President George Albert Smith (4)

   I hesitate to suggest that you crowd together and make more room for the people standing, but if there is a space anywhere that you can move into, let us give everybody a seat that we possibly can.

   Now we are met tonight in this historic building, just as we have met many times, but we have never before had as many people here at Priesthood Meeting as we have now.

   This is during the period of time that is celebrated by the world as a part of the time when the Saviour was in the tomb. Tomorrow will be Easter and the services in many parts of the Christian world will be directed to emphasize that fact. And yet, very few people in the world realize what it means. They talk about it and sing about it, but not very many people know what Easter really means. Now tonight we shall visit together a little in regard to matters that the priesthood are concerned about, and our first speaker will be the Historian of the Church, Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, who will have some information that I am sure some of you will be very happy to obtain, and by learning of it will be able to help the Historian's Office with its work.
