This is a photo of Temple Square during General Conference in 1911. I love the warning about pickpockets!No doubt there wasn't a problem inside the Tabernacle. After all, pine is a "soft" wood but it took real devotion to sit on those hard benches for two hours at a stretch.

Just a reminder that even in 1911 life was not a bed of roses.
