Epistle to the Saints, 6 April 1888

Letter to Wasatch Stake Presidency, 6 April 1888

To the President and Counselors of Wasatch Stake: DEAR BRETHREN: The Council of the Apostles have had under consideration the subject of the proper remuneration for the Presidents of Stakes and their Counselors. It has been felt for some time that where officers act in such an important position as the Presidency of a Stake, and whose time is much engrossed with public affairs, some appropriation should be made to assist them in bearing the pecuniary burdens which rest upon them connected with the sustenance of their families. Among other names which came up before the Council, were yours, and it was decided to allow the President of your Stake Three hundred Dollars per annum, and each of the Counselors One hundred & fifty Dollars; these amounts to be paid quarterly, in advance, commencing April 1st, 1888, and to be drawn in the various kinds of tithing received, in equitable proportions. You will have sent you from my office an order to cover those amounts, and they will be remitted to you quarterly, hereafter. In making these appropriations to you, as the Presidency of the Wasatch Stake, it is expected that you will devote your- selves, to as great an extent as possible, to the duties of your ministry, and that you will look strictly after the welfare of the Saints in your charge. Difficulties and contentions should not be allowed to grow to any size without receiving speedy attention from you. If brethren are known to be living in an unfriendly and unbrotherly manner, you should instruct the Bishops to see that the Teachers visit these brethren, and by their judicious labors bring about reconciliation and such harmony of feeling as will admit of all the Saints partaking of the Lord's Supper without condemnation. The necessity of all the Saints dwelling together in unity should be constantly kept before them. No man or woman should eat the bread and drink of the cup at the Sacrament who entertains hard feelings against any of his or her brethren and sisters. They should be taught the importance of settling all their difficulties and

Letter to the Council of the Apostles, 6 April 1888

To the Council of the Apostles. Dear Brethren: In behalf of the Young Men's Mutual Improve- ment Associations we desire to make a brief report. The Associations are in a thriving condition, there being one in nearly every organized ward in the Church. They commenced holding their regular meetings for the present season early in October, 1887, and will continue to do so for about one month longer, that is, until the first week in May, before adjourning for the summer vacation. Believing it could be for the best interests of the Associations and would greatly encourage the work of mutual improv[emen]t among the young, we authorized this extension of the regular season's work, [a]nd have appointed a general conference of the Associations to be held in this city on the 2nd and 3rd of June, at which time a general attendance of officers and members is expected and full statistical and other reports will be given. We also have under consideration some projects for strengthening the Associations and augmenting the work of improvement being performed by them, which we shall present at that conference. Complete reports of the season's labors and the condition of the organization will at that time be pre- sented and copies filed with the Church historian. Feeling grateful for the blessings of the Lord which continue to hover over the youth of Zion, we remain, Your Brethren Wilford Woodruff Joseph F Smith Moses Thatcher. Geo. C. Lambert. Gen. Secretary.
