Sister Morrison made a few  remarks concerning some questions (that) were asked her about the "U.O.". (United Order).  Whether the Sisters that had not joined should be debarred from any priveleges.   She said, "by no means, let everybody be treated with respect. After while we'll have to organize.  If we believe President Young being the mouthpiece of God, we will endeavor to do the best we can."  Sister Madsen spoke her feelings; that it would be our own advancement if we would unite and manufacture our own clothing.  Sister Peel felt well in well doing; said if we can't do good, let us not do evil.  Sister Simpson bore her testimony, feels glad to mingle her voice with the rest.

Sister Tidwell and Borg were out visiting and brought in good reports of the 1st Ward.  Also, Sisters Monrow and Branstead of the same Ward.  Sister Bransted exhorted the Sisters to be clean, both in and outside.

Most of the Danish Sisters bore their testimony in their own language.  Sisters C. Jensen and Strem visited the 3rd Ward; said their were peculiar feelings among the people.  Said, "if we would put our trust in God, more, we  would get along better. Sister Fetcher felt glad to be at the meeting, to listen to the instructions given and partake of the same spirit. She  said we can manufacture a variety of nice things for our own use instead of paying so much means out of the place.

Sister M. Rasmussen felt well and said "all should do right.  This U.O. is the best thing that ever came along.  One thing is to commence a thing and another to carry it out satisfactorily."  Sister Olsen felt glad to be present, for shad not been able to come before today because of sickness.  She hoped that the people will more united.
