Show jH j The Progress is working for your best interests and VOLUME XX. NO. fl Quarterly conference of the Emery stake was held at Castle Dale last Saturday and Sunday, with Melvln J. Ballard, the latest ordained member of the Quorum of twelve apostles; Adam S. Bennion, superintendent of church schools and auxiliary organization worker; and Mrs. Higgs, M. I. A. general board member, present at all four sessions. Large crowds were present at all meetings, with the exception of Saturday when a threatening flurry of snow and rail) interfered somewhat. And everyone felt more than paid for going, for the whole conference was a veritable spiritual feast, though Apostle Ballard was as strenuous and earnest in his criticisms as in his praises. The conference began Saturday morning with President Lars P. Ove-so- n presiding and making the opening talk. He reported the stake in a favorable condition, with all wards but one (Molen) fully organized. Continuing, he spoke briefly on the new M. I. A. slogan, "Spiritual growth by attending sacrament meetings," and urged all to help the Mutual organizations in their work. President Alma Q. Jewkes bore his testimony to the truth of the gospel and detailed some of the blessings the gospel is bringing to us as against the other peoples of the earth. Superintendent Bennion, speaking, paid a wonderful and most beautiful tribute to woman and to motherhood and then went on to admonish those making up an audience to give liberally to the speaker in the way of attention and thought, saying that the speaker one joins with is the speaker he enjoys. Eroderick offered the opening and Elder J. Frank Killlan the closing prayers. President A. E. Wall was the first speaker in the afternoon and dwelt on the necessity of providing the young people with proper amusements. He was followed by Elder H. S. Harris, seminary teacher at Huntington, who bore a powerful testimony to the goodness of the work of Ood, maintaining that the world was searching for something it could not find and would not find except through the gospel of Christ. Apostle Ballard prefacing one of the most wonderful sermons ever heard in the stake by singing "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go, Dear Lord," testified that those were the sentiments of his heart. He told of his labors in the northwestern states, over which mission he presided for some ten years, referred to the pioneers of the Mormon church and drew a mental picture of the contrast between the Prophet Joseph Smith's wife Emma and children, and the family of his brother Hyrum when the meeting shall take place after death, referring to those who had left the church at the death of the prophet and of their ultimate failure. He compared obedience through fear and force with that gained through love and patience, reminding his hearers that Jesus might have ruled the world through power and fear but chose the other means. The speaker admonished the saints to pay all attention to the prophets of today. All honor to those who are dead, but the living prophets of today are the ones. Elder Peter E. Johnson offered the Invocation and former Bishop Antone Nielson the benediction. Saturday evening was devoted to a meeting of the M. I. A. workers of the wards and stake, followed by the concert given by the music and elocution departments of the Emery Stake aacademy. Following the preliminary exercises and the administration of the sacrament at the Sunday morning session Superintendent Bennion very forcibly discussed Religion Class work in its relation to home, arguing that the class work only supplements the home. The good tachings and character gained from a proper home life are never lost but are ever preset in future lift to help make for a me or usefulness. He was followed l y Mrs. Hlggs, who discussed the M. I. A. slogan spiritual growth through attendance at sacrament meetings. Apostle Ballard, speaking, deplored the small percentage of attendance at sa lament meetings in Emery stake, specially in the Castle Dale ward, go-o- n to explain that the partaking of the sacrament was evidence to Ood that the partaker felt sorry and repentant, the sacrament representing the greatest gift of God to man His ""'y begotten son,-- Jesus Christ. It Is absolutely essential that the spiritual as well as the physical body be given proper care ag the efficient guidance f the physical body depends upon properly nourshing the spiritual body. Elder Andrew Anderson offered the opening prayer at the Sunday morning ineetlng and Patriarch Peter Johnson the closing. The meeting was a record-break-Sunday afternoon in point of attendance, the large Academy auditorium bping packed. er Elder O. . S gn . J. Anderson offered the SL in- vocation, after which Elder Delos Jewkes, formerly of Orangeville, who recently returned from a four-yea- r mission in South Africa, was called to the stand and asked to speak. He h"re a powerful to the testimony ruth of the gospel. Apostle Ballard, . the following speaker, told of a recent Baptist convention which had adopted the proposal of a tithing system based on that 'n effect in the church since its beginning, and also the volunteer missionary system of the Latter-da- y "Just like a letter from t' f CASTLE DALE, CTAH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER that's what they all say of the Progress.

DRANGEVILL E HONORS Ai HELD IN CASTLE DALE B. . a, 10, QUARIERL Y CONFERENCE Elder J. a Two Young Men Victims of Different Auto Accidents on Same Day STICE BIRTHDAY The people of Orangeville, joined by quite a number of Castle Dale citi- zens and young folks, celebrated Armistice day in appropriate manner Tuesday night, though nothing was done during the day except in.the schools where class programs were held very generally In the forenoon, dismissing for the day at noon. The big celebration at Orangeville was given under the auspices of Daleville Post No. 44 of the American Legion and the War Mothers organization (now known as the Service Star Legion.) The crowd began gathering before sundown and by the time darkness came a big crowd was assembled the big bonfire which the Orangeville people had provided. The Academy band furnished some very good music, after which adjournment was taken to the social hall, which had been magnificently decorated for the occasion. Refreshment booths, also very cleverly decorated and occupied by representatives of the War Mothers and the Primary organization, dispensed sandwiches, cake and coffee, and punchi Mrs. Josie E. Childs, who had charge of the program, presented Louis P. Oveson, who gave a most Inspiring talk along patriotic lines, reviewing some of the blessings that memorable day a year ago brought to the people generally as well as to the homes of anxious mothers and fathers and wives throughout the whole world. S. Virl Jones, former service man, gave a piano solo and a quartet rendered a number, also in very fine style, following which forme Sergeant Ray Curtis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Curtis, and one of the first two men from Emery county to be inducted into the army, gave the best narrative of conditions at the front just previous to and following the cessation of hostilities that it has been our privilege to hear or read of. The lad told his story simply but powerfully and held spellbound the large audience of old and young, picturing the scenes of horror and bloodshed he had witnessed, the nights he had spent with gruesome surroundings and his many miraculous escapes from death or horrible injury in very interesting manner. W. C. Schaus, post chairman, made a short but excellent talk, explaining the purposes, aims, and benefits ot the American Legion and the force it will be In shaping American affairs, though not in the least partaking of a religious or political nature. He was followed by Bryan Reid, post secretary, who paid a glowing tribute to the mothers of the country who bravely sent forth their sons to perform their mission for world humanity, never complaining, but always praying and hoping. The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing, everyone seeming to have a good time. There will be no organized Red Cross roll call in Emery county this fall. This was the decision made ana communicated to Denver headquarters some time ago, but the recent visit of Miss McMechan, Red Cross field representative, inspired the chapter officers with a little hope of success but. discussion of the matter with people outthroughout the county made the near look look so gloomy for anywhere th resDonse that it was de cided today (Saturday) to do nothing in the matter. v ORANGEVILLE SCHOOL NOTES We the junior high school students of Orangeville want to wake the people up to the fact that we are making a great success in our studieso this year. bright Our class consists of twenty-twIndustrious students boys and girls and our teacher, Mr. Wm, T.

I think it time we had some Improvement when one has to wait for hours to get a message through these busy times. It is a serious matter. This single line has long ago filled Its time and there should be a united movement made to see If the telephone company will not put at least one more line through the county.
