Elder H. M. Whitaker, president of the Georgia conference, gives an account of the conference just convened at Atlanta. Elder Heber J. Grant, of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, with Mission President Charles A. Callis, were in attendance. Elder Grant had the privilege of speaking in the First TJniversalist Church, in Atlanta, by the minister's invitation. The Latter-day Saints as a body attended the services. "Our hearts beat with gratitude as we listened Elder to Grant's inspired words, we were realizing that under the voice of an apostle of Jesus Christ. By the request of the minister, Elder Grant spoke on the subject, Why I am a "Mormon," and if ever a man spoke with the force and power of conviction, Elder Grant did, at that time. At the close of the sermon, the pastor of the church told his audience that for once in his life he had heard a man speak who thoroughly believed every word he uttered, and he wished that the members of his church would partake of the inspiration."

They compose what has been christened the "Gate City Quartet."
