THE DESERET WEEKLY. Truth and Liberty. No. 17. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, . VOL. XLVIII.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
The Sixty-Fourth General Anniversary of the Church.
PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF
delivered a brief opening address. He expressed his gratitude to God for the privilege the Saints enjoyed in assembling in the Sixty-fourth Annual Conference of the Church, and that there were present the entire First Presidency, ten of the Twelve Apostles, and other members of organizations and authorities. It was a matter 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 expressing a fervent desire that the spirit of inspiration and revelation might rest upon speakers and hearers during the present Conference.
