President Wilford Woodruff address- ed the congregation. He thought if any generation needed a Prophet to guide them with the word of the Lord it certainly was the present. The Saints had the privilege of rejoicing in the re- velations of God, given through his servants. The Prophet Joseph was called in his youth and weakness and was not educated in the things of men. But through the influ- ence of the Holy Spirit the Prophet schooled himself until he was one of the greatest prophets that ever dwelt upon the earth. One expression that Joseph was wont to make was, "My brethren don't know me." Nor did the Saints understand the greatness of his mission, which was to lay the foun- dation for the work that was designed by God to accomplish the redemption of the whole human family. That great prophet was the instrument in establishing this work of God upon the earth for that purpose. But do the world understand the mission of the Saints? No. They understood no- thing of the mission the Lord had as- signed to us. There were things which are called spiritual and others called temporal, but each spiritual matter meant that some temporal matter was necessary for its perfection. The Saints should be taught by their Teachers as much in reference to their temporal matters as in spirltual [spiritual] for they are both connec- tion. If farmers went into debt for machinery that was really unnecessary they should be taught they were not in the line of their duty. All Israel should learn to take care of the property the Lord had placed in their charge. The Saints should pay more attention to their temporal af- fairs, and use wisdom as to what crops to use and how to raise them. Zion must be built up. The people should not go into debt, but endeavor to pro- duce what they consume and consume what they produce, instead of sending for goods from afar. Reformation was necessary in these things, for Zion had to be built up upon the labor and cap- ital of the Saints. The judgments of God which the Lord had decreed should begin in His house, were about to be poured out upon all the nations of the earth. God held the Saints responsible for the proclamation of the Gospel and the establishment of the Kingdom of God, both in a temporal and spiritual point of view. The manifestation of the power of God in bringing these people from all nations to settle up these mountain regions was a mighty event in the history of the world. President Woodruff spoke in an inter- esting manner on incidents connected with the inspiration that characterized the ministry of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Lord had never made such great promises to any people as he had to the Saints. None of the people should fear, for the strife was not between the world and them but between God and the evil one. We need not worry ourselves about the Church and its destiny, but do that which God commands.
