Show THE LEHI FREE PRESS SEPT. 8. U77 THURSDAY. President Hsbe Address at r3o. fate Conference "We are in the world but cannot be of the world," said Stake President F. Russell Hakes, as he delivered the keynote address in the Lehi North Stake Conference last Sunday. He warned that it has been said "We must live a celestial life in a telestial world We can live a celestial life in a telestial world if we work togehter," he said, "if we unite, if our homes become a kind of celestial kingdom on earth." He cautioned that the Lord warned that "you can't abide it if you don't live it," adding that "He doesn't say we won't get here, just that we can't abide it." He told of the conditions surrounding much modern music and dance composition a few years ago. "I think the Lord is tired," he Sin-t- a continued, "of Latter-da-y who have accepted some of these things (referring to music, dance, etc.). cleaned them up a little bit, and then want to bring them into our Church recreation halls. This is not criticism," he added, "I issue it as a challenge. I think the Lord expects us to set our own standards of dress and recreation and dance. I am hoping in this Stake," he concluded, "that our youth, our leaders, will work toward this end. It will be fun, exciting. You are doing much of it now," he added. President Hakes asked all the young ladies who were wearing dresses they had made themselves to stand. He praised them for it and then reminded the audience that the young girls and women of the Stake were issued a challenge in last November's Stake Conference to attend Conference this November in dresses they had made them- selves. He indicated the challenge still stands and they will be recognized in Conference for this achievement. President Hakes again stressed the need to "take seriously all the areas of family preparedness. This is not an emergency approach," he cautioned, "but should become a way of life--we should not only have a year's supply but we should also be developing the skills necessary to produce and store our own and be independent." He praised Jim Crittenden for his valuable help in the area of physical fitness and invited Kenneth Cardon to come to the stand and relate his experience. Mr. Cardon said he took the film "Run for your Life," shown in general Priesthood meeting about six months ago, seriously. He stated that as a result of his running four or five days a week for several miles he "feels better emotionally as well as physically." "You cannot enjoy life," he added,if you don't feel good." President Hakes said that Mr. Cardon. who is in his 40's, has run five miles in 35 minutes. President Hakes said also that we live in a "glorious time and we have privileged information." He spoke of the dire need the church has for missionaries and cited some examples of the scientific strides, especially in the field of electronics, which soon will greatly aid our missionary work and translation efforts of the church. Some, he indicated, will use sophisticated items such as lazer beams. "We ought to have 100 percent of our youth in the mission field as they become of age," he concluded, "and everyone of our youth should be married in the Temple." President Hakes excused President S. Rex Zimmerman of speaking assignments because of a recent injury requiring hospitalization. President Zimmerman was able, however, to attend both sessions of the conference with the aid of crutches. President G. Dale Burgess, second counselor in the Stake Presidency, said "This is the Lord's Church. It belongs to Him and we have the privilege of belonging to that church." He gave some examples to illustrate that some feel the church belongs to the bishop or to some other leader. He read excerpts from a letter he received from a serviceman while he was bishop which stated the serviceman wanted to "be released from your church." He also told of the kindergarten child who one day asked him "How do you get out of this outfit?" President Burgess said he replied to the child that we have no choice. We "learn through life one way or another, good or bad." He then explained that this (the schools) is the method our society has selected for learni- ng. President Burgess also expressed regret that a young fellow, presently living in Alaska, could not bear his testimony as he had recently in the Eleventh Ward. He said that people do not have to be old to develop a testimony, adding that this young man "had has to defend the gospel." He also urged all Stake members to contribute regularly to the Stake Building Fund and cited two stakes in a nearby community that constantly have sufficient funds on hand to start construction on a building as it is required. He cited the rapid growth in the North Stake now and indicated a new building will be needed very soon, adding that construction cannot begin until the stake has half of its share of the total estimated cost. "We are suggesting," he said, "that everybody, if you aren't already doing it, contribute to the building fund on a regular basis. This is your opportunity," he added, "to lay up for yourselves treasurer in heaven." He also reported that the Cedar Valley Ward building addition is nearing completion and urged all to attend the open house when the time comes. Cheryl Dewey, Cedar Valley Ward, who has received a mission call to Guatamala, told of her experiences before deciding to fill a mission. She told of the anxiety prior to her decision, concluding that "I know this is what the Lord wants me to do. I have really discovered the value of prayer." Kurt Zimmerman, Lehi Eighth Ward, who is awaiting a mission call, told his reasons for accepting a call. "I have been given so much from the Lord," he said, "that this is a small way I can repay Him." Lowell Hardy, a Salt Lake County Seminary instructor, and Institute programs as they relate to parental responsibilities. "I hope all of us. he said, "will accept our responsibility in educating our children." spoke of the Seminary High Council member Byron J. Memmott spoke of the need, to develop priesthood leadership and responsibility. He related an experience of a youth doing things he shouldn't, telling how the boy's father had shed tears when he told the father, but the father accepted the responsibility for correcting the situation. "A good boy," said Brother Memmott, "is worth tears." He issued a challenge to the young men, asking "Can you be the young man your dad thinks you are? and if you are not, have you ever asked for help?" orThe customary half-hofeatured Marjorie gan prelude Higginson at the console.
