MOntana where he resided for 10
years, after which he came to
this place arriving here on the
5th OF November 1875 where he

Quarterly
Conference
Brings Crowd.
VERY PROFITABLE SESSIONS HELD

which held its first session Sat
urday morning at the Opera
House in Burlev was attended
by a large gathering. After the
usual opening exercises Pres. w.
I. Jack gave a report of the con-
dition of the Stake, conhning his
remarks mainly to the statistics
as compiled by the State Clerk
at the close of the year.
During the last year he said
the report showed that the birth
rate per one thousand population
i'll the Cassia Stake was 43 be-
ing the highest ever recorded and
the death rate was 6 2i5 per one
thousand population Both of
these figures are far better than
those recorded any where in the
world and were the result of pro
per living.
The low death rate he believed
to be the result of living the law
of the Church known as the
"Word OF Wisdom" or in other
words the laws of nature which
are the laws of God.
The report of the Sunday
Schools by .Supt. Reese M. Har-
per showed an increase of over
500 in the schools of the Stake.
The primary association report
ed by Pres. Emma Harper was
similar to the other work being
done in the stake. The special
missionary work being done in
the Stake was referred to by near
ly all the speakers.
Prest's John l.. Smith and Wm.
T. Harper Of the Stake Presiden-
cy were speakers during Satur-
days sessions and their remarks
were timely and interesting.
During the forenoon session on
Saturday Apostle Hyrum M, 4,
Smith, and Rulon S. Wells of the
Council of Seventy, arrived from
Salt Lake City as Representa-
ives of the General Authorities of
the Church.
Both of these brethren spoke
at all the sessions of the confer
ence after their arrival and were
listened to with rapt attention,
They, too, referred to the egreat
missionary work being done by
the Latter-day Saints. Elder
Wells in the forenoon session on
Sunday spoke of the necessity OF
ordinances in the Church as well
as that of moral virtues. In the at
ternoon on Sunday Elder Hyrum
M. Smith gave most excellent
discourse on the standing and
claims of the different churches
in the world. especially those
of the Catholic church and those
made by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints.
The former, said he, made claims
that the priesthood had continu-
ed with their church from the
days of Peter to the present and
consequently was the only church
on earth with divine right to adj
minister in the divine ordinances
and he further quoted saying
made by a Catholic Priest to the
effect that if in any way the Cat
holics did not have the priest
hood among them, handed down
from the days of Christ, that
then the Mormon Church did
have it, according to this divine,
as the latter Church was the on
ly church laying claims to it's re-
storation. The speaker then
showed the course taken by the
former church as against that
advocated by Christ and the
course taken and followed by the
Latter-day Saints. Over 900
people listened to the able dis
