The weather that had been so severe for such a length of time lost its violence; and we were favored all the time with beautiful warm weather, which to us proved very propitious, in consequence of our having to hold our conference in the open air. The foundation of the Temple was crowded to excess, with thousands of saints, whose faces beamed with gladnes [gladness] as they listened to the Prophet, and others who officiated at the conference. The walls were also covered and the ground outside. for some distance around the Temple. There never was a time perhaps when there was more order, and the most perfect harmony and unity prevailed. As the minutes of the conference will be given in full, and most of the discourses, it will be unnecessary to make any further remarks.
