Discourse 1858-10-17
Sunday 2 oclock
Bro Wilford Woodruff after so long a Silence
I feel glad to speak to you how much I shall
say I know not the Question ahas often beeen aske
when shall we have any more Preaching. There has
been silence in gt S L City the voice of the Prophet
has not been heard of late Truth is Truth to day & will
be tomorrow the same Principles of Salvation remain
the same in every age. if you or I ever saw any beauty
in the gosple there is yet the same beauty yet, because
of this Silence it is no reason that we should not
live our religion those who wached over us once are
still watching over us, we should Sow the Truth in
all Sircumstances we are placed, there now seems
to be now a sifting time there has been a strong infl-
uance to Draw away men from the truth. god
has revealed the fullness of the gosple by an angel: the
greater the light the greater are our responsibilities, there
has never been a generation greater privileged than
you this is a Dispensation of Dispensations god has
through Prophet that he would restore again the gosple
this is the same Holy Prieshood conferred upon Adam
and the ancients. This was not revealed to our fathers
now because we have been placed in sircumstances shall
we partake of them such has gold and silver. great is
our condemnation if we turn away we profess to
have resieved a Dispensation of the Holy gosple
we have now. Preached to allmost every Nation under
heaven, & now shall we now turn away. I hope not
though I often hear of some turn away. Well every
man has he has his agency yet god holds every man
rep responsable. not man ought leave the comm-
andments of god. it seems to me that this Church
is making great progress, has much the last 6 months
has it has any 6 months. Did putting the Prophets of
god in chains &c stop this work no it only helped
