Discourse 1881-08-30
Apostle W. Woodruff quotes "A poor wayfaring man" &c Said that was the last song that Joseph & Hyrum Smith listened to. It was sung to them by our present Pres- ident John Taylor just before the mob made their break upon the jail. Spoke on the follney of riches. Rehearsed the story of Nebuchadnezzar, Told how he gloried in his wealth and greatness and of his fate. Daniel 3 We can put no trust in riches. Hoped the Lord would never give him so much riches that he couldnt pay his tithing ^and offerings^ out of it. It is a living miracle to see this great people in these mountains and yet many of us forget who we are and the work we have to do.
