Leonard Love, Secretary The group herewith represents the Auto Park missionary corps and the Pioneer Stake Presidency, who have so successfully completed the second season's work at the auto camp at Salt Lake City, Utah. The movement started in June, 1921, and continued until October that year; and again, in May, to October, 1922. During 1921, meetings were held in a large tent, but during the past season the Church erected a small chapel from which our work was conducted to the satisfaction and pleas- ure of all concerned. Auto-Park Mission Chapel During the two summers about 58,000 people were entertained. We distributed several thousand tracts and many other Church works, in- cluding Books of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Articles of Faith, and Hymn Books. An average of four meetings a week were held. During 1922, Sunday school was held each Sunday morning, consisting of demonstrations of class work, as actually taking place in our Sunday schools and a musical program by the children. The programs were especially arranged to place the gospel and the Latter-day Saints in a true light before the strangers within our gates. 482 IMPROVEMENT ERA Many of our talented brothers and sisters responded with musical numbers and sermons, and the entire program was carried out with a dignity that caused success to crown our effort. We express appreciation to the many ward choirs for their help, and to the Presiding Bishopric who assisted us with tracts, personal effort and other means, and to all others who tendered their services. As a result of the work a great number of testimonies have come from many people in our country, expressing appreciation for the splendid entertainment accorded them while in Salt Lake. Many of our mission- aries have received audience and entertainment in the mission field as a result of this movement. We believe a splendid opportunity is afforded in the tourist camping grounds throughout the country for fruitful mis- sionary work. The organization consisted of Ed. H. Eardley, chairman ; Jerry Han- cock first; and Charles S. Hyde, second assistant; J. Leonard Love, sec- retary, and the following elders: James H. Sullivan; Gustave Dreschel, Rulon J. Sperry, Frank B. Woodbury, Howard Layton, Charles H. Hyde. Auto-Park Missionary Corps, 1922 Front row: E. H. Eardley, Charles H. Hyde, Sylvester Q. Cannon, D.
