Discourse 1880-05-15
Prest W Woodruff said if the Saints paid their tithing punctually there would be no need to call for means to build temples as there would be an abundance for that purpose. The word of Wisdom is not obeyed as generally as it ought to be. Co Operation is a principle taught the saints as it is for their blessing. These small towns should not have more than one Co-Op Store. Don't pull apart and put up other stores. He alluded to the scarcity of water and how easily difficulties would arise among the brethren. Warned the saints against going to law
