The final sessions of the 138th semi-annual general conference of the Church are now only history. The messages and inspiration today were equally as moving and impressive as those yesterday. President McKay attended the morning session, but upon the advice of physicians he watched the afternoon session from his apartment. His son delivered his closing address. To be remembered is the blessing he pronounced on the membership of the Church.
Among the themes emphasized during the conference was one of a more temporal nature—opposition to liquor-by-the-drink, which will be decided at the polls in Utah next month. Many of the Brethren mentioned it, and President McKay reemphasized his statement in opposition of last May.
I found time during the day to study the second and third discussions for proselyting class, write a brief letter to Bob Russell, read Matthew, and such as this. I studied no Portuguese. Tomorrow that begins again.
From Joseph Smith this treasure: "All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand" (Teachings, 313).
In sacrament meeting it is surprising how much I am beginning to pick up.
