Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: October 26, 1905 President John R. Winder spoke a few words respecting what President Smith said. He testified to the truth of every word spoken by the President. The funds of the Church, he said, are perfectly safe. Not a dollar is wasted. If any Latter-day Saint had any doubt on the matter, he might satisfy his mind by an examination of the books. President Anthon H. Lund was the next speaker. Like President Winder, be endorsed what President Smith had said, and he spoke from personal knowledge respecting the financial condition of the Church, He spoke of the missionary work. He declared that the young men in the Church respond cheerfully to calls made on them for missions, and it was a pleasure to read the letters which the missionaries, young and old, write home. Large quantities of printed matter had been distributed, especially in the British mission. In some of the missions large editions of the Book of Mormon had been gotten out and sold very cheaply. The French and Swedish editions of this sacred record have run out, and efforts were being made to get reprints. The work had been translated into Turkish, and would no doubt be printed shortly. Rays of Living Light, by Elder Penrose, had been translated by a non Mormon into Greek, and the people at Athens were anxious to have missionaries sent there. In the Japanese mission some progress had been made. Many had applied for baptism, but the brethren feel that the people should understand the Gospel before joining the Church. The Book of Mor mon was being translated into the Japanese language by Elder Alma 0. Taylor. There is a large Sunday school at Tokio, and the children in that city can be heard singing the songs of Zion on the streets. President Lund felt assured that the work of God would not be hindered in its progress. The Lord had declared that it should not be given to another people. We will carry forward this work, and no power can prevent us from doing so. President Francis M. Lyman was the concluding speaker of this session of the conference. Every Latter-day Saint, he said, had a testimony of the Gospel, whether he had been in the Church many years or had joined only recently. One and the same spirit animates the hearts of all of us. And so the work of God was in no danger. The Church did not originate with the Prophet Joseph; he was only the instrument of the Lord in establishing it. God was it author, and it would continue its progress unimpeded. The work is now so firmly settled that it cannot be disturbed.
