Bureau of Information. The bureau of Information, located on, 1 Jer"Ple block, has continued Its splendid service In. affording enter tainment and Imparting Information to the many tourists and transient who come nmong us. Its report shows that approximately 200.000 visitors wore received at the bureau of Infor mation during the vcar. The missionary work of the church outside tho stakes has been carried on with unabated zeal. The number of missionaries laboring In the several mission fields during the year ap proximated an average of 2000; of tills number over S00 went from home to the various mission Holds during tho ye.ir. Among tho missionaries are over 100 women, located principally In cities and towns where their serv ices can be most properlv applied. The presidents of stakes should feci It their duty to havo In the mission field not less than six to the 1000 of their stake population, so that the la bor and the blessing attendant upon this great latter-day work may be fairly distributed throughout the stakes. j Missionaries Released.

But I do not believe Uicro aro any people who will endure more misrepresentation than the Latter day fcaiuts have. J. do not bclicvo tlierc is a people who would endure in their midst tho meanest falsifiers in the world as the Latter Dav Saints do today. But I believe this evil is dimin ishing and tho time will come when those who lied about us will be ashamed of it. ' After this attack on enemies of the church President Smith told the con ference of tho splendid condition of the church, of the progress it was mak ing and of tho faithful and efficient work which, he said, its officers were doing. JTo complimonted the Tfelie so ciety on tho work it was doing and re marked: I do not expect anything to como to tho Lattor-day "Saints except upon principles 01 truth and right eousness. Some Are Ignorant. Now and then wo have somo iguoramuscs, learned fools, who would hnvo you bolieve that God's power is limited to tho capacitv of man. They would make you befiev.o that the. Father and Son did not come to Joseph Smith, that this is all imaginary and mythical. Wo know better. Beware of heresies of this kind. After reading a statement regarding hurch conditious from the presiding oishonric's office, President Smith ailed attention to the fact that re ports had como to the presidency of nen born and renred in the church, oc 'iiipving prominent places in the priest hood, who, whou called upon to perform :he duties of teachers, C00II3' informed their bishops that they have graduated from tho ranks of tho lesser priest- uood. "President Pcnroso is S2 and I am almost 76, but neither of us is too old to act aB a teacher," warned tho presi dent. "I hopo those high-minded mem bers -will take to heart what I say to day and come to their senses, or -wo may be compelled to deal with them soon If thoy don 't look out. They ought not to bo hoisted to positions of promi nence whore they can destroy the minds of othors, and. wo will sco to it that they arc not." Later in tho session President Smith said that some had aaked tho question as to what became of tho tithing money. Tie declarod that 60 per cent or more of tho tithes were used in tho stakos whore thoy were collectod and that only 10 per cent went to tho trustee-in-trust (President Smith), lie said there woro constant demands upon the trustoe-In-trust for theso funds to use in building and improvements throughout the church. Statistics Read. The statement from the presiding I . -JS; TrneWoril Km if.fl . DlSnopriC OAi-ltu, wmwi iwiuuuu -- read and which contains somo interest ing statistics, reads ns follows: During tho year 1913 thero was an Increase In membership In practically all of the stakes of Zlon. The follow ing ltoms, culled from tho statisti cal recordn of the church, aro at once Interesting and Instructive. The tlgr ures refer to the organized stakes only, exclusive of the missions: Birth rate among tho Latter-day Paints In tho stakes 1b 37 to tho 10Tho death rata Ifl 9.8 to tho 1000. The averafre ago of the JLatter-aav Saints at death In the stakes Is 38 JeThere are 8 widowers and 24 widows to tho 1000. . - Persons over 21 years of ago ana unmarried are 51 to the 1000. Tho marriages woro 15 to tho 1000. Of theso marriages 8 to the 1000 were Bolemnlzed In tho temples and 7 to tho 1000 wero performed throuRli civil ccromony outside tho temples. While tho rnto of marriages among the members of the church In our stakes is perhaps as high as that pre vailing in any other civilized com munity, it should, nevertheless, bo higher. Our young peoplo should be encouraged to marry at tho proper agDurlng the year -137 members of tho church entered Into marriage with nonmembers-of the church, and of theso 427 It Is noted that 3'JS were womon. Divorces in Church. Tho number of members of tho church divorced during the year Is 168 Of this number 5D had been married in the templea and 104 by civil ceremony. There wero excommunicated from tho church In the stakes of Zlon 66 persona. . . ., Baptisms Into tho church of chil dren and adults within tho stakes numbered 35 to the 1000. During tho year there has been a. greater proportion of baptisms of adults tlian for several years pre vious. This gratifying result is prob ably duo to the more systematic mis sionary service within tho stakes, In which excellent labor tho seventies 1 have been prominent. Organized and rc-cll-dlrocted labor on tho part of tho seventies has been conducted whoroby tho message of tho Cospal has been carried to many of our non "Mormon" friends who aro tulip mombers of the communities In which our peoplo dwell. It is as surely our duty to preach tho gospel to non members of tho church with whom wo dwell as it Is to carry tho mes sage of truth to tho nations of tno earth. Responsibility for this home missionary labor rests upon tho local authorities tho presidents of stakes and bishops under whose direction i tho seventies residing in tho Boyeral stakes and wards may be offoctlvo- Iyun?BgratiryIng to know, aa tho records show, that through tho bene fits of our local option laws tho sa loon has boon eliminated In communi ties wheroln the Latter-day Saints predominate. , ... marked Increase In the labors of tho ward teachers Is showm, and one of tho direct results of this Im portant activity la tho lncreasu In the attondanco of tho Latter-day Salnta ot their sacrament meetings, and also a marked Increase of enrollment in all tho auxiliary organizations of tho Vntho Ogden ntako of Zlon 93 per cent of all the families In tho wards wero vlHlted by the tcachera each month during tho year 1913.

During the year 1913 one now slaks of Zlon (Boise stake) anil twenty six new wards were organized; four new stake presidents were appointed and Installed: also 115 bishops, and 155 ward clerks. The church has not failed In Its duty to the worthy poor. Tho hearts of the bishops arc always open to pro vide for tho needs of thoso who oth erwise would be left in want. Our splendid Relief fiocloty organization did more In aiding the poor and min istering to tho needy during the year 1913 than In any previous year slnco Its organization. A very consider able Item among tho many expendi tures of tho church for benevolent purposes s the aid extended to our Mexican refugees. Inasmuch as tho expenditures in tho wards and stakes amount approxi mately to CO per cent of the tithes paid In the Makes. It folio wa that thero Is only about 40 per cent of the. tithing puld that Is remitted to the trustec-ln-trust. Houses of Worship. The church lias sought to provldo as fur as possible mission headquar ters and places of worship In tho dif ferent missions as tho need for such appears. At the present tlmo tho mis sions hold as the property of tho church, used strictly for missionary services and as places of -worship, houses as follows: Mission.

IIo said that tho saints wero enthu siastic in politics and that often they said things in tho heat of a political fight that thoy should not havo said. Ho declared he was a firm believer in the party system and considered parties necessarj'. But he advised his hearers that thoy could bo consistent to party and to church and sustain good pud great men everywhere. Delights With Solo. John Parrish of Centervillo, a young boy possessing a remarkably sweet so prano voice, delighted tho congregation with n Bolo entitled "Tho Night Birds Cooing." The morning session ad iourncd after bonediction pronounced by President Alma Morrill of Benson slako. President John TP. Tolton of Beavor stake offered, flio invocation at tho opening of tho afternoon meeting, fol lowing tho rendition of "Come, Como, Yo Saints,'"' by the combined choirs and congregation. Tho choirs also sang "Truo to tho Faith." President Charles W. Penroso was the first speaker. He mentioned his recent injuries and expressed the belief that somotinios peoplo needed afflictions to bring thorn nearer to God. Ho 6aid that his afflictions and sufferings. had taught him vuluable lessons. Ho heart ily uphold tho statomonts of President Smith regarding tho condition and progress of tho church. That the "Go-to-Church-Sunday " movement inaugurated m Salt Lake should extend over tho entire state and that it had tho support of the Mormon church, was tho declaration of Presi dent Penroso. The speaker then went into the claims of divine origin which tho church makes and declared that those who had called it merely a church oi" temporalities woro miata'ken. "Tho church is not founded on im agination," ho declarod. "It came down to us from God. After the death of Jesus Christ the world went into darkness and corruption and now tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has come from God to man. It is not tho development of man's thoughtB." Tithing Mentioned. President Penroso mentioned the mattor of tithes and said that thero woro constant demands on the trustee-in-trust for funds for building up dif ferent stakes of Zion. He said he be lieved that even more than 60 per cent of the tithes wore used in the stakes where thoy wore collected. "The Lord is establishing Zion temporality as well as spiritually," ho said. Aftor Rotta Sessions Pavne of Clear field ronderod a vocal solo, "I Will Ariao," Apostle Rudgor Clawson dis cussed tho covenant "of marriage, lie told the people they were confronted by two covenants, tho new and ever lasting one as represented by the Mor mons, and tho old or civil covenant mado by men. Ho urged tho saints to keep tho covenant or the Mormon church. Tho East Bountiful First ward choir, winnor of tho Davis County Musical aBsociatiou prizo in the fourth annual contest, then sang "Star of tho De scending Nipht." Tho choir was con ducted by Wilb'ain C. Hardy. Apostle Grant Speaks. "My heart has been set on tho ac complishment of a number of things in our state for sovoral years, " said Apostle Heber J. Grant in opening his attack on tho liquor question. He con tinued; I believe that places of amuse mont should bo closed on Sunday. It is a reproach to tho saints to havo those places wido opon on tho Sabbath. And I boliovo that the legislators and others in offico who have not protected us from theso ovils will havo a groat deal to an swer for somo day. I holiovo that Utah should follow tho example of somo other states and becomo dry. T hopo this bl0B8 ing may como to U3 at no distant day. The greatest moral and finan cial problem today is tho liquor question. Apostlo Grant told of tho recent convention of tho Anti-Saloon JUoaguo of America at Columbus. Ohio, which ho uttondod. Ho told or tho enthusi asm thero and thundered; ''The battlo is on." "I havo heard Lattor Day Saints soy ws need tho Baloon to help pay our ' taxes," ho said. "Gold holp thom whon thoy havo such elastic consci-, enccs." "They were Mormons, not Latter 1 Day Saints," oommontod President' Smith. I "In communities where the saints nro in majority wo have local option," said tho apostle. "When we have a stato-wido vote, whore wo are in ma jority, wo will havo stato-wide prohibi tion. All wo ask lo a fair chance to express our policy." "Star of tho Descending Night" was tho final anthom sung by tho Davis countv choirs, which wero thanked by Prosidont Smith for their attondanco and music. Prosidont Joseph H. Grant of Davie stake pronounced tho benedic tion. Thero will be two general sessions todny. at 10 o'clock this morning and 2 o'clock this afternoon.

(Advertloeroont.) Diamonds On I Credit at 1 Hubbard-Denn s I Buying a Diamond usually requires a considera- I ble sum of money, and until we opened our Dia- ig mond Credit Department, it was often impossible for a- man of ordinary means to own a diamond. W Now, we figured it this way : There are hun-' HHi dreds of perfectly honest people who would like W, to buy a Diamond, but who cannot afford to mi spend so much money in a lump sum. flfi Any responsible person of honest intention H may buy a Diamond at this store by paying one- Bj fifth down and the balance on easy payments. WA For instance, on a Diamond worth ?100, $20 El would be paid at time of purchase and the bal- H ance divided in eight monthly payments of $10 H each. No interest charges. H We do not intend that there shall be anything H spectacular about our plan, and we consider our AC method a strictly legitimate business proposition. fl It is just as proper to buy a Diamond on the pay- M ment plan as to buy a piano or building lots. M This store invites the closest inspection of its H business methods and reputation. We sell pnly HI merchandise of high quality, and every article in m our store is marked in plain figures. m There really isn't any reason why you should n longer put off buying that Diamond.
