Mountains Shout For Joy. Apostle Richards sanctioned and endorsed the Red Cross Movement. If we are called upon to stand for Liberty Lib-erty against autocracy, we will none of ui refuse Relieved that the Latter Lat-ter Day Saints prize the blessing of liberty more highly than any other people The Home. It lies at the very bottom of our religious and social life. It is the corner stone of the nation. 'The speaker speak-er could not conceive of a good people with a poor home or a bad people with i good home. The Fnglish law gives the home the highest place in the nation. Quoted Edmund Burke in sayinir that no matter how poor his home might be, the king could not enter it without pel mission. No other sect or creed has the lofty conception of marriage that the Latter Day Saints do. No other people have had the revelations regarding marriage that we have. Such marriages make the home sacred. In these days, pub lie resorts are taking the place of the home for amusements. 'The homes are becoming mere boarding places. 'The old home parties have been relegated rele-gated to the rear. 'The young peopled f today are not trained to make homes. They think more of education than home making qualitiea The young girls must get "accomplishments." The boys must have a chance to "-w their wild oats." After each has aeoompllshsd Lis or her object, they meet in society so-ciety and the match is made. It is no wonder that so many of the matches result in their getting to the end of their troubles, but which end? Mothers slave to give their daughters daugh-ters the advantages of education, which life is unfortunate for the mother but doubly unfortunate for the girls. Parents cannot raise chil dren by proxy, you cannot make a home but by giving it the best there is in you. Fvery mother cannot be a mother of a Washington or Lincoln, but she can teach her sons to be such men as will support a Washington or a Lincoln. In the matter of dress, our girls should appear to be what they are, pure, sweet and clean. Hy following too much after the fashions of society, socie-ty, they give a wrong impression of themselves. Styles change but the principles of modesty never change. President Day in closing said that this conference had been held in Cedar City nn accnunt nf the Parnwan Tabt niacin not being cnmp'eted in time 'The innfereiue adjourned to meet in three months time at I'arowan. |
