Sunday the program was as follows: Forenoon: Invocation by Layton Griffin; song by the girls of both Primaries under the direction of Faun Thompson; talks by Pres. J. Clyde Spencer, E. D. Haws and Sam Pollock, the two new Seminary teachers, Bp. Iceland Haws of Boulder, and Bp. Marion Clark of Cannonville; Benediction by George Spencer. In the afternoon, Invocation was by Reeves BaRer; song "Let The Mountains Shout" by the Singing Mothers under direction of Faun Thompson and accompanied by Areola Gates; there were talks by Thorley Johnson of Henrieville, Wilford Clark of Cannonville, Lorenzo Griffin, Berlin Osborn and Chase Shurtz of Escalante; the Singing Mothers sang "Peace I Leave With You"; Benediction by Bp. Lorell Munson; prelude and postlude music was by Ruth B. Griffin, and Congregational singing was led by Jean Griffin. It's a real nice arrangement putting the High Coun-cilmen up on the stand where the audience can watch them sleep, did you ever notice how each person sleeps differently? Now Bp. Mecham is a Reverent sleeper, just folds his arms, crosses his feet and sleeps; Alton Shakespeare is relaxed, his jaw drops, his ears get lower and he sleeps; Bp. Chynoweth of Henrieville is a dignified sleeper; Andrew Spencer and son Vernon are both fidgity sleepers, so is Usher Spencer, must be a family weakness; Reeves Baker is either a nervous sleeper or else he attracts flies; Sam Pollock is a warm sleeper, keeps waking to wipe his brow; Roland Porter and Le-land Haws both just half sleep, keep one eye open; Billlo Barker doesn't sleep, just rests his eyes; and Chase Shurtz closes his eyes to think; Berlin Osborn is an alert sleeper, keeps both cars open; and Bps. Munson and Clark slumped down so far I couldn't see them. In my opinion that was one of the best conferences we have ever held here. Carlylc Sherman and wife of Calif, are visitors at the Marion Woolsey home. I've heard some wives complaining and they sound so very blue, cause their husbands don't give them credit for anything they do. Will you folks please forgive me if this statement seems rash? "I don't give a darn for credit, I'd rather have the cash. |
