Tha feature of the morning aervicea waa the address of President Smith, while the sustaining of auiboritle and speech of Apostle Reed Smoot held tbe closest attention lu lbe afternoon. The most important development of the day, aa far as President Smith's speech is concerned, was his Invitas tion to all faithful, all and Saints In good standing, to examine the- - books in which are kept the tithing accounts. He said those who paid tithes were welcome to look in the book and see, but that he didnt propose to let every Tom, Dick and Harry" in the country pry Into tbe records. President Smith openly defied any man to prove that a dollar of tithing money had been wasted or stolen, and expressed gratification at tbe increasing tithes. President Smith welcomed the Latter- lay Sainta to the conference and expressed his gratification at the unusually large attendance. In his open-bi- g remarks he said that the authorities of tbe cburch had been active and diligent in the performance of their duties during the past six months, lie reported missionary work In good shape, with the exception that the demands for young men to preach the goapel were greater than the supply. Urge amounts have been expended la the erection of meeting houses in wards and for a take houses, H aald President Smith. The tru3tee-ln-trus- t has been called on to furnish large sums of money for tile erection of churches, meeting bouses and also bouses of entertainment. 1 would like all to know that the ohurch of Latter-da- y Sainta believes not only in houses of worship, but of Instruction and amusement rtbat the people may have places for young people to gather in dance atd the enjoyment of desires of the heart In righteousness. Counselor John K. Winder and Counselor Anton H. Lund also spoke at the morning session. Apostle John Henry Smith, Rodger Clawson, Reed Smoot and Hyrum Smith were the speakers at tbe afternoon session of the conference. John Henry Smith paid an eloquent tribute to the mission workers of the church. In conclusion he bore testimony that the present head of the Mormon cburch waa honest, able, upright, fearless, aa all other presidents of the church had been. Rudger Clawson appealed to the congregation to know if President Smith and all the others who had addressed the conference had not spoken by the spirit of God. Apostle Reed Smoot laid that he knew the gospel of his church waa true, and that the work of the authorities waa the work of God. 1 say to you, Later-daSaints," he said, that people never had any more confidence jn any man or any set of men, than they hare In the presidency of the cburch today. The adversary la trying to atlr up strife, to set people against the autboritiea by making unjust attacks upon them, but he'll fail In thla Just as sure aa the sun rises." After a brief address by Apostle Hyrum Smith, President Smith presented the names of the authorities and church officers to be sustained by the conference. All were sustained without opposition.

Smith, ss trusUe-iDtruBrigham II. Roberts address, or that portion devoted to the chargee of the Juxepbites, was in direct answer to (he siteech made by the president of the Reorganized church in Salt Lake City Sunday, September 24. The president of the reorganized movement is the son of Joseph tha prophet, and claims that the succession came rightfully to him. In his speech Elder Roberta claimed that never had the Mormons, ss individuals, more rights, and that the great power centered In the president was exercised with moderation. He denied a statement made by tbe church president of the dissenting that the world at large had been so prejudiced against the Mormon doctrine by the followers of Brigham Young that they were refusing to embrace the new faith. Apostle Penrose, while making no direct reference, dwelt on the charge that there hail been a hiatus' or following the prophet's death, aud, in a speech preceding that of Elder Roberts, vigorously upheld the succession of Brigham Young. The attraction of the last day at tbe state fair did not thin the attendance at conference a whit, something like 5,509 persons being present st each session. Apostle George A. Smith delivered the opening address at the morning session. He rejoiced that the Saints were a peculiar people, hut rebuked an apparent tendency to overlook forgiving those of the authorities wbo had, perchance unknowingly, offended some member of the church. He gave the Mormons counsel that if they felt affaira were not gulug right in Zion It was their duty to look into their own hearts and aee if they could locate the trouble and dissatisfaction there. Frank Y. Taylor, president of the Granite stake, followed Apostle Smith and during his remarks paid a glowing tribute to President Smith. Patriarch John Smith, one of tha most venerable members of tbe church, made u brief statement, bearing his testimony to the troth of bis religion, but explaining that the condition of his health and voice ran- dered It Impossible for him to speak at length. W. T. Jack, president of the Cassia, Idaho, stake, besides eulogizing President Smith and other leaders of the church, spoke feelingly of President Roosevelt for tbe work that thla man of destiny is doing In reclaiming the arid wastes of the west. Probably the greatest crowd that ever attended services In the tabernacle was present at tbe closing session of the conference. President Smith, speaking of the enemies of the church, said: 1 ask for thla mercy upon my enemies, upon those who slander me and He about me. I ask God to pity them, and to hare mercy upon them! I ask. God to pity thoae who are misguided! 1 ask God to have mercy upon tboee who do this with their eyes open, and I ask God to pity them, because they need God's pity and mercy more than the others! I would not harm a hair of their heads for all I possess in the world! And I ask my brethren to keep their bands off ttynn. Dont touch them! Dont touch those who are paving their way to destruction! Let them go! Give them the liberty of speech they want, and let them write their own doom! It doesn't hurt ub,- and If It does them any good let them do It! This conference la n testimony that Mormonlam la not dead nor sleeping, but a living entiry, and is still doing. Let the world know st. it" Another feature of the afternoon meeting was a remarkable story of a vision told by Samuel W. Richards, brother of the late Apostle Franklin D. Richards, and a member of the quorum of the seventy. Nauvoo regrets having driven the Mormona out, and would gladly welcome them back, declared German E. Ellsworth, president of the northern states mission, at the morning meeting of the conference. "You do not hear or the Latter-daSainta' missionaries stirring np discord, laying traps, telling Ilea, and doing that which will bring their opponents discomfort, said Elder Ru-kS. Wells of Salt Lake, in speaking of the peculiarities of the Mormons. But you find them traveling without purse or scrip, often going hungry and enduring indignltlea to which they have not been accustomed.
