This is attested by the wit our people have embraced new move ments instituted by our 'church at large, as well as the developing of fundamental doctrines. One of the most nottcable of these is our accomplishment In the geneal. ogieal work. During ten years four excursions annually of saints have visited the temple, officiating yearly for a thousand names of dead, mak-jon ing ten thousand, the number aceom. ance is accorded the administration of the sacrament, making one feel it truly a beautiful ritual of our church, Then, Too, despite, the present pessimistic outlook -held by many for the future of our young people, a general church survey found an In. crease of faith among them. In Alpine Al-pine Stake, 75 per cent of our youth durlnfdvscrve the Word ot Wisdom. Surely being anxious to keep this command, ment thereby keeping, their bodies healthy, they make themselves amenable amen-able to other council and admonition given thru. their leaders. Recreational work tending to super, vise and centralize church activities, has been embraced with enthusiasm. Fathers and mothers interested In their children's welfare have helped build a summer home for them In American Fork Canyon. Here nnder proper chaperonage the children en. joy. a real summer vacation, often Joined by their parents, meeting- inf unison around the camp fire to mingle In songs of gladness. The Influence of Latter day Saints has been felt in the closing of saloons before it became a national issue, i of many young men. During. our existence as a stake we have sent 429 valiant men and women to ' represent usxas missionaries In he different nations of the earth. Of thia number 63 have gone from Lehi, Second ward alone. American Fork Second ward enjoys second place with 47. while Pleasant Grove First has sent 36. We have aided In building other successful stakes, for Bcores of prominent people have left us and are actively (engaged as ward, stake and temple workers' Many have entered the practical as well and the cultural professions including professors, doctors, dentists, musicians, nurses, school superintendents, etc Where people are advancing and prospering, ' meanwhile working for noble ideals, they are blessed with a spirit of contentment. There has been a head responsible for the pro. gresslon of this stake and as leaders our president and two counsellors have truly represented a higher Trln. Ity, showing how three may work In complete harmony and understanding.' understand-ing.' The personal feelings and pre. judiceg of mortal man ' have been sacrificed to unity, and purpose of spirit necessary for furthurlng a righteous cause. For twenty five unbroken years Bros. Chipman, Clarke and Evans have been the force at the helm, keeping' the people in course of progression, leading coun. ell, sympathy or cheer, and at times gentle ""'reproof,-'"--- whenever need arose.. ntWo" "can see" by , recordinuch of earthly account has been kept of the countless kind words and sustaining . . i . ueeus entu u'o ucowwwu yu ,in,w, nut tiipr un.
