Discourse 1884-01-21
Apostle Wilford Woodruff addressed
the congregation for the remainder of
the time. It was very pleasing to lis-
ten to the whole of the discourse. He
said there is a good people living here.
When he looked upon the great work
it required to build up Zion he felt that
we fell far short of what we ought to
be. He was not surprised that the
devil is mad, or that the world are
against us. He and his followers al-
ways oppose the truth. They call upon
us to give up our religion. What a
strange position we should be in; we
should have the devil and all the world
for our friends. But God and all the
heavenly hosts would be against us.
We cannot do this. Our nation has a
constitution, and it was made for us
just as much as it was for any other
religious denomination, and if they
trample it under their feet they will be
destroyed. We have a right to serve
God and we are going to do it.
