On returning to the traps he had been successful in getting one, and while ho was occupied chaining it, his dog had located tho other chasing it up a tree.

At arecont Latter Day Saints Conference Con-ference hold in Boston, three of our Pnrowan young people were in at-tondanco at-tondanco and took prominent parts in tho meetings. Milton L. Ollerton who is Rhode Island Conference President, Pre-sident, delivered a very interesting sermon and brother George H. Durham Dur-ham conducted tho singing of tho conference. In one of tlie meetings brother Durham and wife sang a duet. President Mouson of the Eastern East-ern States Mission gave a powerful address on the Book of Mormon, tho particular theme boirfg The Last Bat- tie Fought Botwecn the Lamanitcs and Nephitcs at tho Hill Comorah, and tho Few Remaining After Tho Battle. His impressive talk brought to brother Durham's mind the dream of his father the late Thomas Durham, Dur-ham, wherein ho saw a lonely Lama-nitc Lama-nitc standing on the bank of ft river playing a horn, the music of which was given him in his dream. Tho interpretation in-terpretation was later given him by brother Daniel Tyler and was to tho effect that the music played by tho lonely Indian was a lamentation for the great number slain in tho battlo then fought. Brother Durham related this at the closo of Pros. Mouson's sermon and played tho music refered to, which was very impressively received, re-ceived, numbers asked him at tho meeting where they could procure a copy of tho piece. It will be remembered remem-bered that brother Durham is studying study-ing music in Boston this winter, in which he is progressing most satisfactorily, satis-factorily, having successfully passed three examinations thus far. |
