a certified copy of the resolutions be forwarded to the General Conference to be held in Salt Lake City, Nov. 10, 1901." The sustaining vote for a new First Presidency was conducted after the manner established by President John Taylor in 1880. General Conference President Heiner always encouraged the stake leaders to attend as many sessions of the general conference in Salt Lake City as they possibly could. In the first stake priesthood and auxiliary meeting following the conference he would call on various individuals to report on the conference and what they had learned. In the April 1903 general conference of the Church President Heiner was called on to speak. He reported on the stake, the Valley, and the people of Morgan. The Morgan Stake is comparatively small. Brother Hakes stated that he had one of the smallest Stakes. I have been thinking that we had almost the smallest in the Church. We live in a very small valley, but the soil is fertile. The Presidency of the Stake feel that they have a very good people. The Priesthood of Morgan Stake are becoming more united, and the prospect for the spiritual growth of the people is very favorable. The Presidency of the Stake are united. We meet once a week My counselors understand just about as much of the condition of the stake as I do. I have two very good counselors. The same may be said of the High Council. Our financial condition is improving. The people are just beginning, I believe, to find out the value of their homes. I think the homes in Weber valley have, in the estimation of the people there, increased in value 100 per cent within the last year or two. It is probably due to the people cultivating the land more thoroughly and making better use of their time and opportunities. The organizations in the Stake, such as the Sunday school, we are very proud of. We feel that there is an extra good work being done in the Sunday schools and in the Mutual Improvement associations. I am happy to say that everything is favorable in the Stake, although we have some people that are a long way off from being as good as they ought to be; but the Presidency of the Stake are encouraged by the prospects. I thank the Lord for a living testimony of the Gospel. I thank Him that He blessed me with goodly parents, who taught me the Gospel, and that He gave me faith in the Gospel, so much so that I have a living testimony, which comforts me all my days. I ask the Lord to bless the people in the Morgan Stake and in the whole Church, in the name ofjesus. Amen.12 In the October 1918 conference President Heiner was again called on to address the body of the Church. His remarks are as follows; If the Lord will support me, I will be glad to say a few words. I have been very much impressed with the conference up to this time, with the many things of real worth that we have listened to, and I have felt to say that surely the Lord is with his people. Never in my life was I more pleased and thankful for a testimony of the gospel than I am at this time. I also feel more thankful, it seems to me, for our valleys of these mountains, and for our 92
