The speakers were earnest and eloquent in their appeals to the people to of-th- - their Integrity-en- d ivorkiighteoueness, to sus tain home manufactures and - industries and sue-casafu- enemies.- - A good degree of the Spirit' of the Lord was manifest bj'U upwIasU!a(Lofhr through the several days cf the Conference. Daring the, Conference an Epistle from the First Presidency of the Church was read, in which these brethren presented, in strong and and forcible language, the wrongs under which tnia peop:e are sauering at tne present ume,ana the only safe pith to pursue to obtain the promises held out to the faithful. After the Epistle, which seemed to include and embrace every point In which the people at the present time are eo deeply interested, had bsen read, Apostle H. J. Grant offered the follow. ing resolution:"'" "In view of the statement in the Epistle that -- we have heard read, that the proportion of the mala members of our Caurca who are living in the practice of plural marriage la but little, if any, more than two percent of the entire mem- ; , uai s E j. j .jft l;i n 14 . ..ii j . i j ai.t. li fi nil imi j 14 n j to the great majority of this community by the action of the Federal officials, I move that a o ;mmittee be appointed by this Conference to draft a series of resolution, and a protest to the President of the United St ite?, and to the nation, ia which the wrongs the people of this Territory have suffered and are still suffering, from the tyrannical conduce of Federal officials shall b3 set forth specific illy and in detail, and asking ia respectful language for the same treat msnt to which other "citizens of the United. nviiw io tuuin.'ijj auu icjjuh tut) ouiuo tu a miss meeting which shall be hereafter called."

Why, as a people, did we ever gather together and make a settlement anywhere? I will answer, It was because we believed there would be a reign of peace on the earth. This peace would bs accomplished when all could tee and understand Lour Savloi'i mission. This they will learn by doing His will.
