Brother Wilford Woodruff addressed the sisters upon the subject of dress, drawing a parallel between the days of crinoline, and the days of pinbacks Spoke of a man of Salt Lake City who used to be well off, who paid $600.00 a year for braiding and dressing his daughters hair, and today has not a roof over his head. Spoke also of the order of celestial marriage. In the spirit world there were thousands who are waiting to take tabernacles, and all the world can do, will not stop this emigration.
