Pres. W. Woodruff next addressed the meeting; he spoke upon the proper train- ing of the young. He had no one to train him in the gospel in his childhood days. He spoke of the loss sustained by our memories becoming forgetful, of- times neglecting thing of vital import- ance. He spoke of the great labor de- volving upon the Saints, in building up Zion, and the temples, in officiating for the dead, and of their redemption. In St. George, since the dedication of the Temple, we had baptized for 150,000 souls. Our duty in the world was to warn the people of the second coming of the Son of God, to proclaim the fullnes of the gospel to all nations. He spoke of the far-reaching efforts of this work af- fecting the past, present and future. All nations were more or less trouble to us. He related a dream in which Prest. Young appeared to him and told him to teach the people to strive for the spirit of God and be governed by it, if all had His spirit none would apostatise and turn away from God. We should labor for the riches of the gospel. A few persons had been gathered up here from the na- tions to co-operate with the Almighty in the great latter-day work. He referred to the first time which he heard Joseph the Prophet speak, when he declared they little knew the greatness of the work they were then laying the founda- tion of. He also spoke of the salvation of the Lamanites, and hoped all would strive for more of the spirit.
