gram.) A very Interesting prayer and tes
timony service was held this morning at 9
o'clock. No time wa wasted, several at
tempting to speak at the same time on dif
ferent occasions. At 10:45 Elder John W.
Rushton addressed the congregation, his
theme being "The Atonement of Christ."
He is a very pleasing and forceful speaker
and highly entertained his bearers. At J i
m. the business of the conference was j
resumed. President Joseph Smith called I
the assembly to order. A hymn was sung 1
and prayer offered by Apostle J. W. Wright.
E. I Kelley of the first presidency wss in ,
the chair.
Church Historian Herman C. Smith pre
sented a lengthy report, detailing the
changes which hsvs taken place in th
church during the year 1901. From thl
report is gleaned the following:
Bishops have been ordained a follow t
Thomas Taylor, In England; Metuaor.
South Sea islands; George Haworth, Aus
tralia, Evangelical ministers ordained were
Henry Kemp. Fremont district, Iowa,
James Beatty, Manchester, England, and
Joseph Greenwood, Birmingham, England.
Two stakes have been organized, one at In
dependence, Mo., the other at Lamonl, Ia.
The Sixth quorum of elders was organized
In the Society islands, and the Seventh

Publication publishes the Saints' Herald,
Autumn Leaves, Zlon' Hop and Zlon
Ensign. Other publications In the church
Interests are Olad Tidings, Orand Rapids,
Mich., and Prophetic News, Providence,
R. I.
The auditing committee on bishops' ac
counts for tb last two year reported a
follow:
We. your auditing committee, herewith
respectfully submit our reuort. We have
very carefully audited the bishops' reports
tor ivm ana iwi, comparing all original en
tries with the neceaarv vouchers, and
found none lacking, except a few Items for
pustage. We have carefully followed the
original entries through the books until In
corporated in the yearly reports. We think
it due the body that we should state the
condition of the books now In use in the
omce; we nnd the books simplified, com
prehenslve, posted to date and properly
representing the business of the church.
We And in the hands of the different
state bishops notes and deeds to the valua
of 11.610. These are not yet recorded as
f srt of ths assets of the church. We think
t proper and advise that Ihev should b
put in the hands of the presiding bishop
and made a part of hla accounts, in harm
mony with articles IV, VI and VII of arti
cles of Incorporation. We find further that
the present accommodations of the bishop's
oftic-e are wholly inadequate to tha demand.
With only one little room to occupy, no
one can keep the work In proper shape. A
private oifloe for the blxhop and more room
for the bookkeepers are absolutely neces
sary. We therefore recommend that im
mediate measures be taken to supply these
requirements.
