"Two sacred volumes, two testaments speak of this most glorious of all events in all of human history." he said. Thomas S. Monson, first counselor to Hinckley, said that Christ's resurrection prov ides to all eternal life. "Our Lord and Savior brought to each of us the reality of this truth." Monson noted, and added Christ's own words to the grieving Martha: "I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." Elder L. Tom Perry, a member of the Twelve Apostles, also spoke during Sunday's morning session and addressed the topic of the sacrament, in which bread and w ater are shared and passed among members of LDS congregations as a symbol of their commitment to Jesus Christ and his teachings. "As members of the church, we should delight in the privilege of partaking of the sacrament, and affliction. Oaks said the church's founder was about his shortcomOne the first revelations of ings.

Continued from Page A i ! Wallace quoted President Hinckley as saving Mormonism is "the most demanding religion in America." Hinckley" said" "It is 'demanding and that's one of the i I things that attracts people to it. It stands as an anchor in a world of shifting values." Other prominent members of ; 'the church were interviewed as well, including Steve Young, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers; Bill Marriott, chief of the Marriott hoiel chain: and Orrin Hatch, senior U.S. senator from ; Utah. All confirmed their belief in the doctrines and teachings of the church. Steve Benson, however, does not feel the same way Benson is an and the grandson of former president of the church Ezra Taft Benson. The younger Benson said the church does not allow for its members to think freely and for themselve ,. He said that once the prophet has spoken, members are expected to "prav. pay and obey." President Hinckley denied that philosophy and said members are encouraged to think and choose for themselves. "Our people have tremendous liberty and are free to live their lives as they please." The subject of male dominance was introduced because women in the LDS Church do not hold the priesthood. Wallace reported, however, that most women don't want to be priests and are satisfied with their gender role. In keeping with tlie spirit of missionary work. President Hinckley took advantage of an opportunity to invite Wallace to consider the teachings of the church. When Wallace said. Tve thought about it I've not been able to persuade ; ; ; ; President myself," Hinckley replied, "You haven't thought about it long enough." SALT LAKE CITY LDS Church President Gordon B. Hincklev elaborated a bit Sundav on church leaders' plans to erect a new building here church conferences will be conducted sometime in the future. The present Tabernacle, located west of the temple on Temple Square, comfortably seats about 6.(X)0 people. "Some of vou seated on those hard benches for two hours mav question the word 'comfortably.' " quipped President Hinckley during the ItSoth Annual General Conference. "My heart reaches out to those who wished to get in and could not be accommodated." The church leader said the new edifice would accommodate more than three times the number of people who can be seated in the Tabernacle. He added: "We recognize, of course, that we can never w 10-ac- re m S, V a 1P J W C Tick a term of 18 months. 3 or 5 years and invest if rates go as little as $500.

Membership now totals more than 9.4 million people, more than half of whom live outside the United States. President Hinckley described the proposal: "The structure we envision will not be a sports arena. It will be a great hall with fixed seating and excellent acoustics. It will be a dedicated house of worship, and that will be its primary purpose. It will be fashioned in such a way that only a portion or the entire hail may be used according to need." Studies have m progressed to the poli.t to enable church leaders to make a detailed announcement on the new assembly hall but.

By teaching children gospel principles, parents can give them a reserve of know ledge and memories that can counteract the influ ence of certain movies, television programs and songs, she said. "Sometimes the seeds we plant may not bear fruit for years, but we may take comfort in the hope that someday the children we teach will remember how have they 'received and heard' the things of the Spirit, warner said.
