Salt Lake City, April 7.—The Mormon Conference has been fully organized. The attendance is large and increasing. Brigham Young to-day delivered a long discourse, the main point being against "The Gentile and Sectarian schools which are being introduced here from Babylon." He urged parents to educate their own children and not allow outsiders to interfere in the kingdom of God. He denounced the growing disinclination to pay the tithing. The salvation of the people, he said is imperilled by the non-performance of their duty. The Apostle Woodruff also urged the importance of the tithe praying by the Saints, and deplored the waning of the receipts of the Church Treasury.
