Priesthood Quorums

(Priesthood Quorums Field Notes Cannon Ward Deacons' Outing. A two days' outing of the deacons of Cannon ward of the Pioneer stake, was undertaken early Monday morn- ing, July 18. Thirty-one boys of the two quorums of deacons, under the direction of the supervisors, Ralph Davey and William Glissmeyer, went to Lamb's Canyon by motor truck. Each boy furnished his own blankets, and the towels, knives, forks, etc., as well as fifty cents to pay for food. The boys were assigned in groups to the various tents and all made their own beds, and helped in the preparation of the meals. Monday evening the deacons' meeting was held, after which a jollification was had. Tuesday was spent in hikes to various points of interest and that evening a bonfire celebration was held. Wednesday morning all packed up and returned home, tired but happy. Of the thirty-one boys, prac- tically all are regular attendants at the weekly Priesthood meeting. 'McKinley Ward Outing. Bishop Samuel F. N[ichols reports as fol- lows: In the matter of outings of the Aaronic Priesthood quorums, we have the time of our lives. The bishopric, as a rule, with the supervisors go right along with the crowd. We had several successful swims at the municipal baths during the past winter. During the summer we have en- gaged in various weenie-roasts in nearby canyons. On July 4, we had a very successful hike to Timpanogos cave, after which we had our lunch and then went to Geneva, where we all engaged in a good swim. On this outing we had our priests and teachers along with other members of our ward. About the middle of August we planned on taking all our boys to Geneva, where we would play ball, pitch horse shoes, swim and then eat. In the latter activity the boys have no equals. Maricopa Stake. Attendance at weekly ward Priesthood meetings throughout this stake for the month of June was 40% of the priests, 30% of the teachers, and 42% of the deacons; and for July was 38% of the priests, 25% of the teachers, and 38% of the deacons. Also, practically every mem- ber of the Aaronic priesthood filled some assignment during July. A very commendable record considering all the conditions. Glendale Ward, Hollywood Stake. As an example of the fine spirit evidenced by the members of the Aaronic priesthood, it appears that the presidency of the deacons' quorum of the Glendale ward secured 'the ap- proval of the bishopric to do all the janitorial work around the meeting- house for the sum of $ 1 5 per month. They then donated this amount each month, for a considerable time, to a missionary in the field from that ward.
