'THE SACRAMENT CUPS'...THERE WAS A LARGE SILVER PITCHER THAT POURED WATER INTO A COMMON CUP. IT WAS TURNED PART WAY AROUND AFTER SOMEONE TOOK A DRINK OF WATER. LATER ON LITTLE GLASS GLASSES WERE USED. ENEZ THORNTON HOFF(G-2) TOOK THEM HOME TO WASH.(TTTT)

IN 1943 THE GLASS CUPS WERE STILL BEING USED. THE FIRST TIME I PASSED THE CUPS I TRIPPED ON THE TOP STEP AND SPILT THE TRAY ALL OVER THE BISHOPRIC.(YYYYYY)

AT SACRAMENT MEETING PETER THOMPSON AND ABEL SMART ALWAYS SAT IN THOSE CHAIRS ON THE STAGE FACING THE PULPIT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE HONORED PLACE FOR MY FATHER.(SS) IF THE MEN IN THE COMMUNITY WERE DISTINGUISHED THEY HAD THEM SITTING ON THE STAGE.(AAA)

FAST MEETING WAS HELD ON THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT TEN O'CLOCK AND RELIEF SOCIETY WAS HELD AT TWO O'CLOCK.(H12)

MONDAY 23 DECEMBER 1889 WAS OBSERVED AS FASTING AND PRAYER BY ALL LATTER-DAY SAINTS IN BEHALF OF FREEDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS. IT WAS THE 84TH BIRTHDAY OF THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH.(J1)

ALBERT ROLPH AND HARRISON PLUMMER TIPPETS WERE HOME MISSIONARIES JULY 1897.(J1)

THE CHURCH JOINED THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MARCH 1913. THEY GOT THE CHARTER FOR THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 21 MAY 1913. IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED IN BEAR LAKE COUNTY ID BY THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS IN PARIS ID IN 1914 BY OSCAR A. KIRKEM AND JOHN H. TAYLOR. ON JUNE 1915 THE SCOUTS WERE ORGANIZED IN GEORGETOWN ID AND MARVIN CLARK WAS THE SCOUT MASTER.

IN 1918 AND 1919 THERE WAS A FLU EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY WHICH THE MILITARY MEN BROUGHT BACK THAT WERE IN WORLD WAR I...THE SPANISH INFLUENZA. ALL THE SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES IN BEAR LAKE COUNTY ID WERE CLOSED. PEOPLE WERE GIVEN MUSTARD PLASTER AND WERE RUBBED WITH CAMPHOR OIL. MANY DIED FROM THE INFLUENZA. THE CONFERENCE OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS WAS POSTPONED FROM APRIL TO JUNE OF THAT YEAR.(P)

A GIRL COMMITTED A SERIOUS TRANSGRESSION AND HAD TO STAND UP IN CHURCH, CONFESS, AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. AN OLD MAN STOOD UP AND SAID "I MOVE THAT WE FORGIVE HER AND FOR EACH, KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT." AND THEN HE SAT DOWN.(HI5)

THE SACRAMENT TABLE THAT WAS USED IN THE CHURCH FOR THE SACRAMENT WAS PAINTED WHITE. WHEN NOT USED ANY MORE I TOOK IT AND STRIPPED IT THINKING THERE MUST BE NICE WOOD UNDER THE PAINT. THERE WAS AN OLD SQUARE, PLAIN TABLE WITH A LOT OF GASHES IN THE WOOD. THE WOOD WAS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE THAT I NEEDED TO REFILL THE HOLES AND GASHES AND THEN PAINTED IT AGAIN WHITE. THERE HAD BEEN TRIM PUT ON IT SO IT WOULD BE DECORATIVE ENOUGH FOR USE.(LLLLL)
