Elder John Henry Smith was the first an speaker and said he desired to awaken interest among the young folks in the gospel work and also to honor their parents in conforming their actions to th e wishes of their parents; referred to the men to prevailing tendency of young of ideas and things to consider their plans be greatly in advance of their father's. think Speaker urged the young ladies to the in world; woman best the her mother for the young man to revere his father more than any other man in the world. The speaker had used his own father as a criterion for him to compare all men never seen a by and was proud to say had tnaAao great as he. Urged young men to place their father and mother on the highest plane, to judge others by them, and rarely if ever will a mistake be made. Advised all present to see that they maintained the high standard their parents had established let the future generations be better than the past. Elder Penrose was the next speaker. He endorsed the advice given by Apostle Smith; urged that close attention be given this subject, as the relations established on this earth are maintained in the next world; our parents being at the head in our resurrected condition as well as here. The speaker advised parents to so con duct themselves as to command the love and respect of their children; give them no occasion to ever be ashamed of your actions. Our Savior ever showed His Father the'respect due a father and their love for each other was so great that they were one in all things. We should try and follow this rule as nearly as possible create that same bond between us, and our children as exists bet ween the Savior and God, Let the spirit of love and kindness ever guide us m our corrections of their faults, ever bear in mind our duties toward the children. The mother is the first and most effective shaper of a child's life. Teach the child faith in God teach it to pray to God in prosperity as well as in trouble; teach a a child repentance as well as faith; what it is, as well as how to repent. If we do this then the responsiblity for a failure will not be on us but instead on the child himself. Carry an air of kindness and humility at all times and our girls and boys will respect, love and honor our memory as Brother Smith does his father's. We want our children to be better than we are. We want to carry on the great work of redemption, not only in this life, but in the life to come. Archie Brown then sang the solo, "Let Us All Speak Kind Words. President Jos, H. Grant was the next speaker. He was gratified to see so many saints and children present. He urged the people to listen to and heed the words of counsel given by tlie Apostles. Especially did he endow the advice to honor our fathers and mothers. Speaker had a fa'her that he was proud of although he was but a few months old when his father died, still be had Leard with pride the good report of bis father. His mother is alaoa woman to be proud of and the speaker hoped that all of our young folks could be as proud of our parents as was Brother Smith.

Grant, James Eld ridge and Jesse M. Snith, ARGUS W. Penrose of the Apostle's quorum, Meeting commenced by singing "Our God We Praise to Thee. Irsyer was offered by Elder Tollman; and the choir sang from page 88 of the hymn book. The first speaker was Elder John Henry Smith, who stated that the stake had been without a head for some time, hut recently the authorities had considered the matter and had decided on persona to fill the vacancy, and if the appointments were desired by the members, to make it manifest by the usual sign; also to tender approbation to the retiring presidency, Elders Grant and Clark. The brethern were honorably released by unanimous vote. Elder Smith then presented the names ofEldeii Joseph hyrum Grant as president, James A. Eldridge as first counselor, and Jesse M. Smith as second counselor, to preside over the Davis Stake of Zion. These officers were unanimously sustained; as aku were the other officers subsequently named. After the presentation of church authorities, Elder Charles W. Penrose spoke on the necessity of unity the uusnimity of the people in accepting the officers wss commendable; spoke on tlie retirement of Elder Clark from the stake presidency. Brother Clark was held in high esteem by his brelhrrn not only at home but also by the members of the apostles' quorum. Elder Penrose then proceeded to deliver a discourse on "Unity of the Faith, and a personal knowledge of the e true church as against the churches of the day. Speaker referred to the solid foundation of the meetinghouse; thought it exemplified tlie foundation cif faith that each one of us should build on and thus stand the trials that come to the faithful. Advised those present to olitsin a testimony of the truth of the scriptures, both ancient and modern, When this testimony is once obtained, we may then advance and attain the highest grade of glory. Speaker referred to the perfect organization of the priesthood. Elder Penrose spoke on the fore ordination of certain men holding positions in the church. Men holding position without the authority of the priesthood are utterly null and void, and are not recognized by God. The authority was given Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry by men, the direct messengers from God, who in turn have brought this authority down to the preaent day. Thii ia the everlasting priest hooil that has existed forever without and without end. This ia the authority of God to rule Hi children on earth, and constitutes the only recognized power of God on earth. The churches and organisation! of man are not of God, and the promoter of these churches, etc. do not so claim except perhaps those who believe in the pope and even this nay be doubted. And in tbe lost days the holy priesthood was given for the last time, and will endure to the end and forever. No power of evil or of darkness can overthrow this great work. Nor will it ever be left to another people; nor will it ever be left to be overthrown. So when a man ha the priesthood, he will hold it forever except if he himself shall cut himself off; no other man or men can do so, without good canae. This ia God'a work anil we should he proud Ube identified with it. It is here on earth to stay, and each member to enjoy tbia good spirit forever and forever.

Alter a hymn hv the choir, Elder John Henry Smith spoke a lew words on the subject of saint mixing up with other churches sud organizations. Our church is either all that is good aril contains all the good that may be found in them or else it is no better than any other. The Lord told Joseph Smith that none of the existing churches were right and as a result of this dedatition the church was organized and istablihlied under the proper authority, as bos been so clearly explained by Elder l'enrose today. The testimony given today ia the kind that is indisputable when tlie spirit Of C.od permeates us as Filler Penrose hu testified of today, we know we have the truth. It is our duty to get this testimony for ourselves so that each one may know for himself that this work is true, and that it will live forever and never be taken from the earth. This having been obtained, we shall not care to look to other churches or organizations fur anything farther. Elder Smith spoke on tbe prevailing carelessuesi of our people, with a neighbor not of our faith. We do not meet and tell them of the truths we have learueil. Present this faith to our neighbor so that he may not rise up in the next world and say "Why didn't yuu tell me of this in tire other world?" Do not let us forget to tell anyone who will listen, of the great truths we have learned. Elder Smith bore a strong testimony as to the tnrning cf the key for the last time and the ushering iu of tlie gospel for Ihe eternity of time. Benediction was pronounced by Ben- duties; particul- arly lelt the necessity of parents helping their children in their chuicli duties and lesson.
