Bradley Life on earth is a monumental privilehow could a person ever count ge-just all the beautiful blessings, the miraculous things of our earth that most people fail to see or appreciate. There is the miraculous living earth itself that does have and create lif there is the awe inspiring birth of a new human being. I think all parents have looked in amazement at the perfect, minute parts of their new born child and have felt drawn to their knees in gratitude to be cowith God. When we think of all living matter upon this earth every little green thing every crawling and flying creature every bit of rock and all substance all within its own sphere of life Oh how can anyone doubt that there is a God and that He partners organized this earth from other living elements from other spheres. Each day o'.' breathing is a miracle. The folding of a fist the smile the eyes opening yes, all things we are accustomed to see and usually are not at all awed by it all. Yes, we watched the moon walk and the whole world stood breathless yet the birth of my child or grandchild is the far greater miracle. We are fashioned like our God that is stupendous we can become like him that is incredible. Yes, it is a monumental privilege to live on earth just one moment and if we do work for and seek Gods greatest blessings we too can be creators of worlds how blessed is man yet how very undeserving in most cases. STAKE NEWS Members of the Elberta Branch enjoyed a very special Branch conference on Sunday evening August 23. President Max E. Nelson presided over the meetings on Sunday which included sessions of Sunday School, Priesthood and Sacrament Meeting, as weU as over the Saturday evening session. Branch President Hal P. Schul-thi- es conducted the Sunday evening session. WiUiam Raddatz, High Councilor over the Branch presented the theme, SustainHe said, If you love and ing Authority. sustain your Bishop and Stake President, then you show you sustain by paying your budget, etc. With the new plan in the church where all ward organizations are sustained by the budget, then we must all sustain the Bishop financially as well as by the raised hand. Branch President Schulthies gave a report of the growth of the Branch and also stressed that all needs of all church organizations, will be supported by the He stated that no organization Budget. will be fund raising and thus it will take support and devotions from each of us to lift the load so it will not be great. He also explained that to teach temple marriage to our children is to save them and also support our authorities. Sister Leola spoke to the subRespect for the ject, Priesthood, and said, by respecting parents; encouraging brothers and father to attend meetings. She also said, In this day of leudness and sin we need the Priesthood to give dignity, honor, character, quality excellence, in our lives. Counselor Wesley Brown told the congregation that if men do good they shall in no wise lose the blessings promised. He challenged, Be wise, and willing servants in building Chapels, helping the needy, teaching, strengthening. He added, Our children will soon be leaders mould their live have prayers together, ask for guidance, respect honor that we might go back into Celestial Kingdom. Counselor William Penrod said, We raise hands to sustain authorities and do so again in six months what do we do in between do we sustain them by going to Sunday School, Sacrament Meeting, Relief Society, Priesthood, etc? Or do we let other things take their place. He challenged, Repent and become converted to the Gospel we must not procrastinate the day of our repentance. Brother Carroll Davis presented stake and Branch authorities for sustaining vote. Don Franks, President of 3rd Quorum of Elders, spoke to the subject, Spirit of Quorum Brotherhood, emphasizing that if there is a good spirit within the Quroum then it usuaUy follows that there is the same feeling in the wards. There must be a spirit of cooperating with the Bishopric to influence the Quorum functioning. He said that working on projects together was unifying, such as cutting the six tons of pine wood for missionary fund, that had given a united front to their Quorum. Lynn D. Crook, Stake MIA Superintendent presented the last possible MIA General Board Hall of Fame award to Brother Wesley and Sister Ruby Brown for outstanding achievement in Era Drive. Brother Crook also spoke of the time when the Pr(ophet Joseph Smith was killed and how those who were devoted and devout Oram, How Can I Show My members were able to see the Mantle of the Prophet fall upon Brigham Young those who were not were unable to see. He urged the members there to support, stay in tune with the Spirit of the Lord, and not to question the new programs of the church. He explained that the new Adult program will move toward time where all family activity and church activity will be as one when it will thus be easier for us to follow our leaders and keep the commandments. Sister Donna Davis, Counselor in Stake Relief Society stated that she was thrilled at the coming new changes in the organizations, and that it is inspired and certainly for the welfare of the people. President Carroll H. Davis praised Branch for their decision to hold their own MIA separately from Goshen Ward. He urged Home Evenings with our families and stressed that when we leave all teachings of our children up to the church organizations sometimes we canbe very sorry at later date. He said, If we will sustain authorities of church we will reach ultimate goal of church, to go back into Celestial Glory with our Father in Heaven. Baptism is the gateway but Temple marriage is necessary for this. He challenged us to teach our children from tiny tots to pray that they will be married in Temple. President Max Nelson was the concluding speaker who praised all parts of this Branch Conference. He stated that the time will come when all men will recognize that Jesus is the Savior of the World. He stressed the fact that Sabbath is for man and not man for the Sabbath, and to the degree that we honor and keep the Sabbath of the Lord, will be made evident to God of our devotions to Him, and also that the world will see it also. He said, The principle of faith plays a part in the Law of the Sabbath Day and he asked, when we work in fields on Sabbath Day is it fear of crop failure when we seek pleasure on Sabbath is it a selfish reason what reason do we have to fear Why do we place our faith in the arm of flesh and not on the Arm of God? President Nelson quoted from Leviticus, Chapter 26 wherein the Lord said, Ye Shall Keep My Sabbaths, and reverance Then my Sanctuary: I am the Lord. many verses of the chapter were quoted giving the promises of the Lord if we will keep the law of the Sabbath. Be sure to read the above section you will be very glad you did! Prayers were offered for the Conference on Sunday evening by former President Carl A Patten and by Henry Roberts. Many Stake leaders of organizations were also in attendance. El-be- rta Stake Activity Calendars are now in hands of Stake leaders thus we will be able to report future activities to help you program your family devotions and concerning all stake events. All Stake officers are reminded of their pledge to attend the Temple at least monthly. By Ruth Rothe 754-34- Mrs. Gael Fitt of Salt Lake City spent Sunday at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Peterson. She accompanied her cousin, Miss Joan DePew who visited with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack DePew of Payson. Rex Peterson, former resident ofSanta-qui- n, who was injured in an industrial accident at his place of employment, is reported to be improving. Mr. Peterson sustained serious injuries to his leg when a piece of heavy equipment fell on it. He was taken to the Utah Valley Hospital where it required several hours of surgery on his knee and other parts of his leg. The injury happened several weeks ago and he will probably remain in the hospital for several weeks. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Peterson of Santaquin and was married to Dawnella Greenhalgh. Dawnella died recently of a serious illness. Mrs. Gordon (Arlene) Heelis is at her home after a stay in the University Medical Center in Salt Lake where she underwent exploratory catherization of the heart. Mr. Reuben Peterson who spent a month in the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City where he underwent head surgery is now at his home. Down through the years attitudes and ideas change. I have especially noticed the feelings people have concerning smoking. For years it seemed that smokers and shared the idea that it was up to each individual to decide what he would do about the matter, but in many cases smokers looked upon as fuddy duddys and old fashioned ones at looked upon those that, and who used the weed as sinners or something close to it.-- . When the Surgeon General made his report public and let the public know how harmful the habit could be people began to wonder if after all it really was just something which each individual could look upon in a lighthearted manner. Then when the more recent tests gave proof that not only did the cigarette smoke cause damage to the health of the individual smoking but could also be harmful to those who were forced to inhale the stale smoke people began to get some new ideas on the subject. who had formerly put up with smokers at sports events, traveling, at meetings, conventions, dining, etc. now began to see that they must for their own welfare stand up for their rights on the Non-smok- matter. The latest surveys indicate that smokers are no longer in the majority and if they are determined to keep the smoking habit THEY must pay the price. Airlines and other businesses are finally making new rules and regulations which make it necessary for the smoker to go to another part of the plane if he chooses to smoke and many other firms are following the same practice. This still leaves the individual his free agency to smoke if he cares to but he must not make others, who do not choose to, suffer because of his choice. I heard a TV entertainer say recently that as a he had for years in his traveling and elsewhere tried to be patient with the smokers who blew smoke in his face but now that he knows the harm it can do he has a new approach on the matter. He says that when a smoker takes a seat beside him and inquires, Do you mind if I smoke? he says that his standard No I dont mind if you answer is this, smoke if you dont mind if I vomit. He hasnt been bothered with much smoke lately. So if you are a smoker dont be surprised if people rebel at breathing your smoke. And if you are a stick up for your rights. Times have changed. er Mrs. Amber Wickman was taken to the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City Monday morning for further tests on her eyes. Loynell Greenhalgh, son of Mrs. Lizzie Greenhalgh was taken to the Payson Hospital Thursday night where he is suffering from an illness.

They are delighted with the stately old home, and are decorating each room in colors that will harmonize with the decorative stained glass at the tops of windows and doors. They love the Victorian bathroom, the open stairway and the airy upstairs bedrooms.
