The object of our being here is to do the will of our Father, as it is done in heaven, to work righteousness in the earth, to subdue wickedness, to conquer sin, to rise above imperfections and weaknesses and to become saints and servants of the Lord in the earth, President Smith said. He declared that every man and woman in the world is on earth to accomplish a mission and that mission cannot be accomplished by neglect, indif- ference or ignorance. We cannot prosper in spiritual things, we cannot grow in knowledge of the Lord or in wisdom, President Smith continued, unless we devote our thoughts and efforts toward our own betterment, toward the increase of our own wisdom and knowledge in the things that pertain to our salvation. President Smith admonished the congregation to live our religion. Let us do all in our power to plant in the hearts of the people the glorious truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer of the world, that Joseph Smith is a prophet of the living God, whom the Lord raised up in these last days to restore the everlasting Gos pel and power of the priesthood. He advised the members to set the example and be true to the faith, to the covenants and to one another. The man who stays with the Kingdom of God, who is true to this people, who keeps himself pure and unspotted from the world is the man that the Lord will accept, uphold and sustain, he reported. He said that the person who is not true to the interests of the people will be the person who will be found left out and See DISMISS on Fage A-- 4 President McKay was unable to attend conference and his message was read by his son Robert R.
