at noon; and a public meeting in the Tabernacle
in the afternoon, after which we took our de-
parture from St. George, having been appointed
for on evening meeting at Washington. That mee-
ting there was crowded, and Karl Gottfried Maeser|I]] noticed with much
satisfaction the presence and close attention of the
younger portion of that community. Monday, Nov. 6
addressed a large meeting in the evening at Toquer-
ville. As there are several young people from this
and other places in St. George Stake attending the
Normal Course for Sunday School, and M. I. Asso-
ciation Work at the Brigham Young Academy, at Provo, a vast improvement in these institutions
throughout the Stake is looked forward to after
the return of these Normals. I am sorry to state
however, that one of them, Bro. Jedediah Larson
of St. George, died at Provo last week, of pneumonia.
Tuesday, Nov. 7, we arrived in the afternoon at Kannarah, and I addressed as per appointment
a large meeting there in the evening. It would
be ridiculous, if it were not too sad, to notice the
restraint ^under^ which the young men felt themselves
obliged to ^be^ in that place, to behave themselves at
least sufficiently during the meeting, in order not
to become absolutely offensive. "You see, Bro. [Maeser],"
so said the Bishop to me, "Stockraising is [capacitated to]
never to be seen in decent society."
