Discourse 1871-03-04
Elder W. Woodruff said these important
subjects, require our wisdom, patience and
perseverance. He spoke of Father Russell
ship builder, who before embracing the Gospel
had his Life & Ships Insured, but after that,
drew his interest out, and paid his Insurance
money into the church, and trusted in God, to
take care of his life and property.
He also explained some particulars about
starting the Co operative Herd.
Spoke of the opposition we have had to
contend with from the Government Officials
who have tried to bring us into bondage & trouble,
but have signally failed, God has heard
the prayers of the faithful and delivered us
out of the hands of the wicked—he feels
that God will continue to break every weapon
that is formed against us—our enemies are
very short lived, God has cut them off—
and will do so, & build up Zion.
let us therefore combine and cooperate together
and have integrity and shew that are in every
worthy of the confidence of both God and man
