In December two letters were read at stake priesthood meeting from the First Presidency. President Woodruff encouraged the establishing of theological classes to work in harmony with Church schools. He also asked that prayer meetings be held in the wards and that home missionaries be called to travel in the wards as those do who are called to serve abroad.86 End of an Administration During the spring of 1891, there were some difficulties among the people of the stake. A special conference was called for 7 June, and four members of the Quorum of Twelve visited the stake to help settle the problems. Three of these Apostles were Lorenzo Snow, Abraham H. Cannon, and Franklin D. Richards. The fourth is not named. The advice given at the conference would be as beneficial today as then. Following are some excerpts from the Deseret Newszccount: "They advised the brethren to settle their grievances between themselves and not let them spread abroad among the people so as tocause trouble and disunion. It would be better for us under all circumstances to suffer an injustice rather than do a similar act toward our brother. It would also be better for us to submit to the decision of Bishop's Courts and High Councils, as the men composing these courts were generally the best among us, men who were guided in their actions by the Spirit of the Lord and would give just decisions. . . .

Mecham got up and asked forgiveness for giving Peter Parkinson a thrashing. They all forgave him." Then on 27 March he recorded the following: "Cold and windy today. I went to meeting, also Rosetta. W. G. Smith Sr. spoke about procrastination was the thief of time. Spoke about young men who used tobacco. He said, that some of them would have a chew or a smoke of tobacco before they put on their drawers in the morning. This was a habit that was hard to break. . . .Meeting in the evening. The house was crowded. We had a very good program... . William Brough spoke to us. He said the gospel was intended to make bad men good and good men better. He advised us to improve our minds and not be idle. To help the poor and needy. He said it was not the preacher that was always the best man the man who showed by his example and his daily life that he was indeed a man, was the best man. This closed the meeting for this winter."88 On 6 April 1893, the Salt Lake Temple was dedicated. Over the forty years of its construction, the Saints in Morgan Valley had contributed much in time, labor, and money to the building of this sacred edifice. Many of the 38
