DEAR BRETHREN. At the late con-
ference of the Y.M.M.I.A., much
instruction was given, relating to the
organization and government of the
Associations, which you no doubt heard
or have since read. Pursuant to these
instructions and with a view to harmo-
nizing the labors of all officers and
members during the approaching sea-
son, we feel it opportune to direct your
attention to some points that are de-
serving your especial consideration. In
the first place, we would like the officers
to read the lectures and addresses that
were delivered at the conference. (They
can be found complete in the June and
July numbers of THE CONTRIBUTOR.)
If you carefully read and reflect upon
these, you will better understand the
import of this communication.
As soon after the October conference
as convenient, it is expected that the
officers of each Association will get to-
gether in council, arrange for the time of
holding meetings and call the members
of their respective Associations together.
At the first meeting the old roll will be
called, and the names of those who
answer present entered as the com-
mencement of the new roll for the year.
Other names will be entered as they
come in at subsequent meetings. The
present officers will continue in office
until such time as appointments are
made by the Stake Superintendency, for
the annual election in each Asssociation
when others may be chosen, if a change
is thought desirable. At your first meet-
ings you should lay before the Associa-
