Sister Constance Xelbor, of the Thirteenth Ward.rcad a very Interesting Inter-esting essay on tbe sulject of "Truth," written by Sister Eliza Tlatt Superintendent Wm. Xaylor, of the Thirteenth Ward School, addressed ad-dressed thc meeting. Tho Sunday School Interest was one of considerable consider-able Importance in the Church of Christ As the teachings Imparted in these schools were doing much good In training the children In the principles of tbe Gospel, a much greater Interest should be token In them than Is apparently manifested by man'. Tho speaker exhorted tho young men to take part In tbe exercises of Uie public meetings of Uie Latter-day Saints, and gain a little experience In Uie work of the ministry and prepare themselves by study to fill lives of usefulness In the Church of God. The siieaker related his experience as a missionary mission-ary to the Sandwich Islands. Sister Leah )unford and Brother Joseph Piatt sang a duet,w hlch was excellently rendered.

Taylor said Uiat no one was qualified to teach Uie children of Uie Latter-day Saints unless he had the Spirit of God In liis heart; nor could he teach with success unless he sought by prayer for Uie aid of God's Spirit To have a partinthetralniBgofthechlldren of the Saints was not only a noble work but a very gtave responsibility. The guardian angels which accompanied accom-panied every child into and through the world were silent witnesses of Uie correctness and thoroughness of Uie instructions given, and Uie parent or the teacher who did not do his duty would someday feel the weight of their calllngand responsibility. responsi-bility. Supcriuteudent J. C. Cutler made a few remarks, and announced that the Fourteenth Ward school would furnish part of Uie programme and singing exercises at the June meeting meet-ing of tlie Union. A good spirit prevailed throughout through-out Uie meeting. There was a very fair attendance of both officers and teachers.
