A year later, a special meeting was held in the Logan Temple for returned missionaries who were attending Weber State College and Utah State University. The meeting was called by Elder Paul Dunn, a member of the First Council of Seventy and chairman of the LDS Student Associations Committee. The meeting lasted two and a half hours during which time Elders Paul Dunn, Thomas Monson, Spencer W. Kimball and Hugh B. Brown, all General Authorities of the Church, spoke and taught the principles ofthe gospel ofjesus Christ. President Larson, along with returned missionaries Chris Newbold and Jeff Shaw, were in attendance at this special meeting.54 In January 1970, another significant change took place concerning missionary work. Up until the present time, General Authorities of the Church had reserved the right to set missionaries apart for their appointed labors. Under the direction of the First Presidency, this responsibility was shifted to the shoulders ofthe stake president who was now authorized to set all missionaries apart in his stake prior to their entering the mission home. A month after receiving the letter President Larson recorded: "I set apart Dan Follett for his mission. This was my first experience in doing this."55 Important Events Religious education for adults was encouraged by stake leaders, and in February 1959, the Brigham Young University Extension Services sponsored a class in Morgan. James R. Harris, a teacher at the Ogden Seminary, was asked to teach a Pearl of Great Price course for eight weeks. The class was held on Monday evenings from eight to nine-thirty.56From this beginning religious education for adults has continued periodically until the present time. "Know Your Religion" lectures, education days, and evening classes have been sponsored by Brigham Young University for the benefit of the Saints in the Morgan Stake. On Sunday, 3 January I960, a special meeting was held in the stake tabernacle for all youth of the stake. President David O. McKay spoke by direct wire from the tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Prior to his talk, a program was held under the direction ofthe stake presidency in which several of the youth of the stake were given the opportunity to participate. The program for the evening was as follows: Organ Prelude Bessie Brough "Do What is Right" Congregation Prayer Ricky London "Shall The Youth of Zion Falter" Youth Chorus Theme: "True to the Faith" Welcome and Introduction Darrell Judd, Stake YMMIA Superintendent
