President Young and President John Taylor warned against accepting too many people of this type into the organization with the danger of bringing collapse, hardship to dedicated members and eventually of the system. For a time, Orderville leaders stopped accepting any applicants. At every step of the United Order effort, dissatisfactions arose and a few members withdrew, frequently lowering the standard of living for those who remained. Withdrawing members had to be outfitted with wagons, animals, household goods and food so that they might make a new start elsewhere. By 1884, when the other orders and cooperative efforts throughout the Church had ended, some at Orderville wished for a change. Upon gaining membership, all of a person's property and belongings were turned over to the order, in return for stock in the organization. From the beginning, all men were given equal credit on the books no matter what type of or how much work they did. The same was true for the women, and for boys and girls, though credit was adjusted according to the children's ages. At the end of a year, each family started over on an equal basis.

Brother Griffin, who is a former president of the France Paris Mission and who has worked extensively in France with the U.S. Army and U.S. government, recognized many deficiencies in the present French hymnbook, which is almost purely a translation of its English counterpart.

In July 1900, which brought an end to the incorporation of the Order-vil- e United Order, a "homecoming" celebration was held. Invitations were sent to former residents and their descendants. Folks came "back home" from hundreds of miles away.

Other committee members include a doctor of musicology from Paris, two music experts from Switzerland and the wives of the' mission presidents Charles Didier, a native of Belgium, The poems have been read by members of the committee and those which were accepted as texts for hymns have been sent to composers on the committee who are still working on them. It is expected that at least a dozen new hymns will be added. CHURCH O'WEEK ENDING JUNE 28, 1975 . A .,.., , were compelling reasons in favor of dissolving the order. Finally, the members voted to discontinue the organization.

This equal-cred- it system was a source of dissatisfaction to many, especially some skilled craftsmen, and they pushed for a change to what was called the stewardship plan. Leaders of the order resisted such an idea, fearing that unequal credits would open the way for jealousy and inequality to creep in. However, with the sanction of the Church officials, a stewardship was eventually adopted. The project began two years ago when Brother Griffin outlined goals for a new hymnbook, interviewed several French-speakin- g music experts and recommended the project to the Council of the Twelve. 1 ?

Spread throughout much of the world, descendants of Long Valley's pioneers continue to share a strong bond of loyalty to "home" and friendship for one another. This year hundreds of them will go home to join in commemoration of Orderville's lOath anniversary. Centering around Pioneer Day festivities, July 24, centennial activities will fill several days.
