Lee 'Stood Ye So Holy Places" Stand ye in holy places Elder and be not moved, Harold B. Lee of the Counc'l of the Twelve warned at the Saturday morning session of conference in the Tabernacle, As long as we walk in the light of the revealed truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we need never walk in darkness but may always be sure of our course and "know whither Elder Lee said. (wo) goeth EVER PRESENT his hordes are ever present in the midst of us. We must make certain that when Satan conies as the Mas'er warned, he will have nothing on us, and will go away and leave us alone. Satan and Elder Lee quoted a prediction of Heber C. Kimball, counselor to Brigham Young, that warning the pioneers they were not secure in the mountains. ". . . The time is coihing when we will be mixed up in these now peaceful valleys to that extent that it will be difficult to tell the face of a saint from the face of an enemy of the people of God. . , . (Life of H. C. Kimball. p. 410). NOW IS TIME .Need I say more to iiiis people, in light of present threats to the influence of the King-dpof God in this state and elsewhere? Now is the time for the saints and righteous people in this and other lands to again revive that old rallying song of our fathers, Whos On The Lord's Side, Who? Elder Lee said. m es in our dispensation, the Lord then declared: Until the day cometh when there Is found no more room for them; and then I have other places w'hich I will appoint unto them, and they shall be called stakes for the curtains or the strength of Zion. PURE IN HEART Having noted that the righteous had beer, warned to flee unto Zion for safety," Elder Lee said that in one significant definition, the Church of God is called Zion, comprising the pure in heart. As one studies the Lord's commandments and attending promise upon compliance, one gets some definite ideas as to how we might stand in holy places as the Lord commands: For an abundance of heavens blessings payment of tithes ; KEEP UNSPOTTED To keep unspotted from the sins of the world keep the Sabbath Day holy; to be able to cell on the Lord and have observe the Fast Him hear Day of the Lord and deri out' your bread to the hungry; If you would escape the devastations when Gods judgthe ments descend upon wicked, keep the Word of Wisdom and other command-ment- s honesty, including moral purity and the laws of the Celestial Kingdom, then the destroying angel shall pass by them as the children of Israel and not slay them, he concluded. that throughout-histor- y the worst enemies of the Church have been persons within the Church and that the same condition might be " expected to be true today. noted WARS, RUMORS . . . ,Over one hundred years ago, the Lord spoke to our day as though we were then present: In that day shall be beard of wars and rumors of wars and the whole earth shall seem to be in commotion and r:;yConference-goer- s gather around Sea Gull Monument between sessions.

Placement program which now has 3,100 young Laman-ite- s in foster homes and attending school. A set of slides tided Exchange of Gifts brought the happy faces of many Indians from different tribes before the audience showing their progress in the Americas and the South Sea islands of the Pacific. The Church program is being adopted by other nations. CITES PROGRESS Progress of the work among the Lamanites in the Southwest Indian Mission was told by Hal Tayicr. recently released as president of the mission. He said the Chuich had as many as 40 young Indian missionaries spreading the Gospel among their own people. Elder Tuttle declared that today is the day of the Lamanites. He told of the difference in the attitude of Indians on reservations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Typical of this advancement is the fact that the Church has established an agency Board of Directors in each state of the U.S. and in Canada where there are Indian children placed through the Placement Program. Welfare Program Outlined Welfare is still a part of the program of the Church. It is not one of talk but one of action in taking care of the needs of the needy in the Church. These were the opening words of counsel given by Bishop John II. Vandenberg, Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, as he opened the 7:30 a.m. y Welfare-Agricultur- Meeting of General Conference in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. A capacity audience of stake presidencies, bishoprics, Relief Society presidents, high council members and welfare project operating committees filled every seat. WORK THEME The theme ef the meeting was work. Bishop Vandenberg, conducted the meeting, tribute to members who responded with labor to the needs of welfare projects. He We must put everything we have into the development of a great life, Elder Paul H. Dunn of the First Council of the Seventy stated at the Saturday morning conference session. NEXT STEP From self the next step is the family. Fathers and mothers are needed who will rise and stand upon their feet to make of their homes If we really want to build well, the first thing we must do is to have faith in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ, admit our weaknesses through sanctuaries in which children will grow in a spirt of obedience, industry and fidelity to tested standards of conduct. If our society is coming apart at the seams, it is because the tailor and the seamstress in the home are not producing the kind of stitching that will hold under stress. In the name of giving advantages, we have too often bartered away the rightful heritage of our children, he said. The third place ior reform is with the community and state. Here again there, is a call for men who will rise and stand against plans and programs which will expose our youth to influence that inevitably will trap some, Elder Hinckley reported. repentance and then seek baptism by those having proper authority in order that we unto come him, might Elder Dunn said. CAREFUL PLANNING He told of the careful planning that went into the conquest of Mt. Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary. What you set out to do this morning may not seem as difficult or INCLU DES LBD He said there were many such influences and he cited the present efrort to obtain in Utah as k one. None can honestly doubt that alcohol is a problem in our society. More than 25,000 deaths a year on our highare alcohol-related- . ways Drinking is recognized as a factor in a majority of serious crimes. It leaves in its wake a train of evils broken homes, abandoned children, unemployment and other social problems, he reported. There are those who, under the guise oi better control, are seeking to expand greatly the availability of liquor, provid ported. He praised the volunteer who have risen and now stand in opposition to this effort.-Thi- s is but one example of what can happen when a few men rise and stand for principle before the people. ln so standing, we honor a great heritage and leave a inheritance, greater Elder Hinckley concluded. as spectacular climbing Mount Everest, but you must apply the same principle. You must go step by step, with full desire and energy focused on the end you seek. Such is the law of success in every sphere of life. Water and food are so scarce in Palestine that their attainment becomes the chief concern of life there. Jesus contends that only when we are equally serious about attainwhen ing a righteous life we really hunger and thirst for righteousness shall we be filled, Elder Dunn said. NO GUARANTEE If we w'ant to build beautiful houses of life or to change the design of our present lives, if we wish to reach great heights in our upward climb toward eternal life, let us do aw'ay with all things and every thought that hinders our progress. A mere public announcement of faith will little hasten our progress. Simply joining a church and regularly attending all of its various meetings, is no guarantee. Only when we put faith, repentance and baptism first and seek righteousness in our thinking and, witliout serious regret, give up every conflicting desire shall we be able to reach the coveted goal, 'because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt. . 7:14, and 3 Nephi 14:14) GREAT MEN The great human advances have not been brought about men ;and by mediocre j j they have been achieved by distinctly uncom- - j mon people with vital sparks of desire, Elder Dunn said- Does honesty always bring material reward? Be goodj and you will be wealthy, L suspect that many of us! be- lieved that as children. How-- ? ever, some wealthy people' are not honest and some honv est people have never had many worldly possessions, We miss the point of , the Saviors teaching unless we realize that the reward of righteousness is something bigger, better and more beautiful than material gain. Envy, dishonesty and unfairness all of these are excess baggage and as such are hot worth what it costs to carry women; them with us. Even adults who have failed thus far still can build beautiful eternal lives. Perhaps we spend too much time worrying about the mistakes of our youth, forgetting that we as adults have the opportunity to continue building as the years J go by, Elder Dunn said. 1 Paths Of Salvation y -- re- With Faith' !

WHY SO DIFFICULT? With all the irrefutable testimonies of the prophets regarding the Gospel truths, why is it so difficult for man to accept and endure sound doctrine, wh'ch is so important to all of us? he asked. There are several reasons, he answered, identifying them as the influence of Satan, Communists and and the inclination of many to depend upon their own understanding. To overcome thse influences, it is most important that we and our children know and understand and apply the teaching of Jesus Christ in our- - lives. In older to understand we must be taught. NOT PERMITTED anti-Christ- , And yet, the Gospel, or the spiritual side of life, is not permitted to be taught in the schools. It is the general attitude of people that the teaching of the gospel should be left to the churches, but only a small percentabe of either the parents or the children attend church, where they could be taught. And to even that small minority who do attend, many of the churches are failing to teach sound, unadulterated doctrine as given to us by the Savior and the prophets, President Tanner added. In any event, as the Loid has said, the truths of the Gospel, which are the most important things in our lives, need to be taught in our homrs, The Loid has so stated, the speaker said. Parents, he admonished, tve must not become so engrossed in the worldy matters that we fail to teach our children the doctrines of salvation, both by example and by precept., W'e must teach them a belief, in God, that His Son, Jesus Christ, is the Savior of 'the world, who gave His life that we might be resurrected. H HAT COULD BE What a great world this would be to live iu if all parents would hold a weekly family home evening, and would teach their children the word of the Lord. Blessed is the person who can truthfully say that he believes in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghpst; and that through the Atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel; that he is prepared to repent and be baptized for the remission of his sir.s; and then accept and live the teachings of Jesus Christ. President Tanner concluded. 4 Tribes Join To Fight Poverty N.C.
