I have had nothing whatever to do with it since that time. I abandoned it I have never resumed it and never expect to do so."

FIRMAGE, HEAL TELL OF TRAVELS (Continued from Page One) labors it was our good fortune and privilege to take a six weeks trip through a number of European countries observing the customs and living conditions of the peoples of the various countries. Leaving London, August 4, we visited Holland where we incidentally met two Provo scouters, Merrill Christopherson and Jay Nelson at the World Jamboree. We crossed Germany and next toured Denmark and found Copenhagen a tidy and modern city. After visiting Sweden we returned to Germany, stopping at Berlin, Dresden, Prague.

Vienna and Budapest, including an entrancing boat Tide down the romantic Blue Danube. Our journey next took us to Venice, Florence and Rome where we spnt three days and then to Naples, later inspecting the ruins of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. From there we went through the Swiss Alps, stopping at Geneva, seat of the League of Nations. At Neuchatel we had a pleasant visit with Willard Nelson, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph Nelson who is a missionary there. Then on to Basle, Mainz, down the Rhine to Cologne, and then a visit through Belgium and hei battlefields, on to Paris where we spent three days and then embarked at Le Havre for New York. After sightseeing several days in New York and Washington we started homeward. The trip home was most enjoyable and of course much was said about the changes that had taken place in Provo.

At the mouth of Provo canyon we saw the new power plant and while we did not have time to visit it we were told oil about it. On into Provo we passed the yet unfinished post office building. In driving through and around Provo we were astonished and thrilled at the new buildings and homes. Especially noticeable to a Provoan that has been away for the past two years is the great improvement on the south side of Center street in the main business district. Yes we are very well pleased with the new power plant and post office but we are more pleased with the new business district and homes which represent Provo's own money and Provoans faith in the future of our community.

AUTHORIZED MAJESTIC RANGE DEALER MLOK BROS OOMROT THE DEPARTMENT STOBE OF WIDTSOB GIVES YOUTH ADVICE (Continued from Page One) emphasized tendency of public opinion in all parts of the world to be increasingly favorable toward the Mdrmon church. Roy Welker, former president of the German-Austrian mission, told the delegates that strict observance of the Mormon principle of supporting existing forms of government had given the church popularity and freedom in Nazi Germany, not enjoyed by other comparably strong sects.

"I am told on good authority that Hitler has said that the Mormon people are doing Germany no harm and that he wants them left alone," Welker said. Welker predicted that receptiveness to Mormon teachings in Poland, Lithuania and even Soviet Russia would lead to 'establishment of missions in those countries. Levi Edgar Young, a member of the presidencies of the seventies, urged "recreating of society through the reidealizing of the world" by return to the purely spiritual teachings of the L.D.S. church. Quinney Joseph Quinney, Logan, Utah, temple president, and former head of the Northwestern States mission, gave a thorough endorsement to the youth of the church engaged" in missionary work.

"I believe in the youth of our church." he said. "A great majority of those who have been in the mission field carry a true testimony of the faith." He urged that Mormons show "gratitude for our special relation with God." Nicholas G. Smith, former head of the California Mission an.d now assistant to the president of the Salt Lake temple, urged that his hearers aid in taking on ordinances for the dead ancestors of converts. There are 60,000 names of ancestors of converts on file in the Salt Lake temple for which the graces of the church have not been obtained. Colton George Albert Smith, of the council of 12, likened the precepts of Mormonism to the radio beam guiding a transport pilot in bad weather.

Spiritual "bad weather" of today lies in "unsettled conditions of a world as disturbed as it possibly could be without a universal worid war." Don B. Colton, former head of the Eastern State mission, told of gains made in Atlantic coast territory in spreading religion and in construction of church buildings at Hill Cummorah, N. traditional birthplace of the church. Cannon Late yesterday Presiding Bishop Sylvester Q. Cannon rendered a partial report of the church's financial activities.

Total church expenditures on relief in the first nine months of the present year was $273,270, he said. Aid was given to 16,163 persons in cash relief and 8,110 were given work relief, he said. The c'hurch expended over on buildings during this year, he said. Wards and stakes paid an additional $1,300,000. Mormons paid 21.6 cants per capita in fast offerings as compared with 14.3 cents last year, le said, and tithes and number of tithe payers also increased.

At the "afternoon session Apostle Joseph F. Merrill appealed itnr increased faith among churcll members and for the guidance of youth. He said a great apparent lack of faith was due to. neglect of prayer. "If faith is to be firmly established, it must be based on an agreement of intelligence with he said.

The power of faith is evidenced in the works of the Prophet Joseph Smith, who ignorant as we consider education today, is the greatest religious teacher since Christ, Merrill concluded.
