There, are about 600 on the coast, he said. The choir'a trip to the coast will give the work a great impetus, he believed. Since the choir visited California he has received many inquiries concerning thia Btate and its people. At the afternoon session Apostle M. F.

He advised the patriarchs, in giving blessings, to make them conditional, so as not to disappoint. Apostle Heber J.
