KLDKIt WKIIEll I Is a returned missionary of the Fourth I ward and said that he left Salt Lake city In November 101, for a misstn to SwlUerland, returning last July. While absent he had spoken but little I in the Kngllsh language, therefoie asked the sympathy of the audience. While abroad he had baptized thirteen thir-teen persons Into the church. Elder Weber was of the opinion that a missionary mis-sionary can accomplish little without the aid of the Lord, IIU power having hav-ing been manifested in his behalf on many occasions. He had met mat y good people who do not believe as wc do, but believed that they are honest, goad and slnceie and all such will be rewarded for the good deeds petfoim-ed. petfoim-ed. He said a strenuous clfort Is being be-ing made In Oeimany to expel the elders. Many false icports are abroad concerning Utah, the effects of which have to be met by the missionaries. The promises made by Apostle Teas-dale Teas-dale before leaving for the mission Held were literally fullllled in Mr. Weber's case. The speaker admonished admonish-ed the people to live aright tint a 1 maj have the approal of the Lord. 3ICNKIL, of the Fifth ward, was much surprised in being called to address the audience, au-dience, but felt called upon to say that he believes there Is much room for improvement amongst the Latter-day Latter-day Saints, there being far too much slandering, backbiting and finding fault with each other. He said "this is not In accord with the Gospel and it should cease, if the people desire the approval of the Lord. We assume that we are the chosen children of the Lord, but the actions of some do not bear out this statement. Our lives should be always consistent with our profession." ltOllKItT ANUKItSOK, of the Second ward was not well pie-pared pie-pared to be an Instructor of the people, peo-ple, he said, and would much prefer listening to otheis. He expressed himself as believing this work Is fiom the Lord and its plans and otganla-tlons otganla-tlons proves It to be true. The older of tho church Is so perfect that It calls forth the admiration of tlio woild. Members of each quorum working In their lespectlve position's give strength to the body of the people, so that their ranks are impregnable. The linger of scorn and ridicule are j pointed at the members of the chinch I because of Its unpopularity, so it was I in former days w lien the Lord's representatives rep-resentatives were upon the cailh, and many of thein sulfercd death. Everything new Invites derision. It was so with men who bio'ilght forth new inventions. Some weie thought to bo insane but their ideas aie now thoroughly established and acknowledged acknowl-edged by the people as being correct. Exhorted the young to continue In the steps of their fathers and to remember that theie is no happiness to be derived de-rived in living lives of unrighteousness. unrighteous-ness. Benediction by Patriarch Hatch. |
