Of the San Pete Stake of j Zion held I ; At Mt Pleasant on the 16 th- - & 17 insts. j SATURDAY AUG. 16 . I AFTERNOON I Pres. Maibln. f of Manti. I had the pleasure last Sun- - day and Monday of meeting with the I Saints in Emery Stake, and noted with satisfaction their pleasant homes and .prosperity. I am pleased to not the f "" " industry ol the Voung people of San Pete County, and more especially their growth and development in the principals of truth and eternal life; to witness the union, fellowship and good will manifested by the saints toward each other in all the il parts of the Lord's vineyard. Il was this hat enables us to make the deseit "blossom like the rose," and ac-complish all other g.'od woiks San Pete County, from tht earliest times has been one of the granenes of the Lord, and from here 'he staft of life ihas been distributed to the ceiiier stake and many other places; and it it written that it is "more blessed to give than receive." The reports given of the harvests this year go to show that our reputation will be sustained this year. A spirit prevails among the Latter-da- y Saints to ail .rd higher educational priv-ileges totheyoung; and that in these institutions they shall have the principal l the new and everlasting covenant as the guiding star, that they shall be able to tit and prepare themselves for the glorious destiny that awaits the childieu of the Latter-da- Saints. BP. DORIUS of Ephraim. Am pleased to meet in this c ;iileren e, and pny that the excel-lent spitit manifested here this morning may continue. 1 will take Mis oppor-tunity to tept-r-t the condition of Kph-rai- South Ward. That is easy lor us to fillet all the iinperfeetions when we get here we see them by the spirit that is present here. Things have been dubious witn us regard to our crops at Ephraim this summer, on account of the grasshoppers that have infested our field and we have had an enemy to fight; but I am happy to state that there is a good harvest notwithstanding. There are a gi eat many eggs of these pests left, which creates some auxietv for next year. Our meetings have not been so very well attended during thelastthiee nv nths.the people have considered themselves to busy to attend religious meetings. I the Y. M. M I. Association and also the Young Ladies hold regular meetings every week Our Sunday School, as usual is well atteuded there being 250 pupils in the primary grade, and also many in the advanced classes. The Relief Society are engaged.as usual, in looking after the poor here, and oc-casionally helping an elder abroad or emigrating a child, and we all feel thank-ful lor their good works. As a general thing we are making some advancement and moving forward in the good cause. It is good advice we have heard about debt this morning and I hope it will sink deep into every heart. If e neg-lect our debt one year we know it is hard if not impossible to catch up again. The spirit of the Gospel enjoins upon as a dutv to remember all our just obligations to man. ki kiiiii ia ot a cloak that may be put off' and 1. 11. as octJl,i:Jsijij8it-neiihe-r can ' a ' l.irtler-dav- inns lay aside li s religion while lie e. gages in a lawsuit or a specula ton, taking it up aga 11 when the questionable ttansactiou is finished, but we must abide by it at all t, wl iiur wht Ic jives must be in kettp:ng A'iih flint gospel we have re-ceived.

The words of Apostle Lund, upon the subject of debt, are golden. It is written '' "owe no man anything," and if we would be Iree, and not sunject toothers we must be free from debt, free to answtr promptly every call of advancement. I was highly pleased with the remarks of Brothei Spencer, calling our attention 40 the present condition and awakening among the Lamanites. We as a people will do well not to forget the obligation we are under to their ancestors, and help what we can to assist in the good of teaching them the glorious plain truths of the gospel read ihe 30 th. chapter of the second of Nephi concerning the promises Lwoik to the Lamanites. would say to Brother Spencer, take to continue in the glonous mission lime ts nut far distant when every and sis.ei who has made a sac-rifice in belnill U these our biotheuj. will be repaid a bundled f .Id, and w.ll nj :c exceedingly ,Ve can see the blessings of the Lord to this pe pie, and rejoice therein. . - jwy Uicujciu io slMe'S lei us Oc ub . jct i each otnsr in ihe Lord, and with all our stieugtli in btingmg about peace, arid unity, and love; and in ban ish tig from our nijdst all contention, dis-union, and srpeiat'on ol whatever name or nauire.

If we will be true to thes'; principles we can make the name of tne Lord famous throughout the cai ih and m mber among oui own .... possesions all tlu gilts, graces and bless-ings of the Holy Spirit. It is written thai Joshua, the Son of Mini was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses, the servant of God, had laid his hand upon him. Tins is also the reason why the Latter-da- Saints have a spirit different from other people, beiause the hand of the neivants ol G .dhad been laid upon them the llolv Ghost. It is a remarkable fait that the gif s and qu ilifications pertain-- - ing to the several callings olllie Holv Pr esth-ii- wete likewise enjoyed, t mattered not whether the highest ,0 lifwest, iiur was this to be woi.de td at. when the founder of this great and last dispensation, received the imp .sition of oands fiom John the Baptist, and Peter, James, ana John, the ancient apos-tles.

Thousands of Christians all over the world believe that Christ has been up m the earth and will come again, but we have the assu-anc-and witness, that h s coining will be speedy Let us then appreciate God's mercy towards us, and be gratetul and thankful for the knowledge which we have. CYRUS H. WHKELOCk I have listened with great pleasure, and had no desire to address you this m ri ing as I am laboring under a bodily weakness, and for the past few days have beenaffl cted with faintness. We certainly desired the presence of some of the apostles, but if we look to the proper source, we shall back none of the needed instructions. I have been in this church now for 51 years and it is a great and marvelous thing to me when 1 look back and note the dealings ol the Lord with His people up to mis time, and il we continue in the good work.haviiig; first the kingdom and purposes ol God uppermost in our hearts, we will continue to prosper, and if called upon to pass through trials and suffering, we will be grateful and rejoice exceedingly that we were peimitted to suffer fur Christ's sake.; Sp.'ke ol the wonderful dealings of the Lord with Abraham and how he had tried his patience to the utmost, also of the great promises made to his prosperity. That he had heard Irom I J.iseph Smith and Oliver Cowdry, of the manifestations in the little grove where no alter had been erected, and no rest-ing place was seen spoken ol what the Apostle Paul said about nothing being able to seperate us from the iove of Christ, and lhat a day shoufdeome w hen the honorable of the earth who had love fol virtue, integrity .peace and honor, and who hate us because they do not uudir-stan- d trs, and are ignorant concerning us, will came and dwell am n,' us, and honor the Holy Priesthood of God upon the eatth.

The authorities who have been pre-sented today for the sullrage ol the peo-ple, have been unanimously received. The Lord is pleased with this people when (hey are one. We should kuow no town, ward, or stake, for we are members ol one church, the ch.rch of Christ, and the rhildten of the same God.

PKTKRSQN. 1 feel like making a few remarks before the conference is over. The calm spirit and good instructions of these meetings have been very gratifying to me, and although I may not be able to add anything I can sanction all that has been said and testify that it is in strict accordance with the spirit of the Lord. I would like to say to you that there is no duty devolving upon you that is more imperitive and necessary than the work for the dead. It will not do to entirely neglect financial thiiigs;we need factories hi order to ourselves, and give our y.;ung Mk einpl yinti.i at h m Wneu 1 say cf '.!) .mrse'ves I mean ip.m head to f it, evei vilim that we need, in the 1 ne of apparel, and all impliments and machinery also. But we should remember (hat all this is for time, and this time only. We can't take any of it with us. The last suit any of us will probably need is the suit we will be butied in, and then we'll need no more houses but a few hoards and a spot of ground in which to deposit our bodies. But the la or that we do for our friends in the Temple ot the Lord will last throughout the ages of eternity. The Prophet oseph Smith's views of this were that it was a pressing urgent necessity, and that the faithful performances of this great unselfish duty would receive temporal, as well as spiritual blessings. We have been greatly favored in hav-ing the prvilege of building the Temple here in San Pete, and greatly blessed in being able to complete it, in its dedi-cation and acceptance, and there are many here y who can testify that it was accepied ofthe Lord, for they heard the singing of the angels. It is there ready for yotr, and will be on the a6th. ol August. Get y mr recommends and so and work for your dead, but go there in a saved con-dition yourself. When Christ ministered to the spirits in prison he was in a saved condition, and we should be in that conditiun when we go to minister in the sscred ordiuau ces; these are mv feelings. Life with us is very uncertain, and we should work while the time is ours. 1( you are sick or deaf ro to the Temple and if you go in the name of the Lord with faith, vou will be lWMt-fie- t h spm'ually nutl frmpota' 1- - anx-ious v u should have lempoi.il bic-s.ii-ax well as spiritual. jf- , This brings to my mind a revelation in "John" lhat i$ being fulfilled in our day 'And I saw an siisul flving. thoui;n the midst of heaven having the everlast-:n-gospel to pieath to those who dwell upi-- the earth." ' From the t me I was bom until now this prophecy has been fulfilled. J re-joice because of these pruphecics that have been fulfilled in our day. It is also said in Isaiah that theie was in the lam days a people upon the eanh who paid tithing, people came and stole it; and ifyoud m'l believe this has come to pass go mid ask the Receive The Roman Caiholic church is the great Mother of Harlots, with all f her monks and nuns.

Our Father is a man, and when he and his Son appeared to Joseph Smith They were two men, We also have a Mother in heaven, and I think heaven would be a very lonesome place without that beautiful creature called woman. After telling us what ;ind of a God to worship the angel continued: "Saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment has come " I would say to the Saints be not dis-couraged as to Christs second coming, for although He can not look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.there is more mercy in the pure doctrines of Christ as we have been taught than all the churches of the earth. Christ had to lie in order to properly fulfil His mission and it we properly fill ours, we must be all we can atain to with His help and goodness.

Am rmon means honesty, kindness and refinement. Come to the Temple, come right along. God Bless You Amen. PREST. HENRV BEAL. The influence and spirit attending this conference has been excellent, and I be Iieve, judging from myself, that every heart is satisfied with the teachings we have had. This is the largest congrega-tion I have ever seen meet together in one place in San Pete County; and it is more than gratifying to know that all these people have come together here to be instructed, benefited, and built up in their faith. we ao appreciate tne privilege 01 meeting in conference, ol teaching and being taught, of presenting business that belong to the Latter-da- v Saints to them; we realize that we are a blessed people. We can gi to bed at night, without fear of h um, often with doors and windows open, and we know th.it there aie places whete this is not the case We ask God to protect us through the night and have faith in him that he will do it. Many of these blessings have been spoken of during this conference anJ many have not One of the great-est blessings probably enjoyed by the Latter-da- y Saints in this that if any per- - and faith be actively exerted in the 1 behalf 1 ask that the blessings of G d shall rest upon th s c .inference, and ill Israel, Amen. BP. ALL ED OP SPRING CITY. I have been called upon to report the Spiing City ward, and to make a few remaiksasthe thoughts mav be pre-sented to mv mind. The health of our people is good lor the season of the year, and our crops are above an aver-age. We have had neither Hoods nor grasshoppers to disturb us. Everything is moving along as well as uual; our meetings are well attended considering the busy season of the year, and that so many are away shearing sheep, and at other places. We keep up our quorum meetings once a month; we have four filths of the seventies, and high priest usually in attendance, and about one-thir- d of the elders. Of the lesser priesthood so many are away that the meetings have been discontinu-ed for a time. The Sunday School attendance is very good to far as pupils and fema'e teachers are concern-ed, but a great many ol the young men who areaway from home belong to the male crops of leacliets. The Young Men's and Young Ladins M. I. Associat-ion's meet in conjoint session once a m mill, and in ordinary session once a week, the Youmj Ladies meetings are well attended, Young Men not at home. The Primary meet once a week, and is well attended. The teacners are supposed to visit every house in their beat once in two weeks, especially those who manifest a spirit of indifference and carelessness; to talk with them, to create a teeling of friendliness and interest, to learn of their needs spiritual and temporal. I am firmly convinced that the people generally denre to live their relig.on, and that it is uppermost in their hearts, and I am prwud of them. I leel that the building up of God's Kingdom should be first with every Latter-da- y Saini, and especially those who have forsakan for their faith native land, home, relatives and friends, True some are better off financially than they were in the old country, but many are not. We feel grateful for the bene-fit of the gospel, and it is hard, indeed t appreciate all it is to us or what we would be without it. One great privilege, that of officiating for the dead, t ur near relative and Iriends, must not be lost right off in our efforts to grasp the things of this world, and we should be careful not to let any trivial matter come between us and the work for our dead. I frequently ask different ones: "have you done the work in the Temple that you intend doing this month or this quarter?" as the case may be. We may not know how long we have to stay here and should we be called heuse, with the work still unfinished, the meeting with those on the other side would cenainlv be less joyous, than il we had .ilMal !., ti.MH, j.jj-..,iir- l piacKd tnem in tne way of progress. All aie not simated so that il is possible for ihem to attend the cjiiferenc?, and we who came to hear, and have the privil-ege of listening to the teachings of Aposiles, ar not diligont enough in teaching, comfortirte and instsucting those w ho are left behind. My desires prompt me to keep my Covenants With God, and to be H;S servaot hi every deed We do all honor the Holy ordinances, appreciate the re-sponsibilities that aie laid upon us. I do not wish to find any fault, but it will bealiglu woik lot the authoiities to guide the people when tiiev Come to a perfect knowledge and an earnest deshe to walk in his ways. I will not prolong my remarks, but the best people are those who have made the most sacrifices, and are ready to do the same Amen. BP. C. A. MADSON, of Gunnison, being called upon report-ed: "Giving proper allowances for the busy season tne Associations and meet-ings of the priesthood are attended in their usual order. II I understand aright there has been a marked improvmeiit among the people since ihe general last day. The spirit ol God has been pour-ed out more abundantly among the people and they are all doing belter. So far as I am able to judge the blessii gs bestowed at that time remain. Which is the best part, or which working most faithfully among the good people of Gunnison 1 am hardly able to say, all are woi king well; but the High priests are at home while many of the members of other quorums are away. The Pri-mary and Relief Society are attended to as usual. The lesser priesthood meet-ings we are not able to hold in summer time owing to so many being absent, but we generally have a full attendance during the winter. The offerings and donations come in Well, and also tithing hay which is all that is ready as yet The acting priesthood report peace, uni-ty and good fellowship among the peo-ple. The entire crops for this year are very promising. By permission of the Pres. I would like to bring before your notice the fact that the Agricultural Bureau at Wash-ington report the greatest crop failure in the United States for the year 1890, since its establishment, some thirty years ago. The reports hold good of all the world Russia excepted, It will not be long before there will be men among us, to buy up the last bushel of grain, and this snould be a warning to the people. There is perhaps a good deal ot the crop alreadv owing, and that will have to be settled, and no doubt at a great loss to the producers. I have had much rejoicing in the good instructions we have had at this conter- - SUNDAY AUG. 17th, 1S90. Meeting called to order by Pres.

Stake secretaiy Taylor read the sta-tistical report of the stake, for the quarter ending August 15th. BP. HANSJENSON. Reported the condition ot the South Waid of Manti. "I am pleased to be permitted to meet with my brethern and sisters in this conference, on this beautiful Sabbath munung. It is very gratifying to hear of the prosperous condition ot Zion, as given in the reports yesterday. The people in the south ward ol Manti are enjoying good healih, as seems to be the Cise throughout the Stake. We feel to thank God for the blessings of health, which he has given us, and also for a very good crop. The oats and hav have been damaged some by the Grass-hoppers, but, we still have plenty, and 10 spare. Our wheat-crop-s is bettei than average, and there will be plenty of food. As far as the South Ward is concerned the people are generally improving in the things of God. We are fully organ-ized, and the officers are true and faith-ful to their duty, and Manti, speaking generally, is at peace with all mankind. We have no fault to find with anybody and desire to live in peace with our neighbors. We are keeping the council of the presidency ot this Stake. God's work is progressing, and as the time goes bv from one conference to another we are adding knowledge to knowledge. Let us endeavor to conduct our financial and politcal affairs in such a manner lhat the opposition will never gam control; that we may be deemed worthy to have our coumry built up under the control of those who have done so much for it. If we deal with all men according to the d.ctates of His Holy Spirit, He will be with us. The gospel has already been carried to the nations of the earth and the island of the sea, and we have had sralhered here to the valleys ol the mountains, to build up the kingdom. Thanks be to G d mat we have had the peace and , ihe flocks and heids, tne good crops and abundant water, that we have enj lyed; and we are als thankful f r the wise, worthy, and upright men, who ate placed over us, and let us not forget that it is due to their devotion to us that our prayers ence, both spiritual and temporal, and the sweet and peaceful spirit that has been manifested during this coming together. We have the privilege of seeking the council of men inspired with wisdom from on high, to guide us in all cases that we may need advice. What a blessing my brethein and sisters. So far as I am able to judge we do not avail out selves ol this privilege as much as we should, and thereby deprive ourselves of the guidance of the Holy Ghost in all our undertakings, and the man who does not avail himself of this privilege, has a weak spot in his char-acter as a Latter-da- y Saint. We feel to sustain our authorities, uphold them and pray for them, and it would be wisdom to seek the council ol the Holy priesthood. feel that the blessings of God sre upon ns; that we may d j netter in all things that they may tint be with drawn; That is my prayer in the nume ot Jesus.
