Cover Note: With the first area general conference of the Church being held in Manchester, England, August 27–29, it is appropriate for this issue of the Ensign to devote special attention to Great Britain. The front cover shows the River Ribble near Preston, where the first baptisms were performed. On the back cover, top to bottom, are photographs of the Preston, England, marketplace where missionaries first preached in 1837; a street meeting in Belfast, Northern Ireland; and Brixham Harbor at Batley, Yorkshire, England, where the Mayflower set sail.
