Discourse 1873-05-05
Elder W Woodruff felt very thankful for the changes that are now being made, especially in the Temporal affairs of the Kingdom of God, a vast amount of responsibilites had been upon the shoulders of Prest Young for a long time as the leading Spirit of all the great enterprizes in our midst, such as the Railroad, Zions Coope Merchantile Instn, The Bank &c. He felt that the Kingdom of God was moving onward at a very rapid ^rate^, hence the necessity of new offices, and more good men being called into active service, not only in Temporal but spiritual things. Was much pleased with the Patriarchal Ordination being extended to others, to meet the growing wants of the people.
