ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
The Sixty-Fourth General Anniver-
sary of the Church.
PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF
delivered a brief opening address. He
expressed his gratitude to God for the
privilege the Saints enjoyed in assem-
bling in the Sixty-fourth Annual Con-
ference of the Church, and that there
were present the entire First Presi-
dency, ten of the Twelve Apostles,
and other members of organizations
and authorities. It was a mat-
ter of congratulation that the
work of the Lord was progressing
at home and in the nations. The Lord
was with us and would continue to be
so long as we sought the salvation of
our fellowmen and performed our
duties. The President spoke of the
testimonies which had been borne and
left on record by all the holy prophets,
from Adam down, concerning the
raising up of a Prophet in the latter
days to establish the Church of Christ
in fulness and prepare a people to meet
the Savior when he should come to
reign during the millennium as King
of Israel. He concluded by express-
ing a fervent desire that the spirit of
inspiration and revelation might rest
upon speakers and hearers during the
present Conference.
