Discourse 1879-12-28
Elder W. Woodruff Said no person had a
right to preach that which they did not
practice, advised all young men to let
liquor alone, said that we have young
men in the church who drink smoke and
go a whor^e^ing; some of the heirs of Pres.
Young are going to hell the same with many
of the sons of the prophets that have past and
gone. Did not know that he would have
any sons that would be valiant for the truth
have tried to teach his children and learn
them to pray. Had been away a great part
of the time of missions, the mothers are the
ones who educate the children. We are nothing
but what God has made us and we must
give God the Glory. Spoke of the dealings of
God with Moses, and the calling of him to
deliver Isarrael. [Exodus 3] The men who^m^ the Lord calls
are the illiterate ones of the world, we build
up the kKingdom of God by trusting in him.
The Lord requires nothing of us but what
we can do, refered to the revolation given for
the Twelve to lay the corner stones of a
Temple in Missouria and how it was performed. [Doctrine and Covenants 115:10-12]
