( Horsley presented the general and stake authorities, all of which were unanimously sustained. In a few remarks, Pres. Horsley stressed the importance of sustaining the authorities. He also emphasized the importance of parents setting a proper example before their children. Elder Orson J. Olsen gave a report of his recent missionary labors in the Hawaiian Islands and told of the work being accomplished at the new temple at Laie. He also told of the manner of conducting meetings in the islands and of the work there. Elder Smith was the next speaker. He bore a strong testimony to the principles of the gospel, saying that he accepted them all. The speaker said he had been a student of theology and in all of his research work, had found nothing of a religious nature that could equal Mormonism. was A duet, Love Divine, rendered by Mrs. Laura Anderson and Mrs. Wendell Jensen, accompanied by Mrs. J. Ell Jensen. Elder Whitney was the next speaker delivering a wonderful address on the principles of Mormonism. He referred to the prophesy made by the Prophet Isaiah, 700 years before the coming of Christ, which predicted restoration of the gospel and the special calling of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The speaker said to some it seemed very peculiar that many of the great men and students of 'modern times, who have come closely in touch with Mormonism and the Mormon people, such as Abraham Lincoln, Horace Greely, William Jennings Bryan and others, had not been converted to the gospel. He said this fact was not astonishing to himself, for the Lord had special work for these noble and Intelligent men to perform outside' of 'the church. We are not the only people," he said, who are carrying on God's work, but it must be re membered that we are the only people who have the authority from on high, and It is our mission to preach the gospel to the nations of the earth. President I Lee made a few closing remarks, in which he expressed his appreciation of the faithfulness of the people of the Box Elder stake, and of the presence at the conference of Elders "Whitney and Smith.
