A reception was held in the headquarters in the Bishop'g Building, and the upper room or banqueting hall was decorated with flags, banners and flowers, and made beautiful in every detail. The General President, Mrs. Louie B. Felt, who has served now thirty years, was shown every mark of respect possible. President Joseph F. Smith, himself in his remarks on the evening of the reception made special mention of her long service and inag nificent work. President Felt is. very ably assisted by Miss May Anderson, who relieves her of much of the responsibly and detail work, and Mrs. Clara Woodruff Beebe and the secretary, Mrs Olive D. Christensen, are specially qualified also, and the members of the Board who travel in the interest of the assoiations are very earnest and devoted women.' In speaking of this Primary work mention should be made of its founders and especially of Sister AureliaS. Rogers, who was instrumental in evolving the thought of an organization for the little people besides the Sunday School, feeling that was not quite adequate to all the needs of helpful teaching of the youngest of the chil The development of the dren of Zion. thought is in a large degree due to others.

Altogether there was much variety and great improvement in the status of the work, and much interest we believe has been aroused by means of the display made of the efforts to teach by doing. . . ; y h'-ni- . EDITORIAL NOTES. At a recent meeting of the officers and General Board of the Relief Society held at their own headquarters in the.Bishop's Building, resolutions were adopted pledging the society to use its influence everywhere against the barbarous noises and ruinous employment of fire and gunpowder which has for some years past characterized the great general holiday of the nation. The Relief Society makes a direct appeal to its membership in all branches and stakes of this great philanthropic institution to stand for a sane and safe observance of the national holiday, as they do for peace and good order at all times. e - . s -- - y co-labor- er June 17th, 1910, was the 87th anniversary of the venerable and sister, Julia Cruse Howe A beautiful afternoon reception was tendered her by her sons and la w at the residence of C.
