Importance Of Record Keeping By ANDREW JENSON Assistant Church Historian For historical purposes, "Harry" - should never been substituted for "Henry" nor "Lizzie" for "Elizabeth," "Eliza-beth," "Bob" for "Robert", "Dick" for Richard," "Polly" for "Mary," etc., and family names should be scrupulously guarded. Natives of Germany, Scandinavia, Scandi-navia, Holland and other foreign countries should retain the original orig-inal way of spelling their names, and also if possible the pronunciation; pronuncia-tion; otherwise their identity may become lost and ruled out of his- tory altogether. No matter how many positions you have held in the church, or how much good you have done in your life, it will not count to your credit in the records rec-ords kept in mortality unless you do what you do in your own name. We cannot afford to falsify the records. Yet in some cases this has been done to such an extent-that extent-that I wonder if the angels themselves them-selves will know who we are. Again I desire to impress you with the importance of keeping individual records. The public records are in many instances well kept , and preserved, but in other instances they are imperfectly kept and not preserved at all. In such instances the parties interested in-terested may lose their credit, unless un-less they have kept individual records, to which reference can be made. If we have been called by the Lord to labor in his vineyard, and thus been privileged to take part in this great later-day work, it is but proper and right that history his-tory should give us credit. Remember, Re-member, the old saying "what you do yourself is sure, but what you trust to others may prove disappointing," dis-appointing," also "if life is worth living, its deeds are worth recording." record-ing." So let us keep individual records. If you cannot keep a . daily journal, than write at least some of the most important events of your life. Before we pass away to the great beyond, let us write down some of our experiences in our lives with good ink and on good paper, that it may be left for our posterity. This will serve a better purpose to preserve our memory than a costly stone monu-nient.Vand monu-nient.Vand by doing this it may be v said of us as. it was said of Abel of old, "though dead, he yet speak-eth." speak-eth."

UTAH STAKE HISTORY BY C. V. HANSEN - Only four days after the arrival ar-rival of the pioneers in Salt Lake valley, President Young called together to-gether those of the twelve who were in c.inp for the ' purpose of selecting a site upon which to build the temple, and all were united in choosing of the block upon which the temple stands. Those who were present at this meeting besides the president were: Heber C. Kimball, Orson Pratt, Willard Richard, Wilford Woodruff, George A. Smith, Amasa Lyman and Ezra T. Benson. Ben-son. 40-Acre Block At that time it was decided that the Temple lot should contain 40 acres, but later it was deemed too large a tract to care for properly prop-erly and the lot was limited to a ten-acre block. It was also decided to lay out a city with ten acre blocks, eight lots in each, one and one-fourth acre in size, the streets eight rods wide, to have a sidewalk side-walk on either side one rod wide, and subsequently when water could be obtained, a beautiful row of trees to adorn and shade the same, watered by a crystal stream on the outside of the walk. This was the pattern and most of the cities in Utah bear the main characteristics char-acteristics of the pioneer city of oa.it L,aKe. i ne writer had a conversation a - ... .

He is recognized by all, thinking people, members as well as non-members, as one of the greatest satesmen, colonizers, and religious leaders of modern times. The winter of 1848-49 was more severe, and the pioneers lived in the fort that was built, the previous pre-vious year. Some years afterwards Erastus Snow writes: "We all wintered in the old fort which had been commenced and partly built by the pioneers that was built the previous year. This fort contained con-tained in March 1848, 423 houses and 1,671 souls. The adjoining field consisted of 5,133 acres of land of which 879 acres were sown. with winter wheat and in August of the same year we find that the-buildings the-buildings had increased to 450, and the inhabitants to 1,800.

During the spring of 1849, we began to move out on our lots; divided the city into wards, and began to fence by wards." Higbee Goes South Wilford Woodruff had been active act-ive exploring the Salt Lake valley and with a few others penetrated as far south as Utah lake. They came in contact with roaming Indians In-dians but found them friendly and desirous of trading with the whites. After exploring for a couple of days, getting a good view of the country, and seeing here and there small herds of mountain goats, sheep, and antelope, ante-lope, the company returned to the fort in Salt Lake City. It was now time to put into effect ef-fect President Young's plans for colonization. And so in March 1849, John S. Higbee, with thirty families, numbering nearly 150 souls, according to the directions of President Young were sent down to forn a settlement on Provo river in Utah valley.
