President Smith Presides at Opening Session, Congratulates the Saints and Tells of Their Progress and Present Prosperity. The annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints in Salt on Lake opened City Thursday, April 6, the day being the seventy-fiftanniversary of the founding of the church In New York state. The attendance at the opening session was unusually large, members being present from all over the United States and several foreign countries, There were present of the general authorities: Of the First Presidency, Joseph F. Smith, John R. Winder ana Anthon H. Lund; of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, Francis M. Lyman, Rudger Clawson, Hyrum M. Smith George A. Smith, Charles W. Penrose, y Presiding Patriarch John Smith; First cessful preaching of the gospel and the sterling Integrity of those engaged In it, was an additional testimony of Its truth and bore record that God ws at the helm of this work. Elder J. O. Duffin, president of the Central States mission, reported his labors. This mission included five states and two territories. The work was prospering there. If the payment of tithing was a standard by which the faith of the people were to be judged then the prospects in the Central States mission were encouraging; for during the last few years the tithing there had increased nearly GOO per-ceamount with a proportionate donations for the poor. Elder Ben E. Rich, president of the Southern States mission, reported that there was a gradual growth to the membership of the church. Scarcely a week passed without several baptisms, and sometimes in a single month there were 80 persons baptized. At the afternoon session Elder Rud ger Clawson of the quorum of apostles was the first speaker. There was time, he said, when the church was weak, numerically speaking, and that was seventy five years ago; but now the church was strong, not only in numbers, but also in faith. Elder J. G. McQuarrie reported con ditions In the Eastern States mission, and referred to the establishment ot church headquarters in New York City. Elder B. H. Roberts of the first seven presidents of the Seventy was the next During the course of his speaker. remarks he said: The difference between the Latter-daSaints and the Christian world generally is that, whereas they believe only In the revelations given to men In the past, we not only believe this but believe also In the possibility of revelation in the present day. But, because we believe these things, it is not to be taken for granted, as some of our opponents seem to think, that the president of the church may enter the divine presence as he will, or to call an angel when he will. On tie contrary, these things are at the disposal of God." The Mifflin THE TOURIST'S FAVORITE ROUTE THROUGH SALT LAKE . CITY AID SCENIC COLOSAT.
