SHEPHERD President of Logan Temple Notwithstanding the fact that our January 1, 1934, bulletin showed that there were 159,412 baptisms performed in the Logan temple during 1933, and during the same period 116,508 endowments were performed, yet we are faced with the rather disappointing fact that the baptisms furnished by the stakes in the Logan Temple district were 4682 less than the endowments performed. Sheets furnished from Salt Lake City and Ogden for baptisims contained 4.7,586, so that all of the stakes in the Logan Temple district fell short 4682 of the number of endowments done. This demonstrates more than anything else the necessity of the Saints in our district making greater efforts in procuring the records of their dead and transcribing on sheets the name of those eligible for baptisms. It should be the pride of every ward and stake to furnish the temple as many names for baptisms as there are endowments done in the ward or stake. There is another thing that is causing us a little anxiety and which could probably be remedied by some extra efforts made, viz: that while at present we are fairly well supplied with male names for endowment purposes, we find that we are almost out of female names on file to furnish those who call to do this kind of work. We need more names for baptisms. We need more female names for endowments. Also keep your sealings up to date. Will you not help us out of our difficulty? TRANSCRIPT 1 .

You'll REMEDY NEEDED (Editorial) a few years ago there was a plentiful supply of of the dead in the Temple, for whom baptisms had not been performed. Baptismal excursions were organized with no thought as to the source of the names for whom baptisms were to be performed. That condition has changed and those who conduct excursions to the temple must furnish the names of the dead for whom baptisms are to be performed. President Shepherds contribution printed above, leads us to believe that the time is at hand when women who go to the temple to perform endowments for the dead must furnish the names of those for whom they would perform ONLY endowments. As we interpret the problem there are two things that should be done. First: every Latter-da- y Saint family should become active in searching for their dead relatives. Second: more men should go to the temple. If the wife and husband cannot both go to the temple, let the husband go because his work is needed most. Let no one imagine that his family has found its genealogy and done its temple work. We believe no such family exists. Neither do we believe that any family has exhausted every resource in searching for names on any particular line. Every individual in the church has the personal responsibility of seeking for his ancestors. The size of the family or the number of relatives who are not interested makes no difference, that personal responsibility is still there. We hope the Latter-da- y Saints will see the situation as presented by President Shepherd and that every family will take steps to remedy the condition.

D. D., a scientific expert closely connected with the department of interior. The tenth coiiferer.ee of this organization has just been held at Konigsberg in Prussia and some of the very interesting points of discussion are these: A proposition of the government to photograph every page of al' old church records and st additional information about him. The other book is Kingston, New York, Dutch Church Records, 1660 to 1809.

The publishing of a bibliography of German Family History for the This book period of has been compiled at the central office for German Personal and Family history in Leipzig and will be published as soon as the necessary finances are available. A catalogue containing the funeral orations and personal correspondence found in the Roland Genealogical society of Dresden is being compiled by twenty-si- x people who give their time to the work and receive practically no compensation. The society has also recently copied the information found on its pedigree charts onto cards of an index system and has sent these to Berlin so that a central archive might be organized. This society has also kept its own index and has given out considerable information to researchers. The central office at Leipzig is also issuing an Immigration Index of 60,000 cards which is to contain a record of all emigrants since the seventeenth century and especially those who have crossed the seas. The main purpose of this index la to answer questions written in by the descendants of these emigrants concerning the genealogy of their lathers. As pointed out by Dr. Fahren-horin his opening speech, the genealogical work in Germany, taken as a whole, is now under a new banner and shows every sign of a bright future. 1900-193- st .
