Discourse 1874-04-27
Elder W. Woodruff, spoke of the necessity of the Revelation of God being given to this people for 40 years back to guide them but the most difficult part for us to become united in is in our temporal affairs— 40 years last November since the Saints was drove out of Jackson County Mo: and that because they would not be controlled in their Temporal affairs. And Presd B. Young Sr. has commence at the very time the 40 years is up to begin to enter into this United Order and he turned the Keys at that time and it will increase and increase untill like the Waves of the sea it will eventualy overwelm all before it and there needs no long argument to convice us that the time has come for our Heavenly Father to call upon us to make a move in this direc tion—and have you any thing in this World that is before the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ— and we are required to unite together and offer our all upon the Alter.
