The second day of the eighty-third
annual conference of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was
devoted to addresses by mission and
stake presidents. Only one address
was delivered by a high official of the
church. That was a brief talk at the
opening of the forenoon session by
Apostle George Albert Smith.
The stake presidents and mission
presidents, with one exception, repre-
sented the younger men in the minis
try All of them were of the third and
fourth generations, a fact which was
dwelt upon as indicative of the con-
tinuation of the faith throughout the
generations President Joseph F.
Smith remarked that while most of
those who had spoken were of the
third or fourth generation, he could
produce at least a dozen of the fifth
generation, who are just as good as
| am"
The burden of the addresses of
stake and mission presidents was that
the church is growing steadily, and
that the spirit of its members is un-
fiinching. They each and every one
agreed with the remarks of the
church president on Friday when he
declared that the evasion of duty and
the Sinking of responsibilities on the
part OF some of the heads of organiza-
tons must cease. 1t was stated that
the duties of each, from the highest to
the lowest, was defined in revelation,
and any who did not observe that

A great many of the Fourth of July
