president ta taylor lor said these peo people P e described by me the statements rea read are those who are so horri ned lied at the immoral situation in utah and come our would be reformers ile he was gratified that men could be found who are ready to denounce such abominable practices his purpose in having those statements read react in relation to infanticide and other crimes was twofold two f old fold one was to exhibit the true character of those who perpetrated them and the he other was to warn the saints against such characters some of whom were endeavoring to insinuate themselves hem selves into the society and houses of the people of god no such persons could have any lot or place gr ace among the saints and on no consideration could they be permitted to enjoy the privileges of the gospel he warned the officers of the church against giving recommends to adulterers murderers or either or women who are guilty cuilty of the unnatural crimes which had been defined in the extracts which had been p presented resented he directed that those guilty of such practices be cut off the church and requested that allwoo favored this view should say aye the response was a shout of ayes that seemed almost to make the building tremble president taylor then changed the tenor of his discourse branching upon the temporal affairs of the saints ile he gave an interesting review of the experiences perien ces of the saints in id this connection in the past there had been a depression of late in monetary affairs a jd jel improvements in the shape of new buildings had not been to so numerous recen recently tl a as soma time ago he d described scribed ascribed a visit by himself alt and associates in the priesthood to what are now known as the bannock and oneida stakes where the land and other facilities are good and settlements are growing up more people are wanted to help heip elp develop those portions of the country and a similar situation exists in the south those who are out of employment employs ent are wanted to go to such places where there is plenty of room there are room and opportunities for all kinds of me chanles chantes es especially in the building lines aswell as ier well weli as other branches ot of business in bannock and other outlying in St Stake akesa sand d who llad had no work in 11 the older settled parts should make their the morel more sparsely po populated u portions of the country the he speaker had advised in the newly formed settlements that when tho the people build houses they should construct t t t them h ein eln according accord ln to a comely and intelligent plan thit beautiful beautia ua homes may day be reared those who wished to adopt this advice about coins into the country should call upon bishop preston that the method of getting to those places may be decided upon in answer to questions put by president taylor to president ricks of bannock and president hendricks of oneida onelda stake as to whether they could employ a number r of new settlers acquainted with the various branches of Industry they responded in the affirmative the next topic touched upon was the situation of Z C 31 1 which

seive s and help to accelerate these industries that wo we may gradually become self supporting president taylor expressed regret at the carelessness that had bad been exhibited edby by many people indebted to the perpetual emigration fund four years ago of ane amount due that fund had been forg forgiven iven to those owing offing it about the same amount as that named still remained upon the books and since then but of that surn sum had been refunded brindl visuals obligated this was a lamentable showing and if the law of god were lvere applied to those who bad been so negligent 1 in relation to paying their jest if debts wi s and thus robbed the poor of their rights some of them would bave hive to be severed f from rom the church APOSTLE heder heber J gl hoped that he might inight en enjoy M oy a portion ol of the same spirit i had prompted tie tit utterances of all the s speakers a krs at the conference lie ile cou con could conid well weli ell understand der stand that to live our religion requires a constant exertion on our part lubrien in brief the tho whole of this reli reil rion is to live ilves livis live s of righteousness many bell beli believed eved eyed that it U they are barely able to hold a standing in the church they are still living their religion the fallacy of such an idea that simple faith or belief without works was sufficient was briefly touched upon and tile the speaker declared it his belief that no person who does nothing toward building the houses of god bad a right ta enter those houses and take part in i the blessings and privileges therein conferred Ite feiring to our position in the world lie he said honest upright men not of us recognize the merits merita of the saints and their honesty of dealin dealing while it is only by those who are not th em selves above reproach that the talu calu calumnies ealum calum mules nies against us are set in cincu atlon ile he regretted the growing tendency among the saints to run into debt and urged farmers 1 in I 1 n the purchase of machinery to tse ase more wisdom and the people generally to adopt a moret maret calothy method of Sulli sufficient clent instruction st had been given at this con co n ference to enable the saints if they won id observe it to make a great improvement pro on their past record and he prayed that they might be enabled to do so APOSTLE JOHN W

discern cern the signs of the tile times john the revelator had been moved to cry out concerning cerni ag tile the J judgments that would come upon the earth and etwas it was t to 0 escape these and
