Transcription

Washing and Anointing: In some of the missions, notably the Northern States mission, washing and anointing is not used, due to the peculiar conditions in the missions. President Taylor has stated that for those who desire this service, the Priesthood is on hand at all times to give administrations. President McMurrin reported that this practice is carried on in his mission to the same extent, approximately, that it is in the stakes at home, without any harm having come from it.
