[Apostle Rudger Clawson] Pres. Snow said that he desired to hear from the brethren concerning their labors in presenting the law of tithing to the saints. I reported that I had visited the three stakes assigned to meâ€"namely, Davis, Box Elder, and Maladâ€"and had received a report from them giving the names of all the non-tithe-payers, and showing they had all been visited by the bishopric of the various wards; also read a summary report showing other information gathered. Apostles Smith, Teasdale, Grant, Taylor, and Lund reported that they had also presented the matter to the stakes allotted to them. (1)
