Discourse 1873-08-11
Elder W. Woodruff said there was a great contrast
between the laws, refered to and the Celestial law
as given through the Gospel, if the eyes of the people
of this City were opened, they would be more alive to
their duties, and would hunger and thirst after righteos-
ness. We are living under great priveleges, and have had
many keys and principles pertaining to the living and the
dead—he denounced the fashions of the Babylon which are so
eagerly sought after by our Wives and Daughters.
We have a great amount of preaching and are more or less
responsible for this privelege. Many of the Elders are giving way
to Smoking & Drinking &c which he was sorry to see.
