The report, among other things, shows the number of people holding the Priesthood in each stake of Zion, and the number who are not enrolled in the weekly Priesthood classes of their respective wards. The object of printing the report is to encourage the classes who have a large percentage of the Priesthood unenrolled to do missionary work among these members that a much larger proportion may be enrolled in the various quorums. A special effort should be made by bishops and quorum officers to enroll all members of the Priesthood in their respective quorums, but unless they actually attend, members should not be reported as enrolled: STAKES "S. §"2 S"o 8 b z STAKES O l> S °-* 2-c a Z1 -O O •5 1*1 Alberta Alpine Bannock Bear Lake . . .

The report of that stake shows that of the 1,292 families composing the stake, 1,231 were visited during April, 1,229 during May, and 1,254 during June. It should be remembered that the wards in that stake outside of Ogden, are agricultural communities, and are quite widely scattered: WARDS E.a •3Q u.

The class members heard of his sickness, and unitedly sent the following message to him over their signatures. One can easily imagine that the feelings of the recipient were warmed, and that brotherly love was awakened in his heart, by the kindly remembrance of his quorum classmates. This is only one of the many little things that may be done by members of quorums to cheer their brethren: Dear Brother: — We have heard that your health for the past few weeks has not been quite so good as usual. We regret that this should be the case, and trust that your cheerful countenance and generally hopeful attitude towards life may not be changed on account of it. We send you these few words intending them to act as an inspiration to cheerfulness. We remember you frequently in our metings together, and we do so miss your genial smile and clear explanations of the principles of the gospel which we were so accustomed to, during the times that you acted as our leader in the study of our gospel lessons. We trust that it may be of some comfort to you to know that you are thus remembered by us, and we never meet in our accustomed little classroom around our table of study, but we miss your presence, and wish for your welfare. We ask that the blessings of the Lord may rest upon you so that you may be healed, and made perfectly well in body, and that your mind may continue to be bright and cheerful in the contemplation of the gospel and the mercy and goodness of God. With hearty good wishes for your success, health, happiness and welfare, and our blessings upon you and yours, we remain, etc.
