Discourse 1878-01-06
Elder Wilford Woodruff addressed the Conference, on the necessity for union, in faith and practice, among the Saints. When difficulties occur they should be settled between the parties concerned or by the Teachers and not suffered to go farther. We were engaged in a great work, but with the blessing of the Lord, we could accomplish all that was required of us, if we were united. If our part was faithfully performed here, we would, not only, have great satisfaction in re- viewing our earthly career, but would be regarded by our dead friends as their saviors
