At last a fine specimen was obtained for It was delivered in the morning, $10. and it came to pass that a new servant, from the depths of the country, opened Hei the door to the delivery boy. mistress was out; there was not a soul to instruct her In the code of ethics as Is it for the ta- applied to parrots. Without doubt, she asked. hie? was the wicked reply. Whereupon the parrot was dispatched at once, plucked, trussed and put into the oven. He was just turning a beautiful brown when the mistress of the establishment returned, and that same evening the little servant from the country was back among the ducks and drakes of her own village green, a wiser and sadder girl. Nicholson offered prayer, and then the choir sang- "Our God, We liaise to Thee Thanks for Our Blessings Free." President Snow- first addressed the congregation. He said that he was grateful for the beautiful morning, that he hoped all the Latter-daSaints were grateful therefor, and hoped they would exercise their faith that the beautiful weather might continue throughout the conference. He said that many of the people had come long distances to the conference, had made sacrifices in order that they- might come, but he was sure that the benefits which they would derive would more than repay them for their inconveniSaints had. been ences. Latter-dablessed of the Lord, but they needed His blessings more than any other people in order to carry out his purposes, as they had been revealed to the Latter-day Saints. Every man and woman Saint worthy to be called a Latter-dashould live day by day ami week by week so that if they should he called suddenly from this life into the next life, they would be prepared to go. Men and women should learn to control their passions, to bring all their physical powers and gifts and faculties into perfect obedience to the mind. Latter, day Saiuts were not here to contend with anybody, but were here to move slowly along and perform their own duties, to mind theirown business, and let other people do the same, or not. as they saw proper, and by so doing the Saints would move forward and gain an experience that would always be useful to them. Apostle Rudger Clawson followed President Snow, and the trend of his remarks was to establish that obedience is the cardinal principle of the gospel. He said that the Lord is very strict, and when he gives a commandment he expects the children of men to obey it, and said he w ill not be mocked at and treated lightly in these last days. Then lie told of the revelation which Iresident Snow- had received in regard to the paying of tithes; he said the law of tithing was very simple, but people had put private interpretations upon the word of the Lord, but he said the Lord had done his part tow ard the Latter-da- y baints and they should certainly do theirs toward the Lord ly h of their annual giving him incomes. - d Training Dogs to Assist Relief Jarties. For the last five years a society founded under the auspices of Herr Bungartz, the animal painter, has been training Scotch shepherd dogs to assist the relief parties in discovering the whereabouts of wounded in battle, and a few days ago the general in command of the ambulance maneuvers in connection with the Eighth German Army of Corps, near Coblentz, allowed four these sagacious creatures to take part value was in the exercises.

Tne Lord had announced through his servants the necessity for putting this principle clearly before the people. The law of tithing, he said was the revenue law of the church. One reason why- in per cent w as the amount named by the Lord was because that was just exactly the amount uecessury to try the souls of the children of men. He w arued his hearers that obedience to that law did not absolve them from living up to' others. Sins were not forgiven through the payment of tithing, those who asked that must rejvent and sin no more. mu s uuntl 'S. I'M sou Apos'le Joseph F. Smith spoke at length and said there was nothing of greater importance to the welfare of the church and of the people at large than the consideration of the law. of tithing, whereby means would be placed in the storehouse of the Lord to meet the necessities of the people, lie said if men would obey the law iu regard to the payment of tithing, there would he an abundance in the storehouse of the Lord, and it would he unnecessary for men to join benevolent societies in order that they might leave a thousand dollars or so to their widows after death: that the purpose of the storehouse was to provide for the widows and orphans of the .saints, and that men who belonged to the benevolent societies, which places a premium on death, were unable to meet He said their tithing obligations. that some of the people do not care w hetlier tlici r names are recorded hi the books of the church us faithful payer of tithe or not, hut that was because they were ignorant and do not understand the lienelits to he derived therefrom. He reminded, the congregation that the "Latter day Saints do not ask the Gentiles to feed their poor; we do it ourselves, and we feed hundreds and hundreds that are not of iv besides." lie said, too, that only those w ho had been faithful in the paying of their tithes had any claim upon the storehouse in time of need. r C 4 son's ADDRESS. Iresident Cannou occupied most of the day Sunday. To his mind the most responsible position for a human being to occupy was to stand up and address the people upon the things pertaining to God and eternity, aud lie therefore asked God's blessing upon his remarks, ami the faith and prayersof the Saiuts. He referred to the many excellent discourses given liy various brethren during- tluqfirst two daysof conference and said he did not see how any man or woman could hear those remarks without being convinced that God was with the speakers, and that what they said Jiad been dietated by the lie said the Saints of today are living in a very important time: that the Lord is evidently working with his servants and is manifesting his spirit in a remarkable innnner. He told of the great reformation which swept over the church in Is.Mi, and predicted that the present reformation among the Saints would lie greater than that. He said that whenever the Latter-da- y Saiuts had been faithful in keeping the commandments of God, they have been prospered; when they have been unfaithful, they have met with trouble and serious difiieolty. The Lord deals justly with his children, no matter who they are or hat their professions may he. Men accuse us of being unpatriotic; they accuse us of being not friendly; they accuse us of having designs inimical the peace and prosperity of the land. say to you today in the presence of God. and in your presence, that no more patriotic people live upon the continent of America than the Latter-daSairts. and we want to see the 'onstitution of this country preserved: that every' man shall have all the rights that are guaranteed in that g and instrument of liberty that God inspired the framers to make. And that is he feeling today, hut we differ from many people in regard to the manner in which the govermnentshall he administered, and. differing with men. vve think we have a right as free men, descended from a free ancestry, to express of feelings upon this point with the utmost freedom, and that vve are not traitors in doing so, hut we are the frienas of the country and of the government and of the riglitsof human Me beings under the government. woo'd like to see this government become stable and never be thrown down, an it can only be made stable by adhering to the principles which animated tin founders. ' he cln.n h authorities were sustained and conference adjourned. i - one-tent- WOODRUFF l (J. Woodruff SI COM) ad- - DAY. The second day was devoted .princi- pally to a discussion of the laws gova ml Hie temporal erning welfare of the church members. Apoktle John Henry Smith, at the forenoon session, urged the completion of the pioneer monument, and in the afternoon Apostle Joseph F. Smith spoke of secret societies and the present 'methods of supplying and regulating amusements for the young. The services were moie interesting than on the first day. Jn beginning, Iresident Snow, who was the first speaker, asked for the faith and prayers of the Latter-da- y Saints present that he might say something that would he of comfort and a l!e rather apoloblessing to them. gized for broaching the subject of tithing, saying that he had not to speak upon that subject inasmuch as lie had spoken recently- in all of the larger conferences of the Latter-daSaints in their own districts. However, he had requested two of the brethren to speak to this topic. He said that it w as the intention of the Lord that the land of Ziou should he obtained by purchase, not by conquest or by the shedding of men's blood. He told of the law of consecration which had been given to the Latter-daSaints, of their disobedience to that law. and of the w oes w h tell befell them in Jack sot. county. Apostle John Henry Smith declared that lie believed truly and thoroughly that if each law established in the Lords hou.e w as strictly observed, a great victory would have been gained, lie wanted, lie said, to speak of the finishing of the pioneer monument f of the contract price About had been paid, hut that was for the The brethren and work f modeling. sisters had not recognized their responsibility in connection with that work. It was the will of the president that the vvoik should he done or it would never have been started. He declared that more had been done upon the monument than had yet been paid for, and the man who had done it wanted his money.
