As the Sixth of April, the day for the holding of our Annual Conference, falls on Wednesday, it has been deemed advisable to commence the Conference meetings on Sunday, April 3d, and they will be continued on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the last day being reserved for the transaction of the usual Conference business. It is hoped that this arrangement of the meetings will meet the convenience of the Officers and Saints generally, and that there will be a punctual attendance at the times appointed, John Taylor, Geo. Q. Cannon, Joseph F. Smith, First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. Des. News: HUSBAND, HOME, MOTHERHOOD. . What grand words! What tender thoughts each one of them inspires. They are to true women the most expresive of 8 flection and happiness of any to be found in the English language. Everything which makes life attractive to woman is linked and associated with one, or all of these. The three combined in a true sense lift the soul into an atmosphere of sublimity. The poor cottager is as rich in the possession of these precious blessings as she who treads the halls of a palace. Love, the element which exalts and purines the nature abounds In the associations of each of these conditions. Where true love is there is tenderness, joy, hope and faith in humanity, which ever inspires faith in a Supreme Being and aspirations for a higher life. How abundantly blest is she who clasps closely and sacredly in her heart the realizing sense that she is thus crowned even in her existence here. No wonder she is gentle, pure, constant and true, how could she be otherwise with so much happiness lying all around her. Let such a one continually offer up grateful orisons to heaven for the mercies of which she is the daily recipient One of the poets perhaps Moore, at any rate it was a man , said "When the list to the Gods was presented, etc They slipped in three blessings, wife, children No doubt these comprise the and friends. su.li of man's happiness in" its fullest and most complete sense, but for woman, husband, home and motherhood, are her cherished mine of gold and precious gems. Do women hold their blessings lightly? Many do. They sometimes have all these and yet do not appreciate the fulness of, enjoyment allotted to them; but were they ever deprived of them, how agonizing would be the terrible contrast of circumstances. And yet every woman's nature 1)8 for these hree things, the longings of her .: i black-letter- ed incompatibility. However, it is possible for women to do much to create happiness in the marriage relation and in the home. Certainly, it is necessary that a wise choice should be made at first, and having made it, build a family altar which shall be sacred to love and duty, and suffer no infringement upon its borders, but guard it jealously arid zealously, and invoke the blessing of God upon it always. And when one after another, children cluster around its holy precincts, let them feel the influence which rests upon it and reverence the devotion which makes it powerful for good, and never do aught to mar or detract from its beauty and symmetry. Do you ask of what this altar shall be made? Of the purest thoughts, the truest emotions, and fortified with respect for each other and honor for God. Never give expression to an evil thought which may take form, or it will assuredly leave its impress. A little thing will shatter it so frail and delicate is its nature.,., Watch the little things that may destroy Its beauty; for once it is soiled or defaced' the less will you observe it, and by and by yotr will cease to regard it with the tenderness and adoration once felt for it; and then farewell to happiness, save that which is momentary. The idol is shattered which gave home its prestige; for wanting the altar of love, how poor is all else, though furnished sumptuously. Think of it you whose "strings of pearls" adorn your brows like precious diadems, and never crush one, the least of all, beneath your feet, but connt them o'er and o'er, and touch them ever with a soft caress, and as time goes on, thev will grow more strong, until even storms may beat upon them and they will not be broken. to-da- y, HOME AFFAIRS.

Kimball, Secretary .Central Organization of Relief Societies will be sealed up eventually to be deposited permanently in the Historians Office. This idea of Sister Kimball's is a unique one and certainly is strictly original. The box contains photographs, manuscripts, etc., of quite a number of sisters and a few brethren, each one's package directed to the eldest female descendant, the box to be opened the 1st of April, 1930, by Mrs. Kimball's successor in office. A fuller description of the whole, with the dedicatory poem, will be published in April 15. Mrs. Margaret T. Smoot, is also preparing a box in the same way, we understand. That box will contain the name of each officer and member of the Primary Associations in Utah County. They were prepared by Mrs. Zina Y.
