The following questions having been propounded, were read by President Woodruff, with the answers given by the Superintendency: When County or Association officers are called away on missions, should their places be filled temporarily or per- manently? Vacancies should be filled, whenever they occur, permanently. Should regular quarterly conferences be held in each Stake? Yes, and the dates supplied the Gen- eral Secretary, so that appointments may be made by the General Superintend- ency of officers to attend them. Should systematic Scriptural exercises be insisted upon? It is desirable to encourage the study of the Scriptures, and to accomplish the most in that direction, system is neces- sary. To facilitate the adoption of a simple system that will not be too straight-laced, it is proposed that we publish a pamphlet containing sugges- tive programmes, Scriptural subjects pro- perly arranged, etc. This will probably be done by the commencement of an- other season. Should non-members of the Church be admitted as members of Associations? As a rule they should not, but the offi- cers must be governed according to cir- cumstances. Should ladies preside alternately or at any time at the conjoint sessions of the Associations or at the Quarterly Confer- ences? Ladies should not preside where mixed meetings are held and men hold- ing authority are present. Should officers be set apart, and by whom? Officers should not be set apart; no one is specially authorized to perform that labor.
