Discourse 1878-05-19
Elder Wilford Woodruff said the time in which we live is the most interesting era in the World's History—a time in which work can be performed both for the living and dead; a dis pensation in which a great many things that have been hidden shall be revealed. To fullfil the purposes of the Lord in placing us here should be uppermost in our minds. He felt anxious to have the people do as much as possible for their dead. With regard difficulties that may arise let us settle them between ourselves. "Go to law and you build up the lawyers only."
