Letter to Willard Farr, 14 August 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah,
Elder Willard Farr,
Sec. Board of Education of St. Johns Stake.
Dear Brother:
I am in receipt of your favor of the 3rd. inst., in
which you inform me of the election of a Board of Education for the St. Johns
Stake.
We are gratified to learn that the Saints received
the announcement of the formation of a Board of Education for the Stake with
joy; and while there are, no doubt, many obstacles in the way of your accomplish-
ing the object aimed at, as is the case in very many, if not all, of the Stakes,
still if we keep this subject properly before us and pursue it energetically,
the Lord will open up our way and prosper us to a very great extent, because
it is a movement that if maintained and carried forward in the right spirit
will result in great advantage to Zion. The Lord has made many promises to
Zion, and every effort of ours to build up Zion in the spirit of Zion will be
crowned with success.
We have not thought it necessary at the present time
