BUS Tho . 9'.!rterly confurenco of the
BB Iirownfjlako of Zion wus held in
IH Cedar City lust Saturday and Sunday,
KPL Deo. 10, and 20, 100.1. Tho conference
Htt was due to bo held in l'arowan, but by
RH request of Apostle Cowly, for whom it
KS was more convenient to meet the peo-
Rl pie at Cedur than at l'arowan tho place
IS of holding was changed. It is proba-
flf ble that tho people of l'arowan are gct-
IX ' ting usel to this sort of thing as it is
Wm not the first time that snch n change
lffl has beeu made. Although it is very
IB convenient for us yet our sense of jus-
Ev tice compels us to feel that it is rather
HI) a hardship to tho L'arowan folks.
Kr' Thero was present on tho stand at 10 o'
B clock. a. in. last Saturday morning in
K" thn Cedar tabernacle, l'residont Uriah
If T. Jones, Counselors Henry Igh, and
John J. G. Webster of the Stake I'resi-
l dency, Apostle Cowley and Elder Ezra
Mi Richards, nlso Elder William Gardner,
K' of the St. Georgo Stake. The attend-
W anco at this meeting was very light1

!v tlrely by the reports of tho bisubps of,-
$ ' the various Wards in the stake, most'
'. of whom were present, tho only absen-
i- tecs being tho bishops of l'urownn and
,.-, Paragoouah, the first of whom cume

good. Good crops had been raised
through tho past year. The various
''" auxiliary organizations arc complete
and doing goodjjiiecllve work. A
" general eomplalut was made that the
ward teachers were not so energetic in
!: the discharge of their duties as tho
; wcllfaro of the wards required. This
was attributed to carelessness nud not
' to lack of faith, or nu unwillingness to
work for tho wellfarc of thu church
I;- lijbomooftho wards It was reported
fy there had been borne improvements
along religious lines within the last
"? . quarter, while of others no such im-
fc. provemeut was mentioned. Tho one
r organization that seemed not to be in
T a thriving condition in the slake, judg-
y ' ing by the reports, was that of tho re-
" Hglon classes. Hut little has been done
f t in auy of the wards, so it was reported,
' in thin miitipr this winter. In the
' matter of tithing it appeared that there
- should be a little more paid In the stake.
t " Seyeral of thoso making reports felt
that tho requirement that was made of
them to judge as to whether parties
- paid full tithing or not was the most
',' dlQlcult duty required of them, and one
" speaker, who by tho way, was
(not u bishop, stated that ho should not
make tho attempt to comply with this
requirement. At tho close of tho re
' v ports of tho bishops, choirlster Cosslett
leader of tho Cedar choir was, consider
ably to his surprise, Invited to report
L tho blngerB. Ho said there were some
&, members of tho choir who were very
" faithful In their attendance, and spared
no pains to become acquainted with tho
, " duties of tholr calling, while thoro wero
K , others, he was sorry to bay, who weio
I ' ' to upt to allow themselves to be inter-
t rupted by parties and father social funo-
tioim to thu detriment of their progress
in the study of the divine art. , lie be-
I lieved that If the parents of those
I young people would viblt tho practices
I it would encourage them and help him.
K Gave an invitation to all who desired to
1 step in and listen to tho choir on thesu
- occasions. Apostle Cowley wus evident-
I ly not ver,y favorably impressed with
I the appearance of the great number of
I empty benches which met his eyes from
K every direction, hut with the fairness
I which is suoh a strong trait of his
1 character, ho did not utter any com-
I plaint against tho people who .was
U present on account of it, remarking
fjj that they certainly wero not to blame
M but wero rather entitled to praise for I
n?
i)i

the reason that It was evident that
they at least would do that which they
considered to bo their duty, unpopular
though It might be. This is what we
always ought to do. l'resideut Joseph
F. Smith is an exemplary man in this re
spect, as well as In nil others. As far as
the speaker was aware, thero has never
been it more energetic, conscientious
worker In the position which ho holds
than he. Ho labors from break of day
till far into the night in tho Interests of
tho kingdom of God, iua.dng frequent
visits to the various stakes within the
State and far outside its borders, be
sides writing frequent articles which
aro published in tho "Era," "Juvenile
Instructor," and other church works.
Tho speaker himself had been bulsly
employed the past twelve mouths, hay
ing attended In that tunc forty-one
stake confnreuccs, a large number ot
ward conferences, and two general
conferences, and done missionary work
in San Diego, Uolso City anU other
places. He said ft is possible when
Hrothcr Lyman comes home, he (Apos
tle Cowley) would not bo down this
way for some time, which would no
doubt bo ngrecablc news to the saints
In this part of the country, as his fre
quent visits within the last two years
might possibly have tired them. It is
not reasonable that angels should bo
expected to visit men frequently and
indiscriminately. When these beings
visited tho human family It was be
causo the Almighty had business for
them to do, ami no part of thafMmsi
ness was likely to be the strengthening
of the faith of the person visited. When
the Angel Moroni visited Joseph Smith,
Jfwa's on business,' the bringing forth
of the plates which contained tho re
cord of the ancient inhabitants of this
continent, being the object ho was sent
to accomplish, and he was not scot for
the purpose of strengthening tho'aith.
of Joseph Smith Tho universal vit
ness which bears testimony to all men
who live worthy of Ita companionship
is the holy spirit. This is that which
Is calculated to strengthen and tmstnln

Our reporter did not arrive at tills
meeting until it was nearly half over.
When he arrived Elder Wm. Gard-'
ner was concluding his remarks with
un apology for the way in which he de
livered them, To lllii9lratchiH idea in
relation to the matter, ho said Elder
Ezra Kichards when talking placed his
views before the people systematically
and in order, much as a bklllfull mason
builds a wall, while I, said the speaker,
"mix the bricks and mortar all togeth
er in tv heap and throw them on the
wall with a shovel."
I'llES. DAVID II. CANNON,
of the St. George Temple, had been in
vlted by Apostlo Cowley to uttend this
conference, had left St. Georgo Friday
afternoon after the Temple hud closed
for the week, and had driven to the
tabernacle in this city. Ills work is in
the Temple and his mind is on his
work, therefore thcTcmple work would
bo his theme. There were many peo
ple eyen among the Latter-day Saints
who were not alive to thu Importance
of this work. In that sacred edifice
vicarious work was continually being
done by the living for the dead. Some
people did not understand that it was
uol the dead alone who were benefited
by this work. Modem revelation had
taught us that wo could not bo saved
without our dead. Owing to tho little
attention which had been given to Tem
ple work lately in this part of the state
tho flrbt presidency had been seriously
considering the adyibubillty of closing
the house of tho Lord In St, George,
and a letter had been sent to him on
the subject. He felt that such a move
would be a great calamity to tho peo
ple of this Temple district and he was
happy to say that ths blow had been
averted for tho present, but ho yery
much fcured that If the Saints did not
show a Uioru lively appreciation of the
privilege they enjoyed in liavlng this
house of tho Lord among them it would
be found nesesBtiry yet to closo the
building. The dead aro waiting to bo
released from tho powers of oyll, and
to become entitled to tho blessings
which they euutiot obtain until they
havo been ushered Into the church
through tho door of baptism. In sup
port of this statement the speaker re
lated a number of Instances where tho
Saints had been communicated with by
