Dear Bretheren:
Our Quarterly Conferance has just closed
this evening, throughout it was one characterized largely with
the spirit of the Lord. The bishops ^and^ Stake offices reports
showed plainly a marked improvement in this Stake of Zion
since the Apostles were here; there is not a dissenting
voice throughout the stake that we know of; the
spirit of unison and love seems to exist in every quorum.
The saints have tried hard to follow out councils
recieved; a large majority of them are keeping the Words
of wisdom, and all the officers do. As you may know
from remittances sent to your office and according to the
quarterly report made to the Presiding Bishopric, there is
scarcely anything on hand in the tithing, the people
have paid librally, and the bishops have converted
almost everything into cash. The donations now paid
on our fast days are almost sufficient to meet the demands
of our few poor and it will only be a matter of a
short time untill we will not need one cent of tithing)
