Discourse 1867-09-16
Elder Wilford Woodruff said, this is
the first time I have visited your valley.
You have a beautiful valley, good crops,
comfortable houses and a good house to
worship God in. There is no genera-
tion has greater blessings than this peo-
ple in the mountains. The people of
the whole earth are ruled by the devil,
but the Holy Priesthood has ruled in
these valleys from the first; the devil
does not bear rule in Utah. You may
give your children earthly riches which
may all pass out of their hands, but a
good education will remain with them.
The rising generation have got to carry
out the great labor of this kingdom in
its ultimate power and increase; our
sons and daughters should be prepared
for this work. It has been said that no
man is educated unless he knows where
he came from, what he is here for,
where he is going, and what he is going
to do in the eternal world; if this is the
case, I think that there are but few ed-
ucated in the world. Congratulated the
people on their pleasant location.
