Discourse 1870-12-03
Elder W. W. Woodruff said the Lord intends
to build up Zion, but the enemy is so
far on the alert, that we may expect
to be met on all sides—the Land question
is very important, and should not be neglected,
or we will suffer by it—Ours is a
constant warfare, and has been from the
beginning—we have got to watch and
guard ourselves, lest the enemy gets an
advantage over us—
God was going to build up Zion on this Land
and we ought to carry out the counc^i^l of his
Servants—We had got to Labour, and cease
to sustain the enemies of our God—
Though the Government, through its Officials
are seeking to destroy every constitutional
right, and deprive us of them—they will certainly
find it a dear bought effort, for if we do our
duty, God will frustrate their plans, and bring
them to shame.
