November 11, we had the pleasure of a call from Elder S. T. Whitaker, of Ogden, who returned the other day from a mission to Great Britain. He left home for that part of the world two years ago today (November 13). During his absence he labored the entire time in Scotland, the first year as traveling Elder and the second as President of the Scottish Mission. He reports the work as doing about as well in that part of the United Kingdom as any other. Last year there were seventyseven additions to the Church and the number added during 1889 will probably be about the same.

On October 31 Elder D. R. Gill, of the Fifteenth Ward, this city, returned from a mission to Wales, upon which he took his departure May 23, 1887.
