J. Heber Whitesides, conference president of the Massachusetts conference, writes from Boston, November 20, saying that the work is progressing in that district regardless of the general indifference and the prejudice the elders have to contend with. They labor at present in the cities, while last summer they visited the country districts of western Massachusetts, where they met fair success, considering the adverse conditions. "Our experiences make us more enthusiastic in the delivery of the message we have to declare to the people. We are continually adding to our circle of friends in the city many of whom are earnestly investigating the gospel." The names of the elders are, left to right Lawrence W. Richards, Ogden; George E. Dibble, Layton; Carl A. Lindquist, Ogden; C. Glen Eldredge, Woods Cross; Leonard R. Bailey, Calders Station; Junius T. Smith, American Fork, Utah; George O. Wall, Raymond, Canada; bottom row: Vivian Snow, Salt Lake City; Alfred G. Rex, Randolph; J. Heber Whitesides, Layton; Francis A. Miller, Spanish Fork; John C. Bailey, Ogden, Utah.
