Ephraim, lUah, - Aug. 21, 1890 over our children, who have been thor-oughly proven, and our children placed where they will learn the pure princi-pe!- s of the gospel, which is all truth; and these schools have been established to gain this object. We wish them to seek alter something besides the bubbles of this life, something they can take with them into eternity. When a child I used to take a pipe and bl .w soap bubbles, and delight in their prismatic colors, and thought if I could only make them so I could handle them and thev would last, how happy I should be; but in a moment they were gone. This is a fair sample ol what eaithly riohes are, while those things which will be of use beyond the vail, thost things which we can take with us into eternity are alone wsrth the effort of the Latter Hay Saints to acquire. It hurts me to talk. May the Lord bless you, and may you g away from heie refreshed ar.d comlor ted. Amen. To be Continued. him be cautious. There are some who rre o good at calculating that they can tell to the very cent how much they will make on an investment and it looks large, but when all expenses have been-pai-they rrenerall y find the profits have dwindled to almost nothing;, and that if would have been better to have waited until the means were their own. Some have put mopgages on their homes in order to raise money for investment, and in a majority of cases it has proven dis-astrous. Henry Ward Heeeher savs tlie mortgage is like on Ociupun, winding it long arms around vou and dragging you down to destruction. A mortgage never sleep, and it is always working against your best inter-ests. I wish to caution you against over speculation;' by and' by the crash will come, like theSouth Sea bubble, bring-ing ruin and sorrow to those engaged in it, because their speculations were not on solid basis. Bacon when asked what was the first qualification of a business man, answered boldness, What the second? Bolder, and what the third? and he replied boldness; but even boldness is not so requsite as some other qualities. It certainly takes a very bold man to go into debt in- the f ice of all ihe wide spread miseiy and disaster occasioned by it. We have our Co-o- stores, they are in the hands of our own people, thev like to ice immndate and help us as long as they can, but I question if the credit svstem is really any benefit to us. There are cases where it is pardtuiable to go into debt; but not' to purchase luxuries, and our necessities are in reality very few. It is much better for us to scrimp ourselves when our credit is got d, than to be obliged to when we are refused, I am informed that the people of San Pete are in debt Itoo.ooo outside of the county, how much better it would be-i-f this were not the case, and we were independent, and not ob-liged to give the last dollar, or bushel of wheat, to pay store debts There has been a great change in Denmark, in this regard'during ths past twenty years, I was quite surprised when on my last mission to see the far-mers living in hirije new commodious 'ouses, surrounded by big barns and all k'ndi cf modern improvements, and ending their boys to college to be ed-ucated; nd when they returned- - they d d not like to go at the hard' labor ous work that their fathers have done, so men are hired to db it. I asked nivself whence comes all this prospeiity? do they raise more crops, or get so much better prices for them? Perhaps there is a little of both, but I found their farms were heavily mortgaged in order to en-able them to live higher, and raise their children in higher society.and the result is that the real estate is going into the hands of foreigners. Do not he deceived by the anxiety of strangers who came into our midst, offer-ing to lend us money on easy terms, with o;ir faims or homes as security. You are told the rate of interest, is 6 oer cent.: AFTERNOON Called to order bv Pres. Peterson. Sing ng by the Cu ir "Guide us O Thou great Jehovah" t Prayer, Pres. Henry Peal. Singing, , 'Glory to God on high''! APOSTLE A. II l.UND. I am laboring under a cold, but feel well in spirit, and in listening to the good instructions we have teceived this morning, and the reports of the health of the people, their good works, and the bountiful hat vest. Apostle A. II. Cannon expected to meet with us but telegraphed ms that he was called to attend the Bsnnock Stake Conieience. I'woukl like to talk to you on a subject that has been upon my mind of late; it is with repaid to going into debt Ii is not in one plaac.only, but in nearly all the different setllements we find people aie in the habit of running accounts with ins stoies. and sometimes they are so tare thai tile Whole sum-mer's work will hardly cover them This tendency to run in debt is not cou-(iue- d to our locality but is true of the whole wotld.- - T.iere was ,1 time when no h-- in Ml. was indebted to the "re, for il eri were no siores 10 run to. When a waon came through occasion-ally, we look our wheal and bought su;ai or lalico and paid for it on ihe spui.tind what we could not pay for, we did not e'. 1 should not like to be brought, hack to those (lavs ol privation, bi.t I would Wjlnd.if ihr pe pie t nj !(; j the -- aiiie fieed.'in i'r.in debt now as this.aud that independence that d es noi belong to one who owes. I do noi wish to timl fault with a man who sots into debt to make a good investment, that he sees will pay by and by, hut I would siy to but yon will find that the veiy least, when deductions have been made and expenses paid the rate will be 12 per cent. At least do not get money on real your estate and consume it in dress or luxuries, and what you do not need. Another debt we should never perm t to stand against us is the debt we owe to our Heavenly Father We should be veiv particular about paying an honest tith-ing, and also our fast day donations, and all other requirements which He makes of us. If He sees we are doia our duty in this regard, He will p ;ur out his blessings upon us. Look at lhJbe who do pay their tith;n, have i!,ey not prospered? The LviJ has pumiced that those win pay their tithing shall not burn, and I think it is n iy (rood insurance. Let us not run in debt to the Lord, Since coming into th s place I have had the circular of your, chinch school placed in my hands,, I hope all who can, will send thair. children to this in-stitution We want teachers placed the mighty works of G.kI here iion the earth. Ve are the creatures of His creation, and the recipients ol His mercies and blessings, and should b willing to serve Him ail tlie day long. From a ImU boy 1 have loved the gospel, and 1 bear my testimony to all the world that they cannot upset it. or hinder it. Let us be united and faithful both in spiritual matteisandin political matters; and to the u'ctld let us give the truth and we'll do it it they'll receive it; and if they want to feel as I do, they must do the wvrk that i do. Policy will fail, but truth endureth forever. Ask God to give vou. I lis spirit that you may do the good works and you'll receive it. We ate blessed with health, as a community, and that is one ol the greatest of blasti-ngs, and we are blessed with a bounti-tu- l harvest. Uo we acknowledge the Lord in ail this? A Saint does, acid oilers the gratitude of his heart to the giver of all good Grasshoppers have eaten the oats, but the bread is left. I guess they hae eaten more for me than anyone else tliis-year- . i put in 12 acres and shall not harvest 20 bushels, but 1 don't feel bad about it. Several years ago I was a blessed man, this year L am the losing man 1 am level with my neigh-bors. What shall we do next yeai? Why not raise a crop; that's the way it looks, fur there are thousands of bushels of Giasshoppers e'gs. Hut I say. we will laise a crop next year, and as long as the bow of promise is in the Heavens. Hut we must be His people.aekiiowledge Hun and keep ourselves pure before Him. W'e must do our duty and then we can ask him, conscien-tiously ask hunt to do His. I.ask. the Lord to bless us y and tomorrow, that this confert nee may beai feast, a strength and spiritual food, that we may return to our homes saying, it is good to meet together and worship God. Money can't make us happy. God bless you all. Amen. Ex Bishop Seklky madn a lew appropriate remarks. Pest. Peterson made a few closing remarks, exhorting the audience to be punctual, at 2 o'clock.

Singing by the Choir on page 125. "Sec how the morning sun Pursues his shining way." Pres. I'fcTLKSON made the opening remarks: My brethren and sisters, I am glad to see so large a congregation gathered so early in il.e cotftiente, for I realize the great amount of labor the early and abiindent harvest entails upon the able bodied male part of the community. 1 his is the nd quarterly- - con-ference that has been in San Pete stake since Pres. Brigham Young organized us on the fourth day of July. 1S77 So far as I. know they have all been success-ful, and I hav attended nearly all of them. Success is the coming out to meet-ing, the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, the comforting,, instructing, and building up of the people so that they jo home glad they spent the time thus. I have faith to believe that the ihree hundred people that meet here this Moming, will feel paid lor the time spent, even those who are tiom a dis-tance, many of whom have left their grain standin in the field fully lipe.and who will not only spend the time with us here y and but alsu, the time to travel between the settle-ments. They have left the harvest in the hand 01 the giver; for no matter what we d j God giveth the increase. It is to your credit my bietlrm that you are here, and San Pete always tuins cut good a ill ei c s, and ihe moiive power within yuu is laith. 1 know that Goil ran speak the great truths ot eternity through the humble instruments he has chosen, and it is even possible for him to open the mouths uf babes ami sucklings, to speak words of truth and wisdom, to the edification of the saints, and the suenght-nin- i of their laith 1 leel encouraged by the great and wonderful prophecies thai are coming to passj uolably the prophe.y relating to the gathering of the jews, and the re-building tf jerusalem. The powers of the earth are assisting in bringing about this result; th Russian great man has issued an edict, that drives I 000000 of the jews wlio are their citizens out of Russia, and they will undutibtly ullinia-tl- y settle in Palestine. Look at the In-dians, the Spirit of God is winking with them preparing them for their great mission. I wjnt liro. John Spencer to tell us how tli9 Indians feel, 1 thank the Lord for the good crops.the good health of the people and the good men and women, and we want mine of them and have ustj for them all, I hope when we arc weighed, iu the balance, that none of us will he found less than 16 or., to the pound, God bless you. Amen. John spkncer, I am very much pleased to meet with the Latter Day Saints in Mt. Pleasant. I have been rtquesled to make a report of the conditions ot the Indians in Thistle Valley and I will do so to the best of my ability. The fulfillment of prophecy is not seen alone in the return of the Jews to Jerusalem, but his spirit is also mani-festing itself among the Lamanites. It is not alone those in Thistle but also various other tribes. It is rather diffi-cult to exulain. but there is a tl .flWriit I believe thev are all trying to.do their I duty and live their religion. We are so scattered, that our meetings are not so ' well attended as I should like to see them, Our quorums are organized, but not in full. Some have been broken into by removals, and others by promotion of some of.our oflicers to a higher place. The Relief Society is in good working ordesand doing an excellent work. The President of the Y. M. M. I. Ass.Mriation haa been called on a mission, and they are temporarily without a head. The V.. I., hold regular meetings. Of course some of the peoole are careless, but the majority are doing well. I feel to tiust in God and to lean upon his strength, and to aid in building up his kingdom cn earth. Amen. Bp. Steward. repotted, the new ward of Milburn. "It is a task for rue 10 stand before so large a congregation as is present here I can s ty for our place that tlie health of the people is good, and that thev have good crops, and are doing their duty as citizens and Latter Day Saints. Bp: ckjustenson. of Chester was introduced to the audi-ence by Piest Peterson, and report call-ed for. 'We people in Chester are enjoying universal good health, and our crops, as has been reported from other places are good; in fact it is one of the fairest crops ever raised in Cheater. The peo-ple generally are Hying to do their duly and live their religion, judging by their works, They attend their meetings.and even when they have so far to travel as some of our people do. When they are calledupon forany special'work. they are willing to respond, and 1 prefer to judge people by tiieir acts rather lhan their professions. All our organizations are complete except the Y.L. Association, and for four years we have had none, owing to not having any young ladies. We expect, however to have an organi-zation this winter, as we now have twenty young ladies who could take part. The K.S. is doing a good wotk, the Sunday School is-- well attended, and the oflicers are doing their dutju. We are all well, and hope we shall continue in the path of salety.and there is but one for those who have once embraced the gosuel. Bishop lund of Mt. Pleasant, also a newly, ordained Bishop was cailedto report the Mt. Pleas-ant uaid, and make a few remarks. " I feel pleased to meet so many of my brethren and sisters in a stake confer ence capacity. In reporting the Mt. Pleasant ward I can say that I do so with pleasure, as there is nothing of an evil nature to report, as seems to be the case with all the bishops, still there is room for the people to be better than they are. The health of. the people is good and the death rate lower for the last six months, than it has been for the same period of lime lor many years Out of a population of upwards- of two thousand, we have had 111 the last thtee montus but two deaths;.one a littlle child and thd other a very old lady. About our crops, 1 can not say ihey aie the big-gest ever raised, they are more than an average. Sunday meetings are not eiy well attended, but many ol the men are away from home, on the ijuhoadi and in the Canyon. This leaves a double portion ol the labor upon those who remain, and they think they ate too tiied to go to meeting on Sunday, but it is hardly a justifiable excuse. Ourorgatiiza tions are complete, but a good many cf them do not meet through the siunniet The High Priests meet every other Sun-day, however, and .the Young Ladies keep up their meetings. The Sunday Schools were consolidated some time back, and are welt attended; but the r. I! of teachers is not vj!! answereu, fully one half of them being away fiutil heme. When they gather hack home for the winter. as they generally do, and the busy season of harvest is over, we will no doubt do better. We have no day school as this is f .r the mostort the summer vacation. I feeling; thy themselves hardly know what. They are confidently looking for great changes to take place that shall greatly effect them as a people. Thev say the earth is old, and groans because of it, also, that they have been visited by heavenly beings both in dieams and otherwise. R inuers froim the various tribes, go from place bearing Ihe same testimony as to what is transpiring at other places. These runners- make remarkable good time, and come from Indian ler Montana, and other places; and the Uintas, Shoshones, Sioux and Navajos are all very much excited about it. They say the time has come for them to throw a ay their arms and be Iriends and at peace with all mankind. They are the true friends of the Latter Day Saints. Thev have ope.iid their arms to us. liid not Souette sav to Brigham Young. "Ccmr, vou can live with us?" I feel tiat toe time is last approaching when nations of them shall be born in a day, when Ihe gospel will be taken from the gentiles and given to this remnant of the house of Israel. When they accept the gospel, thev are firm and true. Ii understand their language, and it makes me feel good to hear their honest words of faith. These Ind ans in spite of dirt audi ignorance will be worked upon by thesp'uit of the Lord, and will be a help to this people and may help us to build up. the center stake of Zion. Theie are greater prom-ises to them than to us, and let us as-sist them whnt we can. Thev are not so full of prejudices and traditions as we are, and are more readv to receive and live the United Order than we are- I have been a long time among them, but do not know how long my labors will continue. James Ominp, an Indiau, and. a fine intelligent man, has gone up to where Purcupine is, and will remain two months perhaps; several othei Uidlan went with him, and he claims that he had a remarkable dream that is the cause of his going. May the Lord bless you. Amen. Prks. Pktkrson, then presented Bp, Christensen of Mayfield one of tne newly oidained Bps. to the conference. Bp Christiansen. Gave a report of his ward and labors. The people of our place are blessed with a very bountiful harvest. The wheat and oats are ihe finest ever raised in Mayfield, and the people aie grateful and acknowledge the hand ol God in these blessings. The health of the people ts good. All our organiza- tion were all complete except one which lacked a counsellor. I am willing to serve God and keep his commandments and magnify my calling, and I believe a II the people feel the same. Askimr God can say that well of the Latter day Saints in Mt, Pleasant they do their duty and serve the Lord, and'though there are some who are careless.the majority keep his commandments. Three members have been dislellowshiped in our ward recent-ly, one high priest and two members. This was done at their own request, and is no sudden thing, tor they have been growing for years in unbelief. I am thankiul to be able to meet mv brethren and sisters under such favorable circum-stances, and feel assured that those who have ttaveled so far to commune with us will not regret it. Our pravers in an assembled capacity should aiise to God that his blessings may rest upon the President the Aposile and all the authorities placed over us; that their minds may be tilled with light and knowledge, and their bodies with s length, and that we may be counceU d, instructed, and admoi ished if need be. We should remember our covenants and seek fiist the Kingdom of Gcd and his righteousness, and trust Him that every tiling else shall be added thereunto. That the Spirit of God may rest down upon the speakers and this congrega-tion is my prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen. ESEST. HKNRY BEAL, next addtessed the congregation: "It is a great privilege to be allowed to meet together here in pesos, and have the privilege of talking and listening. I have listened with much satisfcation to the reports of the condition of the var-ious wards; they are good. You take the majority of the citizens cfSan Pete and they are farmers, and this is harvest time. The scriptures tell us there is a seed time.etcand this is the harvest time and they think they must gather it in whether they attend conference or not; but I have nofced through life that those who discharge a duty faithfully when required, get along best, and attending conference is a duiy. When I was a young man, I used to take a part of every Sunday to bind the grain that I would cut on Saturday night; then I was tired. all day on Sunday, I should have felt better if I had attended meetingand let the work go, and I will say to those who have left their homes to attend this conference that they will be benefit-ed, the spirit manifested here will doub-lesil- y pay them for the time lost. If I had stayed at home and attended to my wjrk, I should not have been satisfied. Last Conference I was kept at home by sickness, I.h id not been siok before for I a years, and I shall not complain if: I am not sick again. lor 12 years, Now I. am pleased to meet with vou, it a feast to be with a people who worship God honestly, who are one in the gos-- el to of Pence, w ho have made covenant. bless us all in the name ol Jesus Amen. Bishop Peterson, also one of the newly ordained to the bishopric, and presiding over Fairview was presented to the congregation and reported!
