Discourse 1883-10-07
Prest. Wilford Woodruff then ad- dressed the Conference. Said it gave him great pleasure to meet with so many of the young men and women of Zion. Made some very interesting remarks about the early days of the Church. Prophesied that the day was near at hand when the vail would be raised, and the minds of the young men and women would be filled with the spirit of the work. The day would come when the cities of the Saints would not have saloons, because the Saints would not support them. Admon- ished the young men to refrain from all evil ways and forsake all evil practices.
