Presidents [Lorenzo] Snow and [George Q.] Cannon were at the office. Elders George Reynolds and James E. Talmage called and submitted a communication in relation to the Deseret Museum now located in the building which was erected for the Church University but which is now in the custody of the State Board of Land Commissioners. It is probable that the
museum will have to be removed and it is necessary that some action be taken. Dr. Talmage explained in detail the value of the museum and its standing as a museum of note. He suggested that a reorganization of officers be effected and that annual reports be furnished so as to keep the museum alive. President Snow took the matter under consideration.
A communication from Presidents Snow and Cannon to the Deseret News on vaccination was published in that paper this afternoon. (1)

A communication from Presidents Snow and Cannon to the Deseret News on vaccination was published in that paper this afternoon. Apostle John W. Taylor was present [at stake conference] and spoke powerfully upon the present condition and aspect of the work of the Lord. Said the three Nephite apostles would soon begin their labors among the nations and would break down the barriers that now prevent the carrying of the gospel to various nations. He said they would also visit the saints and many would not be able to recognize them because of the unfaithfulness of the people themselves. Said there were many in the congregation before him would go upon missions to the various nations in the near future. He exhorted all to put themselves in order and for parents to have the patriarch to bless their children. (3)
