Henry Rogers said: "The labors fa the Lamanite mission were great; prejudice should be removed from our hearts in regard to them. "There is a great field open before the and siftmembers of ers; funds are needed; theemall amount being raised is not feufficient to meet the demands.' Bishop Pomeroy felt that the Relief sisters . were a great help to the ward, especially to! the sick. Had listened with pleasure to the report from the Papage JVard. "If we could .just spare a little ! more of bur means for the of this mission; the - fifty cents per month called for from the head of each family i3 not much, but if all would pay, it would be. some few pay regular, while by far the greater part are very careless in regard to it." Spoke of the spirit of ridicule, which some indulged in, and its pernicious efiecls when carried too far. v ;; i Brol Allen had visited the Papage ;Ward, and understood in a measure the difficulties they have to encounter who labor there. Iet us be filled with the spirit of charity towards each other and be one in all things thaf the peace and blessings of God may be with us;. A Lamanite sister ipoke a short time, which ' was interpreted by Sister Susan Savage, the substance of which wa3, that the whitd people had taught them what was good, and it was her joy, to her hearthe felt that they were alt tisters.
