The Closing Session.

The closing day of the conference
was marked by one of the greatest
gatherings that has ever assembled in
the Temple grounds.
The morning session was devoted to
memorial services in honor of Orson
Pratt the first pioneer of the state,
and the afternoon gathering was aus
picious as the occasion on which the
church authorities were sustained by
the rank and file of the membership.
Overflow meetings in the Assembly
hall and in the open air were neces-
sary that all might worship and take
part in the official proceedings.
In his remarks at the closing ses-
sion. President Joseph F. Smith de-
nounced what he called the "moboc.
racy" of labor. which he declared to
be a menace and peril facing the civ
ilized world today. He invoked divine
aid to the end that laws shall be
passed protecting the lives and liberty
of all the people of this nation from
the rule of mobocracy."
The president grew eloquent in his
final appeal to his assembled flock.
Briefly but with much feeling, he
touched upon many topics of interest
and importance to the members Of the
church and in conclusion voiced many
bits Of sound advice touching the
everyday lives of the Latter-day Saints
He invoked divine blessing upon the
heads of every man, woman and child
within the fold and pleaded that they
walk in upright paths and live true
lives in sight of God and the world

ers and officers was done with an i'm
pressive unanimity. As each name
or set of names was read in stentor,
ian tones by Apostle Heber ]. Grant
and submitted for approval, almost
every person in the vast concourse
raised his or her right hand in silent
vote.
The speakers at the afternoon sas-
sion, besides President Smith. were
Apostle Joseph F. Smith. Jr.. Seymour
B. Young, senior member of the first
council of seventies. and John Smith,
first patriarch OF the church. All con,
fined themselves to doctrinal subjects
bearing testimony to their faith in
the principles of their religion.
