Discourse 1870-10-15
Elder W. Woodruff regarded this school was one of the greatest priveleges the Elders can enjoy—we are taught here how to build up the Kingdom of God—we can see the hand of God in inspiring his servant Brigham in opening this school, the Cooperative movement &c which soon developed a secret of plot of apostacy And which had been revealed to Prest Young some time before it was making made manifest. The cup of this Nations iniquity will soon be filled up, and the judgments of God will break it to pieces. He then read a little from page 79 Doc & Cov. and by making comparisons with what is found in the Bible, Book of Mormon & Doc & Covr pertaining to Father Adam, as to ^who^ he was &c, we can learn much that will strengthen our Faith & comfort our hearts. Day by day the Gentiles who are constantly coming up to Zion, are fulfilling the scriptures.
