Discourse 1859-06-12
In the afternoon, Elder W. Woodruff spoke of the importance of the great work of the last dispensation, the sending forth to the nations the fullness of the gospel of Christ; alluded to the fulfillment of prophecy; the dispositions of all men to cling to this world and to this life on account of not knowing the reward be- yond the veil, and concluded by showing the anxiety of men to get into power for the short period of 4 years, and how much more anxious the Latter Day Saints should be to secure the power, authority and blessings of a more dur- able character.
