First Day-Morning Meeting

The opening session of the Conference commenced promptly at 10 o'clock a. m., Friday, October 5, with President George Albert Smith presiding and conducting the exercises.

The great Tabernacle was crowded to capacity, every available space being occupied. The Assembly Hall on the Tabernacle grounds was also fully occupied, and a large concourse of people assembled on the grounds, amplifying equipment having been installed in the Assembly Hall and on the grounds so that those who were unable to get into the Tabernacle could hear the services.
