Discourse 1882-07-17
President W. Woodruff coincided with what had been said, and congratulated the sisters upon the progress of another labor of love con- nected with the Relief Society. That society, like other features of the Church and Kingdom of God, was organized to stay. He endorsed with all his heart the principles enunciated of looking to the Lord. We needed salvation. Men's ideas of medicine changed materially. The course of practice pursued when he was a boy would not be followed now. He related inci- dents in illustrations of this, and showed the necessity of the guidance of the Almighty in the treatment of the sick. He was thankful that we would now have a place for the treat- ment of the afflicted, where the Elders could walk in and freely administer the ordinance for the healing of the sick, and he felt that this institution would grow and increase and ac- complish the purpose desired.
