Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Half-Yearly Report of the London Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Held in the City of London, Saturday and Sunday, May 31st and June 1st, 1851 The Presidents of Branches and Travelling Elders of the London Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints assembled in the Eastern Lecture Hall, Church Lane, Whitechapel, on Saturday, the 31st day of May, 1851, at one o´clock p.m., for the transaction of Conference business. The meeting was opened by singing the first hymn, and prayer. Elder Eli B. Kelsey, the president of the conference, then arose and said, "The presidents of branches present are requested to prepare to give in their reports to the secretary when called upon, that there may be no unnecessary delay. There is a great deal of business to be done, and it is necessary that it be done to-day, so that we need not be under the necessity of occupying more than the forenoon of to-morrow to close up all conference business, and give such instructions to the priesthood as may be deemed necessary to sufficiently impress upon their minds several matters of importance that must necessarily be strictly attended to in the coming half year, that the present flourishing condition of the conference may not only be maintained, but a greater impetus be given to the work in the six months to come than in the six months that are past. We are a progressive people - we are engaged in a progressive work, and should, therefore, do better in the future than in the past. I expect that, during the afternoon and evening, we shall be favoured with the presence of the Apostles and a host of our visiting brethren, the Presidents of Conferences and Missionaries from the Continent. I feel rejoiced at the arrival in our midst of so many of the chosen servants of God. I anticipate that great good will result to the Saints of this Conference from the teachings and instructions that will be given by our Brethren during their stay. The necessity we have been under of distributing a few of them among the saints of twelve or fifteen of the principal branches, situated in London, will spread the beneficial influence resulting from their intercourse with the saints more extensively by far than if they were all in one branch. I hope the brethren will make themselves at home, for the saints whose hospitality they enjoy, will make them more than welcome during their stay. That we may not be hindered in our business by having to dismiss and separate to obtain our suppers, refreshments have been provided in abundance. We have half a barrel of very fine Ginger Beer and a goodly supply of Bread and Cheese, which, together, will not be at all unpalatable to men of strong stomachs and good appetites. During the afternoon and evening we will have a recess or two to allow time to strengthen the physical man by a liberal distribution of the good things before mentioned. The Secretary will now call for the Reports of the various Branches, and the Presidents are requested to speak out distinctly, that all may hear, and the meeting will not be so monotonous as it otherwise would be.
