Discourse 1865-07-14
Elder Wilford Woodruff addressed the Saints: We need constant teachings that we may understand our duties thoroughly. This is a great work, and God requires a good people to work with, and for this purpose the elders of Israel have traveled through all the world, to gather together the proper material to work with. We now are trying to sanctify ourselves before God, to be worthy of our high calling, to build up His kingdom. It is our busi- ness to try to establish the kingdom of God in spite of all the opposition that is arrayed against us. He gave some ex- cellent instructions regarding the train- ing of children.
