Show Gift -0-- "Let it Rain" Tithing, Prayer Theme Gospel Message Entertains At Lehi Stake Conference Last Sunday Capacity Crowds "Let It Rain," Parents-Yout- The need for constant h Night feature, presented Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Lehi Stake Center, attracted capacity crowds. Music, drama and dancing sequences were combined in the production, outlined by the General Board of the MIA, and staged on a stake basis. The entire family was invited to attend with parents. Audience reaction was enthusiastic, but very well controlled. Tom Babb as the versatile weather man, tuned In on scenes which depicted the human reactions to troubles and problems as well as the weather. "Let It Rain," he sang, '"Cause I got Here First." A little turbulence can often be dispatched by a warm front, was explained, and "All you have to do is create your own climate and the weather is under your control," he said. In the school room scene, with Lucille Peterson of Cedar Fort, as the teachers, students were told to do their best. "Follow the path where your talents lead," she said. "There is always another road and another path." "Every boy is set for something special. Every girl is made for something strong. Let it rain, I will get there first; We all must carry our umbrellas and be ready to face the storms," themed her song. With Tom Babb, included in his reflections on the weather and the behavior of people, were his assistants, Kathleen Golding and Victor Gordon. Girls in the MIA scene were Gail Skinner, Jan Memmott and Becky Peterson. The family scene, with Myr-te- n and Vervene Grant, and their son Peter, were included Tim Welch, Joan Christofferson, Paul Gardner, Debbie Littleford, Nick Webb, as the family members, and Merrill Carson, a neighbor. The effect of understanding and encouragement for the boy's prowess in baseball brought about his success in playing his trumpet, with fair weather for the entire family. In the baseball scene, dressed in uniform, were Little Leaguers Kyle Zimmerman, Lynn Bridges, Mac Smith, Robert Brems, with Irene Eddlngton, Julie Jolley and Jaylene Paul as cheerleaders. Girls In dainty pastel robes who joined in the Slumber Party Scene, were Mary Searle, Claudia Ingram, Ruth Gray, Madge Fowler, Caroline Holdsworth, Linda Larsen, Susan Brown and Ann Hinton.

This also calls many more people into activity, was noted. He spoke of the tremendous expense that the church is going into to bring the Gospel to the world through missions, apart from the great amount spent by the individual missionaries and their families, genealogical research and microfilming. You can't afford not to pay tithing, he said, noting that the great responsibilities of the Saints are also their privilege, to be an Integral part of the progress of the church as a whole. There are thousands and thousands of members who faithfully fulfill the obligation of paying one tenth of their substance. This makes them eligible for the promise of blessings "poured out greater .than we can re-- 1 ceive." Have the faith and put the Lord to the test, he urged. He told of cases where they said they could not afford to pay tithing, and how, after paying the tenth portion that they were able to manage much better than before. We encourage people to go to the Temple," he said, "but many are barred from this because of non payment of tithing." He told of a family, living in a remote area, who carefully saved one tenth and turned it over to the missionaries when they came. A forest fire came and the family and their home was threatened. The course of the fire changed and they were unharmed, "saved from the burning." Barbara Covey, assistant professor at Brigham Young University and member of the General Board of the Sunday School, told of her recent experience at Stanford University, where she was a counselor and resident of a women's dormitory. The love and regard that developed for these girls as she helped them with their problems, was described. She expressed gratitude for the home life with her parents, the responsibilities shared and the teachings of her parents.

Rewith for to by maintain communication with the Lord, and the blessings derived through the payment of tithing were paramount themes of the Lehi Stake Conference sessions, Sunday. The responsibilities of LDS Church members in financial support as well as spiritual activation, was impressively explained. The power of prayer, for the individual as well as the family unit, was noted, with numerous examples given. Elder Henry D. Taylor, an Assistant to the Council of Twelve Apostles of the LDS Church, presided over the conference and was the featured speaker. Also in attendance as speakers were Elder Stephen R. Covey of the General Priesthood-MissionaCommittee, and Barbara Vance of the General Sunday School Board. Stake President Herman C. Goates conducted both sessions. The morning session opened with the congregation singing, "Redeemer of Israel," directed by Arnold Brems, stake music director, and accompanied by Mrs. Eva Carson, stake organist. Worley offered the opening prayer. Special music was provided by the combined choirs of Jhe Third and Fourth Wards, with Allen Green and Lornell Bate-ma- n as directors, respectively, and ReMae Hadfield and Carole Peck, accompanists.

THE LEHI FREE PRESS Annoying Calls Mountain States Telephone reported recently the combined efforts of the company and Utah law enforcement authorities have resulted in considerable success so far this year in identifying persons making obscene and annoying telephone calls. Eugene L. Britt, local manager for the telephone company, reported that here In Utah "an average of about once every two weeks law enforcement officers have made an arrest on an annoyance caller." Within the last two weeks, one man was a r r e s t e d for placing false alarm calls to a fire station. Two others were arrested and convicted for attempting to get money from a family whose children they threatened to harm. 'Generally, calls run the range from threats to obscenities to pranks," he explained. "Most of them are not serious enough or repetitious enough to prompt their recipients to call the police. Some definitely are, however, and then we are usually summoned and requested to use line identification devices to 'trace' the caller." Those annoyance calls which do not require line identification are usually cases of incorrect dialing, children playing on the line or just a single random call. They generally stop without additional action. In other cases a simple number change solves the problem. Seldom is it necessary to employ identification measures. Britt suggests that the very best thing to do if one receives an annoyance call of any kind is to hang up. Apparently 'sick Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L.

He re- called the joy which has come to him since 1958 when he was set apart as an Assistant to the Council of Twelve Apostles, and the many young couples who come to the Temple to be married. This has brought great happiness to him, he said. Young people have great decisions to make, he said. Each one has gifts and talents, but all have not every gift. The development of these gifts and talents througheducationhaslong been stressed by the church, he explained. He urged some form of education beyond high school, either through college or by the developmen, of some vocation or skill, in order that they may be equipped to make a living and also provide for their families. "Do not rush into marriage," he admonished, "Go together long enough to know that you have common interests." He explained that young people are cautioned against too early marriage, and that only 10 per cent of child marriages succeed, he noted. It is a question of not only marrying the right partner, butitisbe-in- g the right partner. Courtship should be a continued thing. Keep close to the church, there is safety in it, he exorted.
