Show CHARTER oak stoves are always reliable. A CORRECTION. In the report of the Relief Society celebration, which appeared in our last, it is stated that a silver cake basket and silver goblet, purchased by the Sisters, were presented to Sister Elizabeth Benson by Apostle Moses Thatcher. The facts are that, immediately after the huge congregation were seated at the tables, Sister Crowther arose and presented the articles to Sister Benson making at the same time a few remarks. Her voice, however, was inaudible to a large portion of the audience, who did not comprehend what had taken place, and Elder Thatcher, by request, arose and explained what had just occurred. In the rear of the room a number of people, among them our informant, thus derived the impression that the presentation was made by Elder Thatcher, which was not the case and our report of the occurrence places him, as well as Sister Crowther in an erroneous light in the matter. |
