''There are coining into our midst temptations of the world that are leading away our young people. They do not realize what talents are planted in them, who have taken upon incmseies the work of Christ have taken an important step lhat should be guarded by icood works on every .side. He and his counsellors were interested in the people of Box Elder Stake and desired to neglect nothing that would do them good. (loulden Kimball desired to warn the young men to prepare themselves for missionary labors, (hid is slow to answer the prayers of the elders who have idled away their time. The Lord is not well pleased with the excuses of ihe elders when called to go upon missions. It is also displeasing to. i.!io Lord the manner in which the families of missionaries arc treated.

Pres. Chris. Kelly said the principles of salvation will be enjoyed en-joyed to the extent only thai we have faith and confidence in Him. Cod's spirit moves the hearts and actions of men. Some think it is humil ial i ng to acknowledge, the priesthood in the church as teachers and leaders with auihority to counsi-I and direct. The young men and women of the sainfs j should not marry outside, of Ihe j pales of the church. We have i ma ny examples in our midst of persons who have not heeded (hee 'counsels. i The congregation sang: 1 ''The spirit, of dod like a fire is burning.'' iouldeii K imball said we must ae(, like men and women, for we have grown to the full slalue ofj man.

If the Spiritual nature of t he child is not developed in conjunction with the other branchefiol education the child will become one-sided in ils line of development. The congregation sang the song commencing: 'Oh say what is true 'tis the . fairest gem That the riches of worlds can produce." Peter Baird was pleased to have the privilege of laboring in a Sun day school capacity. The Sunday, schools in the Slake are in a good running order. The children t.re welt cared for and are makinggood progress. Couiden Kimball said today we can see (he fulfillment of the scriptures script-ures in one respect, when IL; said He would choose the weak things of this world and the despised. Thought it a good thing to act natural and ?peak freely. When we make good resolutions we should be true to them.

If the young men will strive earnesily. Cod will hear and answer tie ir prayers and all the powers of Ihe evil one w ill never be able to turn them from the trulh. Elder Harry Mathews, of Salt Lake, was happy to be with the people in conference assembled. The saints present have a duty lo perform in asking the Lord to assist the speakers.

Tlie young people will get their experience ami knowledge just as every hild of Cod gets il, and will not obtain salvation through the labors of their parents. Choir sang an nnlhcm.
