of the
gospel. When the Savior said TO ms
Father, "Thy will, not mine. be done,
ho had gained the limit of achievement
and bowed completely to tho Will OF tho
father. and decided not in favor of his
own desires, but in favor of the saliva
