Mrs. Winnifred Hiown addressed the assembly, speaking on her experiences at the Joseph Smith Memorial Cottage at South Royabton. Vt. She felt it a great honor and privilege to reign as queen over the homestead of jibe Prophet Joseph Smith. In the cottage, which was erected over the exact spot of the prophet's home, jkmcc, beauty, and love reign supreme. The old original grav hearthstone where Hie babe was washed and dressed has been retained and placed in the modern cottage, and above it hangs the portrait jof his mother Lucy Mack Smith, done in oil. This hearthstone is a sacred and hallowed spot and the picture above it, is a source of comfort 'and inspiration to all who behold it. During the last vear 15,000 people have been received at the Memorial Cottage. Tenor solo, "In. God's Acre,"' was given by Joseph Paul. Sister Jeanetjc A. Hyde gave an address She called attention to on "Genealogy." the fact that the Prophet Joseph urged the Saints to be energetic in Saving souls and in carrying out this instruction, we must not forget our dead. We must collect and complete our family records, and go into the temples and have ordinances performed for those who did not have the. privilege to do this for themselves. Genealogical records have been considered of very great importance in all times. We will remember that Leiii was sent back to Jerusalem to obtain the records of his people, as well as the laws and commandments of Mose's. Every Latter-da- y Saint should read and study sections 127 and 128 of the Doc. and Cov- .- Sister Hyde announced "that a scries of lessons in genealogy will be given during the April, 1914, conference, and that each stake will be expected to send a delegate to take up the work, details of which will be given at the officers' meeting on Tuesday.
