Discourse 1871-08-12
Elder W. Woodruff felt thankful that he lived to see the commencement of a grand cooperative movement, which he had no doubt would continue until it circumscribed the whole of our temporal matters—We should learn to sustain ourselves, and leave off as fast as possible the patronage of our enemies Let alone those who support our bitter enemies—He heartily endorsed this movement, and prayed that we might grow brighter and brighter—Motioned & Seconded, & Carried That the Constitution be accepted and the Books be opened for subscription.
