day the Big Tabernacle was crow-
ded and many were turned away
as they could not get seats. We
held about 4 meetings a day for
nearly a week; we had two hard
days work with Br. J. W. Y. who was
finally sustained at the conference.
We are going to fill up the Quorums
of the Seventies, and appoint a man
in the place of John Van Cott.
We set apart 107 missionaries after
conference who have gone to their fields
of labor—a great many to the South-
ern States. Br. Morgan, who has ar-
rived, spoke on Sunday and gave
an Excellent account of the work in
the south; there is a great change
in the public mind in our favor.
On Saturday I attended three
meetings including Mother Tenney's
funeral at G. Q. Cannons home, at
12 o'clock; she is his mother-in-law.
