Apostle Ballard said the day was of special significance to htm. marking the fifth anniversary of the day when he filled his first conference con-ference appointment's an Apostle, in thAJpiai. EtaJte;;; "The only way for us to keep epdrlt-ually epdrlt-ually alive Is to keep everlastingly at work," said Apostle , Ballard. The most dangerous thing for a Latter day Saint. Is rest He continued by saying . there . were . two conditions he " hoped : never to . get lntolwben old, the first that he would bet so poor that he would be a ' burden to his children and they would feel It a re-liertor" re-liertor" hlmto go,- and - the - aecond that he would be so wealthy that the children would be counting on the money coming to them when their father died, and wondering how long it would be before be died. : . Apostle Ballard admonished . the Latter-day Saints to be Industrious and , frugal and prosperous but to strike a happy medium In eeeking after material things. -i- The mission of the Latter-day Sainte to.brini.iouieto .jChrlst jraa emphasised em-phasised by Apostle Baliard. He told a atory of a girl Joet in the mountains of Arliona and a boy lost in the mountains moun-tains near Tooele and how. a host of men turned out in each instance to search for them. Tbere are boys and girls in every ward who are In far greater peril than either of these two," said Apostle -: Ballard. ? They could lose, but their physical life but many of the youngr people are in danger dan-ger of losing their eouls..'. Tha parenlj were appealed to be as . dlliseat In searching after the wayward ae were the men and women who sought the lost boy and girl In the mountain. " ; The meeting concluded with the singing of "Do What la Right", and & A. . Bushman, Sr pronounced the bendlctkm. . ' .;.."r ; Apostle Ballard continued along the line of thought ; uppermost In the morning session, namely that of bringing bring-ing souls to Christ in the afternoon session which convened at t o'clock. He said there are many who nave a desire to do good but know not how to accomplish this desire. T t t: . There have been born to Latter-da v Saint parents nearly four 7 times" as many children as to ill the cohrerte In the world and this being true," the mission of Ihe Latter-day Saints Is to save the young people. .The old doct- rlne of "Spare the rod and spoil the child" should be done away with, said Apostle Ballard, who felt ,ftat children should be controlled ;..wi;h ) love and persuasion. , If parents are to train the chfldren Jo keeping J commandment . of the Lord they must serve the Lord themselves and thus set the proper example. Men and women, boys and girls, cannot be won through the mind; they must be won through the heart. Apostle Ballard, in concluding his talk, dwelt upon tha great responsibility of r parents " to childreC,.'.; , The' musical elections for this ses slon ' consisted ' of '"Come : Let ..TJi Anew," The Spirit f God Like 1 Fire Is Burning", and .'
