Other speakers during the afternoon session were Elders Ezra Taft Benson and Alvin R. Dyer of the Council of the Twelve; Elders Sterling W. Sill and James A.

It is whats being done in foe name of civil rights considered nadian stakes. Elder Kimball expressed a belief that not a jingle actual lasting value comes to mankind from the liquor traffic and that the greed for money is at the root of it Evil and designing men who love darkness rather than light, sell the souls of men for filthy lucre, he charged. Alluding to the fact that liquor profits are used for school lunches in Utah, Elder Kimball asked: . . , Is fois a reason or a cover?

Elder Kimball was especially critical of foe widespread practice of serving drinks at Christmas parties. "Think of celebrating foe birtij of our Creator, the Lord, our Redeemer, our Savior, with a cocktail party! He called on Latter-daSaints to take the offensive to eliminate this curse.

Fall Of Adam; Then God's Plan selves; It teaches happiness that can crane only in keeping our bodies clean and pure; giving man an understanding of foe plan of salvation; it witnesses foe vindication that comes from the Father, as we give service to our fellowmen, and finally our Father witnesses to us his acceptance of our obedience to him in keeping his commandments, by a warm, sweet feeling of heavenly peace that burns within. Happiness Is not in having or being, it Is in doing, he said. The profound scriptural statement found in the Book of Mormon that Adam fell that men might be: and men are, that they might have joy gives a key to foe purpose of life. Elder James A. Cullimore, Assistant to The Council of The Twelve, made this the theme of his talk in the Thursday afternoon session of General Conference. He contrasted the belief of Christians that the fall of Adam and Eve brought shame and death to all foe human family to that of the Church which teaches that if Adam and Eve had not partaken of foe fruit their posterity would have lived on endlessly in peace, free from the temptation and problems of the flesh today. But foe Lord has revealed to us that only by foe Fall could his plan be accomsaid Elder Culliplished, more. He pointed out that foe gift of mortality would not have come to Adam and Eve and neither would they have, had posterity which made the present world possible. The Lord intended that his children should be happy and that they would have joy if they served him, he said. Quoting President Brigham Young, Eldar Cullimore said: In foe midst of the sorrows and afflictions of this life, its trials and temptations, the buffetings of Satan, foe weakness of foe flesh, and the power of death which torfown in it, there la no necessity for any mortal man to live a single day without rejoicing, and being filled with gladness It to necessary that we should be tried, tempted, and buffeted to make us feel the weakness of this mortal life. The restored Gospel is the way to joy and happiness, he said. It gives men truths to live by and a .knowledge they are free to act for them- Semi-Annu- non-LD- S A mini-teach- Semi-Annu- y, Speakers MISSIONARY REUNIONS - AROINTtNA Boot.
