Discourse 1880-11-07
Elder Wilford Woodruff detailed the circumstances that led to the events that transpired on Fishing River, and of the journey of Zion's Camp, and there in their distress and poverty, the elders consecrated all they had. The Twelve and probably others did like- wise when they arrived in the valley. If we had remained in Jackson County, half the prophecies of Isaiah would have remained unfulfilled. We are the descendents of Joseph, to whom the promises were made, and the events of our history have been for our good. I believe that Joseph lived as long as the Lord wanted him to, and that he received every key pertaining to this dispensation and conferred them on his brethren, and that it was necessary that he should seal his testimony with his blood. [Doctrine and Covenants 136:39] If our farmers had the spirit of some of the Nephites of old they would dedi- cate the ground and seed they sowed to the Lord. In Salt Lake some of the youth were visiting bad places, but in the Church there were many young men who hon- ored God.
