Apostle John Fielding Smith ad-
dressed both the forenoon and alter
noon sessions on Sunday. In speak
ing of the responsibility of the par
ents Apostle Smith said: "It is the
duty of every parent to set proper
examples before his children and that
he is responsible to God to see that
his children are taught the princi-
pies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ"
In addressing the afternoon session
Apostle Smith asserted that the sue
cess in the church in holding It's
young people so successfully was
based upon the declaration made ty
the prophet Joseph Smith many years
ago. "The idler shall not eat the
bread of the laborer." The general
tendency in the church he explained
has at all times been to eliminate the
idle member by studying his qualifi-
cations and resting upon him some
responsibility and thus bring him
into active service. He said: "Pe-
sponsibility goes with every bless-
ing Detailing man and the one who
shirks duty TO serve others is de-
nying himself the greatest blessing
that can come to him."
Elder Charles H. Hart was also a
speaker at the Sunday meetings.. He
expressed the aim of the church
through its auxiliary oryaniza .ions
was the Conservation of The Human
Souf' and Stated that each o. the six
auxiliary associations was training
its officers and teachers alcn5 special
lines for the accomplishment of this
great aim.
