Discourse 1858-06-20
Bro Wilford Woodruff said Bro Snow has given us good counsel this morning We should take a course to save ourselves to day. The Lord has said he would “prove us in all things” Doctrine & Covenants 98:14 We have taken many Lessons for the past 25 years. we should make up our minds to make the best use of the Lessons we are able to. We have a Years War, but it has been a Bloodless Wone. Prest Buchanan nor Congress does not know us. I believe that Devil is a Christian & goes hand in hand with all Christendom, he is a Gentleman—They would put Jesus Christ or any of the old Prophets or apostles to death if they were here, as they did anciently We have confidence in God & we know he is our friend & that he has sustained us We have not violated the Laws of God or man They are mad at us because we believe that Joseph Smith was a Prophet & that B. Young is his Successor.
