though he talked at considerable
length, we can give only few of
hiss entences because of lack Of
space. He wished that the spirit of
the Holy One might be the guiding
star of everyone, that they might &C
back into the presence Of the Re-
deemer of the world when you
see men who are pregnated with the
spirit of hatred and a desire for the
overthrow of their brother" said
he, you may know they have not
yet partaken OF love for the spirit
of the gospel l warn you against
the cultivation of that spirit that
sows the seed of darkness among
the children of men. Such is not
the spirit of the gospel of our Lord
Jesus. II man would be forgiven he
must learn to forgive; If he would
be loved he must love; IL he would
have peace in his household, he
must cultivate peace. o, what can
we accomplish with love? The gos-
pei, our guide, our savior, is the
guide of our Lord 1t will gladden.

The first speaker at this session |
was President John l.. Smith. Presi- J
dent Smith rejoiced that the plan of !
was upon the earth, the !
great plan which is embodied in the ,
gospel of Jesus Christ. Conditions /
have changed, and are changing, :
said he; the time was when the
name, Latter-day Saint, was repug-
nant to the people of the world, but
no longer now does that condition
exist. At this time the elders of this
church are able to gain audiences
with kings, presidents. governors of
states, and others in high authority
in the affairs of our government,
and for this reason we should be
thankful. The gospel is being
taught in foreign lands, and Is now
carried, by our missionaries, to all
he people of the earth, the church is
growing, we are progressing, and we
must be progressive if we keep pace
with the church.
Patriarch Moroni Pickett was
lext called to the pulpit. He spoke
If the trials and hardships of the
people of Zion, of their faith and
heir lack of faith, of their labors
md of the testing qualities that
ome to the people from time to
ime. But the Saints have not yet
cached that stage of perfection
When they are able to cease their eff
orts, and therefore they need some
hing more, and that is the supreme
owe of the Lord and of his works.
t is necessary that we keep before
IS the history of the past. The past
as made it's record we should be
tudents of that history, that we
nightp rofit by it, and we should
triveto understand our duties Of
he present and the future, and to
we the laws of God.
An anthem, Daughters of Zion"

Tx was interesting.
Elder Alexander Tolman, of the
ders, quorum, was next called.
Superintendent o. P. Bates of the
