President Smith said the parents in

Old but often FOR their whole life. Then
President Smith became emphatic I'm his

One thing / deplore and that Is that

walks but see from one TO a dozen or
more little boys. boys in their teens. with
pipes OF tobacco in their mouths putting
away in the street. I think when I
see them what pity and what a shame!
How foolish and how imbecile; how use

Deplores IntoXication.
"IntoXication. l want to say TO YOU
that We deplore the existence of this
thing in any community anywhere. and
we deplore the fact that i, may possibly

How to Cultivate Land.
Agricultural methods said President
smith are far from what they should
be. lie urged the Saints 10 study mod
ern methods.
Il think it is wisdom for US as agri-
culturists TO study agriculture and TO be
come able TO produce as much out of an
acre Of ground as the heather Chinec can
or any other people In the world.
do not see why we can't learn 10 culti-
vatc the soil as ntelligcntly and as pro-
ltably as any other class of people in
the world and yet II is well known
fact that up TO the present time we have
not devoted that attention. that care,
that thoughtfulncss or that intelligence
to agriculture in our country that we
should have done, and that we are now
learning TO do by the aid Of schools
where men who desire TO follow agrlcul.

Non-Tithe Paying Record.
President Smith eXhorted the Saints
to pay their uthing In order that the
work OF building more meeting houses
might proceed. lie said the authorities
kept n book In which appeared the list
OF nOn-tithc payers. ana some OF inc
names in this book, he SAID would as
tonlsh the congregation
''It Is true we are building meeting
houses all over the land; that is, We
are helping to; we cant do 1t all. We
are not in ii position yet 10 do even han
OF Il. but we are helping hundreds OF
our wards 10 build meeting houses ac-
cording to the means that we have we
cxpecL to continue TO do II. but there
arc a large number Of people In the
church whose names ar recorded IN
book and you would be surprised. / am
sure, 10 see that book, who are recorded
there under the heading OF non-uthe
PAYERS; a large number of them, ana
i believe really and truly that II all
these that are recorded In the book as
nom tithe payers would pay anything
