Her First Counselor, SisterJulia Hess, was unanimously chosen to take charge of ,Jhe -- exercises which consisted of remarks from all the sisters present, ahd songs from the Primary Hymn Book; also an original poem was rendered by the author, Counselor Lucy A.

She cherished the love and good wishes of the sisters more than gold or silver. During, her sickness she had been near the "other side," but thought that if God would spare her longer she would serve Him better. Feared that we allowed our minds to 'dwell more, on. the.things of this world than on the things of God, which is not right; knew, she would be better. She blessed the sisters in all their outgoings and incomings, and invoked the blessings of God upon all His chosen ones. The Primary hymn, "Kay, speak no ill," wa3 sang, after whtch her Counselors. presented her with a beautiful plush wrap, bought bythe Primaries of the Stake, which was received with gratitude unspeakable. The sisters then sung, "The Spirit of God like7 a fire i3 burning," and then the tables were spread, and about twenty-fiv- e persons, including the Presidency of the Stake, the Bishop and Counselors and a number of brethren who were invited in after the priesthootmeeting, partook of a bounteous repast, after which the brethren administered to Sister Rogers, and then dispersed to their several homes, feeling that it was good to haxe been, there.
