Discourse 1864-05-18
Elder Willford Woodruff addressed the saints; eulagized there on the extent of their improvements since he last visited them. "These vallies of the mountains are almost the only place on the earth where peace reigns. Our object in all that we do should be to build up the kingdom of God with our substance and not place our hearts upon it to idolize; if we ^desire to^ gather gold let it be the golden grain from our fields, and then let us take good care of it, that our wives and children may have plenty of bread when famine shall spread dismay among all nations. Cultivate the earth, take care of your flocks and herds, let the holy spirit of God dwell in you, and then you will be contented and happy, and have no disposition to go to the mines to seek it there.
