Sister Annie C.. Hindlsy. president
Of the Alpine stake. desired to give
to her children that which would
bring to them the most happiness
in life. She felt that the gospel sm-l
bodied all that was worth while. +
While sister Benson was giving {
retrospection Of the Cache stake. she
had told Of lovely woman who was
experienced in the work that Vas
called to preside over their stake.
Shortly after she died, new ex-
perienced woman was chosen. And
like the prophet, Joseph. was untu-
tored and unframed only a. the Lord
played upon him and educated him
and in his humility he grew. She
said that whenever the priesthood
calls US, though we feel weak, we
should put ourselves In the hands Of
God and we will get support. She
said she had visited the meeting to
get some new ideas to take back and
use in their work.
Mrs. r. E. Moench bore testimony
TO the gospel. She spoke Of the love
referred to by Pres. Smith at our
conference, also of his blessings the
sisters and she felt, that II we lived
for It we would receive blessings.
She referred to Nephi. how when he
was told to build a ship. he had no
tools, but had the faith to go to
the mountain and commence the
work and ask God to temper the ele-
ments and bless the land.

sang duet.
Mary f. Smith related a story and
compared it to the help she felt the

She said that It was with sadness
| that she had recorded the minutes
giving the last reports of Sister Jo-
hanah Petersen and Susan j. Smith.
both of whom had labored many
years as president, but now had re-
signed. Sister Petersen was an early
pioneer of Hyde Park. and was rich
in experience. Sister Smith had
worked as an officer in the early or
ganization of the Second ward. She
had lived neighbors to her in Canada
while she, with her husband, sought
protection under a foreign flag. To
avoid Imprisonment for the sons
born to him, she cared for the chill
dren; now she sees them called forth
to protect their country. She re-
; ferred to Pres, Smiths remarks
where he said he could not conceive
of anything more ignorant or child
like than for a man or woman to ge
mad at the Lord because some mar
or woman had injured them. Sh,
admonished all to do right regard
less Of other peoples faults.
Sister Mary L. Hendrickson sal,
she had thought at one time that tn,
Mutual work was the most import
ant there was, guiding the you h, ant
she thought yet that it was q grea
responsibility, but had learned Their
was other work equally responsible
to be able to labor among the poor
sick and needy, administer to Their
and bless them, and the blessing
: prove effectual. She referred to tn
4 average attendance at meetings an
said in some instances 1t was NO
? more than the number Of teachers
She wondered II 1t was mostly teach
! ers. She said that we have blesse
privileges. and we should appreciat
and use them.
