Letter from Lars Gustaf Larson, August 1895
Discourse 1875-08-01
Elder W. Woodruff, illustrated the difference between the Prophet Joseph and the Rev. Drs. of the day. We are asked why the Lord chose one in ign- orance to reveal His Gospel. It was to have one who ^would^ heed His word. Alluded to the mighty occurrences cotemporaneous with the gospel. Especially the histor- ical & genealogical Society of New England. If the Prophet Joseph had refused the revelation on Celestial Marriage, the Church would have stopped there. In all ages of the world, God has had those spirits who were called before the foundation of the world through whom to reveal His will. This is the case to-day with the United Order of which we seem to be afraid. As if God would reveal any thing for our harm. Uttered condemnation for many of the follies & extravagances of fashion. God, the Holy Prophets and all the hosts of Heaven are looking to us to for help. Let us do it.
