[edit] The Sin of Unbelief

The semi-annual conference of the Brooklyn conference, of the Eastern States mission, was held Saturday and Sunday, November 1 and 2. Saturday evening a general priesthood meeting was held and a round-table discussion followed in which a number of suggestions were made for the betterment of the work. Means were considered to increase attendance at sacrament meetings, and to make the work more effective, also ways of cooperating with the Saints.

The first Sunday session was held at 2700 Broadway, New York, at 10 a.m., devoted to the Sunday schools. The afternoon session was held at 2 o'clock. Elder Alvin R. Dyer and President Len H. Layton were released. General Church Authorities were sustained. A sextette was rendered by ladies of the New York branch — "My Prophet dear"; and President Roberts gave a powerful discourse on "A Message of God — The Sin of Unbelief." The closing session of the conference was held in the Brooklyn chapel. Elder Alvin R. Dyer was the first speaker and was followed by a quintette from New York, after which Professor Levi Edgar Young clearly and forcefully expounded some of the fundamentals of "Mormonism." The Spirit of the Lord was with us in all these services and we feel strengthened because of the "feast of reason and flow of soul" given us during the conference. We have fifteen missionaries in the conference. We feel greatly blessed in this choice field of labor, and prospects are bright for a successful winter's campaign. — Condensed from a report by A. M. Livingston.
