Declares That Never Before Since His Occupation of Position of Authority Had He Felt So Much Occasion to Rejoice Over Progress. Suit Luke City The niiiolylirsl conference of the Church of .lesus Sniuls opened ill Christ of Latter-da10 o'clock Siinilay morning, April .'I. In the tabernacle. In hi opening address, President Grant reviewed the acllvities of the church anil the achievements of lie past year, declaring that never before n of since Jiis occupancy of the authority In the church had he felt so over the much occasion to rejoice progress made by the church. Itemizing some of the step?! which lie held as Indicative of development, lie referred first to the tnis.-in- u work, declaring Hint this department of the church furnished an uneipialed example, to the rest of the world for devotion to the principles of Hie gos-peIn proportion to the number of missionaries In the field lie believed that never In the history of the church had the results been so gratifying. taWt, Temple work, the president Iiad also shown satisfactory progress, a striking example of which was to lie found la the fact that the fast offerings in n single Sunday, set apart toward the erecjLWin of a temple in !Zona, had yielded $118,000. specifically to amounts ex ItetWg pended in different fields of church work. President Grant said that In the past year $71S,4!)7 has been lined in educational work, .$15 Hi,U0,'J for tabernacles, amusement halls and chapels anil $5(11,701) for missionary work, lie estimated the time and labor expended by the missionaries to be the equivalent of $2,000,000, and declared it a marvel for the world to note that a people who numbered only half a million, all told, should so far devote their tit ne and substance to the cause t.hey had espoused. Assistance given to the poor during the year had amounted to $4.10,000, while $15S,715 had been expended In temple work, another illustration of faithfulness in living up to the doctrines of revealed religion in laboring for the salvation of those who had died before- receiving the gospel. rr"sldent Grant paid high tribute Anthon II. Lund, who Xjffsldent only a few weeks nun. Mharlcs V. Penrose, first counselor to President Grant, and Anthony V. Ivlns, second counselor, recently elevated to the position from the quorum of the twelve, were the other speakers at the morning session. The addresses of both were largely theological In character, Mr. Penrose dealing with the nature, power and functions of the "Holy Ghost," while Mr. Ivlns .spoke chiefly of the inspiration of the "Hook of Mormon." Apostle Kudger Clawson, now president of the council of the twelve, succeeding Anthony V. Ivlns, was the first speaker of the afternoon session. He devoted himself almost entirely to an analysis of the authority, power and functions of the priesthood of the L. I). S. church, describing both orders, the Melchesedic, or higher, and the Aaronlc, or lesser. At the afternoon session, before calling on any of the general authorities to address the congregation, President Grant said that in his haste and press of matters to be attended to at the morning session, he had overlooked one of the most Important, the report as to tithing. Without specifying exact figures, the president said that he congratulated the Latter-daSaints upon the payment of a slightly larger sum in tithes during the year Just ended than In the previous year. Apostle George I". Richards, president of the Salt Lake temple, who followed Mr. Clawson, sn d that as the keynote of the last conference, "keep the commandment of God." had proved so successful, he rejoiced that the keynote of the present gathering was "continue to keep the commandments." Despite the storm that prevailed throughout Monday afternoon, rain am) miow alterating, the tabernacle was more than comfortably filled at the i. beginning of the afternoon Solemn and emphatic warning to his people that they have no part In, nor anything to do with, any agitation or movement against the Jewish people was given by President lleber J. Grant, just before the close of the conference session on Monday. "There appears to be." said Prel-len- t Grant, "a good deal of agitation ngaltist the .lewlsh people. We should hold no against them.

We believe that they will yet come Into the fold of the gospel. Let. no Latter-da- y Saint havfe any part In any agitation or movement against the Jewish people." Apostle James E. Talmage, Ir. Seymour B. Young, senior president of the seven presidents of seventies, and II. II. Roberts, second president of the council of seventies, were the speakers of (he afternoon. Kach of the addresses given was doctrinal in character, dealing largely with some particular phase of the L. I. S. creed. After staling that the public generally, regardless of creed, was always welcome at the conference sessions of the Latter-daSaints, Apostle Talmage said that it was Unit the great majority in attendance were Latter-diiSaints, and that, while his remarks would have special reference to their faith, the theme that he would discuss would be of general Interest to all Interested In the progress of the world. The speaker f'rst took up the question of t".ie forgiveness of s!n, setting out not only the necessity for the remission of sin by properly constituted authority, but also the obligation that resls upon those who have received forgiveness of so living that their forgiveness would not be recalled by God. He cited the biblical parable of the master and hyf selfish servant who refused to furglve his debtor, after he himself had been forgiven, as an example of the penalty that may come to one for hardening his heart. President Young devoted thirty minutes to reminiscences of early days of the church, speaking from personal recollection of Oliver Cowtlry and Martin Harris, the men who assisted Joseph Smith, the prophet. In Ills translation of the Iiook of Mormon. Roth of these men, he said, left the church after it had been organized, hut both In later years repented and came back "in the gospel," seeking not rank or privilege, but the opportunity to die In the faith. President Itoberts quoted extensively to show that the doctrines of flie church have been substantiated by witnesses from the time that God anil Jesus Christ first appeared to the prophet Joseph Smith and that ample evidence of the truth of the revealed doctrines lias ever been with the followers of the prophet.

Grant declared that: "Any man, woman or child who claims tn t lie, she or any other person on earth, except lleber J. Grant, has received a revelation regarding be actions of others than himself and 'amily is cither a plain liar or has been leceived by the powers of evil, and to heed the doctrines of such person is a sure road to hell." "There are certain persons among us," President Giant continued, "who are declaring that they have been Instructed by the Lord-tperform plural s marriages. There are no plural in tin' church, nnd any person vho attempts to teach other than the irevalling system of one wife for one nan is sanctioning the practice of ulultery, and any who enter such marriages are guilty of adultery In the face of God.
