Elder William Smith was chosen to preside, and elder William Hickenlooper appointed clerk. The president addressed the meeting by way of exhortation at considerable length, and gave much valuable and interesting instruction to the saints. At the request of elder Critchlow, who was about to leave the place, elder Thomas Hickenlooper was appointed by the voice of the church, to preside in his place. Several elders were then delegated to fulfil [fulfill] missions appointed to them by the conference. The church now numbers fifty members, five elders, two priests, and one teacher. The work of the Lord is still progressing and there are calls for preaching on every hand. WILLIAM SMITH, President. WM. HICKENLOOPER, Clerk.
