It does not alldepend upon the Elders of Israel by any means. You are like ministering angels; you are aids to the bishops, aud a gruat many worthy people would suffer were it not for these organizations. The responsibilities of building up this Kingdom rests alike upon the man and the 'woman. While the Elders ure among, the ina- -. tions preaching the Gospel, the mothers have the guidance of the children. When I contemplate the positions of you mothers m bearing the souls of men, and your future destiny, it is far beyond the honors conferred upon the queens of the earth, who are looked upon witn Honor. WUeu they die there is an end of their glory, lour promise is eternal. You cannot know the result of your labors until you pass behind the vail. You have no thrones here, but when you have faithfully performed the. work you were ordained to do on this earth, your exaltation will be eternal, you will inherit kingdoms forever. It is only a step to the other side, it is like passing from one door to another, and what little time you remain here do all the good you can, train your children aright, teach them the principles of lifo and salvation, trv to stem the tide of evil that is gaining a foothold among our young people, teach your children to honor the principles of marriage as revealed through the Prophet Joseph, without this order of marriage we cannot be exalted; instill these eternal principles in the minds of the rising generation, that they may control their actions through life; Let me say to the sisters of Zion, we cannot do without your assistance in accomplishing this great work, our sons and daughters are to bear off this kingdom, and it devolves upon the mothers to prepare them for the "work before them." The speaker said he had never been at home but one summer in his life, of course the training of children was entirely out of the question. One of his children was over a year old before he saw him! "Be faithful my sisters, that when the trump shall sound, we may come forth and inherit eternal lives." Brother Teaalale made some excellent remarks in regard to the vast amount of goed done by the Relief Societies, and the object of their mission. Brother John said he had been highly edified and he hoped the sisters would give heed to the advice of Brother Woodruff. Conference adjourned until August 27th. After singing.
